It is September and there is baseball to watch.
The St. Louis Cardinals have made it a race to the finish. In an season that has been a series of ups and downs, the playoff odds of the team seemingly changing by the minute, the Cardinals are playing meaningful games in October. Sometimes that is all you can ask for.
(I’d like them to make the playoffs though, too. Let’s get a little greedy, right?)
The Cardinals are in the second Wild Card playoff spot, just one game above the San Diego Padres and 1.5 games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds.
