As I sit to write this, the St. Louis Cardinals are trailing the Pirates 5-2 and Tony Cruz– no wait, Brayan Pena– has just aired a throw to second failing to catch a would-be stolen base. I, for one, am angry (p*ssed even). What is going on?!
Add to all of these feelings the release of the All-Star rosters and the fact that only Matt Carpenter is- at this point- making an appearance. Am I shocked? Not really. The St. Louis Cardinals have been lackluster too frequently while other clubs and other players have been able to amass standard statistics enough to make the team.
