The St. Louis Cardinals and Memphis Redbirds have announced that Yadier Molina will remain in Memphis through Sunday on a rehab assignment. Yadi was designated hitter in Thursday night’s game, batting second. Let’s look at what’s going on at today’s and tomorrow’s games.<\/p>\n
Saturday (first pitch 6:35)<\/p>\n
Sunday (first pitch 2:05)<\/p>\n
Edible Memphis reports that Helena, Arkansas’ Delta Dirt Distillery’s sweet potato vodka will hit the streets of Memphis<\/a> soon.<\/p>\n As for Downtown Memphis’ distillery, Old Dominick, it’ll have a Service & Sip<\/a> on Thursday, August 11. Participants will divide into teams and give some of the streets of Downtown Memphis a badly-needed cleaning. After that, everyone will reunite at Old Dominick, where each participant will get a free drink ticket. Feast & Graze will provide snacks.<\/p>\n Today is the last day of early voting<\/a> in Shelby County.<\/p>\n If watching TBD vs. TBD in freezing cold weather is your thing, you can buy a ticket to the Liberty Bowl beginning Monday<\/a>. The game is December 28 at 4:30 PM. Most years the bowl features an SEC team vs. a Big 12 team.<\/p>\n We now know what that ancient relic stolen from the Belz Museum was: The CA reports it was a 250-year-old white jade teapot<\/a>. A man took the teapot Sunday. The museum was closed at the time.<\/p>\n While you were paying upward of five bucks a gallon at the pump, Exxon recorded $17.9 billion profit<\/a> for Q2 2022, up from $4.7 billion for Q2 2021. Doesn’t that make you want to buy an electric car? Or a bus pass?<\/p>\n It’s National Cheesecake Day<\/a>. Cheesecake Corner on G.E. Patterson is the place to celebrate.<\/p>\n Tonight’s the Machine Gun Kelly Wing Ding<\/a> at Blind Bear.<\/p>\n Singer-songwriter Bri Marie<\/a> plays the front porch of South Point Grocery today from noon to 2.<\/p>\n Comma Comedians come to the Clover Club at B.B. King and Court tonight, headlined by Dedrick Flynn<\/a>.<\/p>\n WWE SummerSlam broadcasts live from Nashville today. Interesting note: WWE has been holding open tryouts in Nashville all week. None other than former NBA center Dwight Howard stopped by for a tryout. At 36, he’s past his prime in the NBA, but in pro wrestling, prime years tend to be 35-42. He’d be a natural heel who has the size and who could draw some money.<\/p>\n That’s it for this post. Back tomorrow.<\/p>\n
