The end of the regular season is nearly upon us. A season of uncertainty is drawing to an uncertain conclusion, with two games remaining this weekend against the Brewers and two more possible against the Detroit Tigers. I’m writing this article while watching the first of Friday’s doubleheaders. I’m cautiously optimistic that the Cardinals will make the playoffs and hopeful that you’re reading this article Saturday morning in good spirits after a Friday night sweep. (Though, with Flaherty struggling early, that’s not looking very promising.)
I’ve sporadically devoted this Saturday morning space to a casual “best of” series.
