Much has happened to the Cardinals since we last saw them about four weeks ago. To update us, here’s Josey Curtis, managing editor of our SB Nation Cardinals site Viva el Birdos.
The last time these two teams met, the Cubs enjoyed a three-game sweep of the Cardinals. That skid in Chicago was the start of what has been a brutal month in St. Louis as the Cardinals have a 27-28 record entering play Friday. The Cardinals are 8-18 in the month of May and have not won consecutive games since 4/29, 4/30 and 5/1 against the Nationals.
