It's days like yesterday, aside from that three-run inning from the Brewers that show that the Cardinals are starting to play like winners. It came at a time when many in Cardinals Nation were starting to get depressed. Pujols hit his 34th home run and that brought in two runs.
The Cardinals have lost out on the chance to win 100 games this season, and no team has had two 8 game losing streaks to finish first in the division. I'm trying to remain optimistic but anyone will tell you that if the Angels gave up on Jeff Weaver, you don't go out and trade a sleeper prospect for Jeff Weaver.
Bo Hart, at one time was a top prospect, is batting .219 for Memphis.
If Mark Mulder gets back to his old form, we'll start winning. He has a start tonight for Quad Cities.
