I hate this thread and the coincidence of the trend of the teams mentioned since its start date. That said, the Cardinals next 25 game stretch is brutal. After a 3-game set in Cincy, they play:
-Dodgers
-Brewers
-@ Twins
-Padres (4 games)
-@ Yankees
-@ Brewers
-Mariners
Good luck with that. If they are still in playoff contention after that stretch, they they certainly deserve it. Hope they fail miserably.
