Tim Convy of the rock band Ludo is one busy man. In addition to touring and recording with one of the hottest bands of the last 18 months, Convy and some of his band mates have spawned a side project, The New Heathers, as well as sign acts, including Houston based Without a Face, to their own Redbird Records imprint. Somehow, dude finds time to kick ass in fantasy baseball (he had to mediate a clubhouse squabble between Matt Cain and David Wright after the former beaned the latter) and follow his beloved Cardinals. We had the chance to talk to Tim about the one that got away on Thursday night and on staying alive today in Game 3 against the Dodgers.....
Musicians Talking Sports: Did you think Matt Holliday should have caught that ball, and do you really think it was because of the white towels?
Tim Convy: Of course! I think everyone including Matt Holliday thinks he should have caught that ball. And yes, maybe it was because of the white towels, but that's a part of the game. Holliday missed the catch. There was nothing unfair about it. I know Wainwright was upset about the towel thing, but if I had pitched the game he pitched and watched it all go to hell in the 9th, I'd be pretty irrational too.
MTS: Now that the Dodgers have escaped Carpenter and Wainwright, how do you see Game 3 shaking out?
TC: I think (Joel) Pineiro has it in him to pull it out. And we can't underestimate the advantage of playing at Busch Stadium. The Cards haven't been playing poorly. We're getting hits, we're making plays, we're just not winning. I don't think the the Dodgers are a better team, I think we've had some bad luck and we've made a few mistakes that they haven't.
MTS: Also how do you see the rest of the series playing out and why?
TC: We're going to take the next three. I'm going to Saturday's game, and being a life-long Cardinals fan, I have no other choice but to BELIEVE!
