Well guys here we go again, the Cardinals have played themselves into the "it would take a miracle" box. How many times have we written them off, only to have them play themselves back into it? Cardiac Cardinals. Here's a clip from one of my friends in Philly (I used to play an online game with a couple of brothers from Philly).

"That Phils-Cards game was brutal, that shit took, years off of my life.  I have a lot more respect for the Cards offense after these last three games."

We've taken on the best team in baseball, got clubbed, and scratched out a respectable score. We the posted them to a 4 run lead, and used 6 innings of bullpen to beat them anyway, against one of their aces. In this last game? One hammered mistake pitch, one bad double play by Craig, and they leak out a win they didn't really deserve.

This team wasn't supposed to get here, so we've already been blessed. Think about what a healthy Holiday, or a healthy Wainright adds to our club, and maybe what might have been. We'll see if we can extend the season by another game tonight against Oswalt. There's no need to worry about Halladay, or going back to Philly, or how we're going to make it in the NLCS without getting to use Carpenter twice. All that really matters is tonight. How many 1-game seasons have the Cardinals played this year already?

Let's hope it's loud, rowdy, and overbearing at Busch tonight. Let's get this shit back to Philly.
