Big Game Today. Seriously.
Big hump today.
The Cardinals have been drawn to 5 games over .500 like stink on shit for the better part of 2 months. Every time they go over, they fall back. Every time they get close to .500, they surge ahead.
So headed into a weekend series with the Cubs and having the chance to get to 7 games over .500, take 3 of 4 from the Dodgers (2 with addition Hanley Ramirez) and hit the road feeling like things are trending up would be a big plus.
That’s still pretty ugly there. The Pirates are going to fade away soon enough, but those 8 game tears from the Reds (including 2 last inning comebacks in 2 days) are going to put the Cardinals out of reach for the NL Central title if they don’t WIN series at home and KILL the NL bottom feeders.
It’s going to be a brisk 94 at game time today. Time to take advantage of fall-like weather and get after it.
