The Astros did us one better though, they got out of the Cardinals division. As much as it would pain me to leave the NL or the Central. I wanna get away from the Cardinals too >< Why? They've won more than 91 games once in the past 9 years. In almost ever other division there were teams with more wins than they had. There were teams with as many or more wins than the Cardinals in 40 out of 45 divisions over that time. The Cardinals don't win the division that much because they're always really good, they win because they're almost always pretty good, and the rest of the division is frequently bad.
