Sooooooo.... we are happy? Yes we are. The Cardinals, those sad sack losers of the Central Division, mismanaged every year by idiot Tony La Russa and constantly battling between winning and penny pinching short sighted management, pluckily scrap their way into the National League Championship series. Right? No, it is not THAT feel good story.Our feel good story had an underrated team suffer through a series of major injuries keeping it’s act together and then regrouping, rebuilding, supplementing it’s roster with key additions as the fans once again just kept showing up. This is a great story.

That is a nice report card. Maybe because of the Chris Duncan distraction management only gets a B+. These guys are good and in the second half of the season they dominated. They have been somewhat average down the stretch when facing motivated teams and quality pitching and have not been scoring enough but they already had it locked up.
So I worry about our ability to hit good pitching. I worry about our closer’s head (as you always need to worry about a closer’s head) and I look at all the talent and all the heart and well... it is great that they brought us here.
Let’s enjoy the distraction.
