St. Louis Cardinals: The ‘Titanic’ is sinking and the band plays on

This is where I am with this 2018 version of the St. Louis Cardinals. I now know how the people left on the Titanic must have felt as they waited for the luxury liner to sink. There was nothing to do but wait calmly for their doom and listen as the band played.

On Friday night, I watch Jack Flaherty enter the 7th inning pitching a no-hitter and with a 1-0 lead. I was absolutely sure the lead wouldn’t hold up and the Cardinals would lose the game. And I didn’t particularly care.

Flaherty then gave up a one-out, one-run home run to Jesus Aguilar and I knew the game was over.
