The sweep felt great, but I'd gladly trade playing sound baseball against our upper division rivals, for getting swept at the hands Mil.

In other words, be the Pittsburgh Pirates?

They're in no better situation than the Cardinals are. In fact, they're 4 games worse than the Cardinals.

Did I say i wanted to be the Pirates? No. I simply said I would've traded getting swept by Mil, to have played competitive baseball versus teams we will see in Oct. AS THE CARDINALS, not any other team. I'm more worried about creating a bad precedent against teams that we need momentum against. The season starts over October(3rd?), and I want our boys to have swagger.

Whenever I read stuff like this, I think about the World Series champion 2000 New York Yankees.

Pham hit it too far for the #Cubs fans to throw the ball back. Clears the LF bleachers to put #Cardinals ahead, 1-0. #stlcards

Heyward gets two breaks - strike three called a ball and then Russell throws the ball away after making a great play.

Thank you Cubs. We need to thrash these guys.
