On the backing of a four game win streak, the St. Louis Cardinals came into Chicago looking to add even more pressure to the under-performing Cubs early in the season. The Cards didn’t get their chance on Monday thanks to the crazy weather we’ve had, but made up for it on Tuesday in some tough conditions. Even though to some it may feel just like another game, this particular game showed me something I didn’t see in the St. Louis Cardinals last year or in the year before.
What I saw in the 5-3 win was a sense of urgency to beat the Cubs, especially on the road.
