What can you say?
The Cardinals just wrapped up a winless week. A winless week where all games were played at home. A winless week immediately following their best week of the season. A winless week while getting 5 serviceable to good starts from the starters.
A video clip that sums up 2016, so far:
The Cardinals are now 15-21 @ Busch Stadium this season.
Fifteen wins versus twenty one losses! With only 2 more games at home in June (both against the Royals), they have a chance to end an entire month with only 2 home wins!!
Remember back in grade school when you got a substitute teacher? Everyone would be pretty well behaved until one kid started acting up. Then you felt emboldened and started to act up. Then everyone was acting up because they didn’t want to be left out of the action.
That’s the 2016 Cardinals.
We thought the bullpen was fine. Over there by the window; minding their own business. But then the starters got sideways. And the offense suddenly went cold. Now they’re wanting in on the action. And Coach Mike is furiously demanding that they ‘sit DOWN’ and ‘be QUIET’.
TREVOR! Stop it. You’re going to hurt yourself.
The Rangers and Astros are not bad teams. There’s no inherent shame losing baseball games in 2016 to either of them. But the way these losses went down? Harder to swallow.
Another day, another comeback win! #NeverEverQuithttps://t.co/dkzQpxyEol

Far be it for me to suggest anything that hasn’t already been said – but Matt Bowman for two innings, eh? We think that’s the recipe for winning close games?
The Cardinals now have 3 games against the Cubs who are 27 games over .500 and 25-8 at Wrigley Field.
They’ll probably win 2 of 3 and continue to turn all of us into Vince Lombardi’s.
Aside:
While I was looking for a photo for this post, I ran across the video below and thought you might like a laugh.
Funny how life works out, because out of all the sketch comedy bits that have ever been produced, this one gets mentioned to me more than all others – combined.
People are spelling Aaron correctly more often, though. So thank you Key & Peele.
