What a weekend. Actually, what a week. After taking two out of three games against the Washington Nationals, the Cards’ front office pulled off a couple of trades at the August 2nd deadline that greatly increased the club’s chances to make the playoffs this season. In the course of sweeping the Cubs and taking the first two games from the Yankees, we saw some exciting events for three games in a row. New acquisition Jose Quintana throw six innings of one-hit ball in his first Cardinal start. The club came from behind to beat the Yanks 4-3 when new shortstop starter Paul DeJong smacked a two out, two-run double in the bottom of the 8th inning.
