The season is officially over. The Cardinals finish the season with an 88-73 record, a record which would have made the playoffs in every other year in which two Wild Cards have existed. So that’s fun. Making history and all. Mike Shildt finishes his first (half) season as manager with a 40-27 record, which is a 96 win team over a full season if you were wondering. The Cardinals’ pitching faltered enough down the stretch that I’m struggling to really mind too much that they missed the playoffs, considering where they were at the All-Star break and that they probably would not be able to make it far in the playoffs.
