Hummel: Adron Chambers made his mark with Cardinals at 'the right time and the wrong time'

Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel continues his "Where are they now?" reports on former Cardinals.

The Cardinals were being blanked 1-0, headed for their second loss in succession to the Chicago Cubs and virtually out of contention for a wild-card spot in the National League playoffs.
