What makes no sense about the Cardinals is the level of talent they have compared to how they've been playing. They only have one really good player (Pujols) on the team. Their rotation and bullpen is a mishmash of scrapheap veterans and a few young players with some upside. A lot of their position players are old and hurt. I'm not even taking stuff like Pythag Record into account, either! They should be much farther back, by all rights. And yet...here we are.
