i could rant against like half of the cards' roster for overperforming. jhonny peralta is at an age where almost everyone is declining nowadays - especially without the help of PEDs that help you become even better despite entering your mid to late 30s - yet he's playing the best baseball of his career, coincidentally in the two seasons that he's wearing a cardinal uniform. matt carpenter was some random mid-round draft pick turned perennial mvp candidate. by far the highest pitchers' LOB% in baseball? you guessed it, the cardinals.
