Let's look forward to the Cardinals Methocalypse

[Saul Goodman]

The Cardinals are so good, they don't even need two Deserved ROY/MVPs like Grichuk and Pisscotty.

Actually, baseball is bad. I've been wrong this whole time.

TPD because you guys are a bunch of Cardinals lovers.  Clayton Richard striking out ten Cardinals over 8 innings: inject it straight into my veins.

Thanks, Jim.

How are the Cardinals' playoff odds looking these days?

How are the Cardinals' playoff odds looking these days?

About a 45% chance of making the postseason per baseball prospectus. Cubs at 83% to make the playoffs, 52.1% to win the division.

So in other words, maybe we shouldn't sweat such things until either a) Labor Day or b) the Cubs find themselves 10 games back.

Then how about this...

The Cubs are tied with Milwaukee in the All-Important Loss Column, with one elite pitcher (Darvish) currently on his second stint on the DL, another (Hendricks - yes, a guy who won the ERA title a year and a half ago is elite) is approaching his career ERA and is historically a better second half pitcher (Career second half ERA is .70 below his first half), and one usually-elite hitter (Rizzo) finally hitting league average offensively.

They're also 14-8 since the weekend debacle in St. Louis.

My wish for you, my son, is that everything you sweat over is as under control as this shit is.

Look once they are comfortably in first I will calm down unless they actually threaten to drop out of first at some point but I swear the second they clinch that division I'll be good until the playoffs.

Bittersweet moment

He should have had a lifetime contract. Was doing a great job keeping the Cardinals out of the Cubs' way.
