Let’s put aside the fact that the Cardinals wasted a spectacular start from Carlos Martinez and needed extra innings to stymie a Brewers team that is now 20 games below .500 and losers of 4 straight.
Just forget that.
Put in a box. Put the box in the basement. Close the basement door. And watch this:
Man, the Cardinals needed that.
Also:
The Cardinals have now won 90 games (or more) in three consecutive seasons and extended their NL Central lead over the Pirates to 3 games after the Bucs & Cubs split a day/night double header.
Again, I get your desire to talk about Carpenter’s 0/5 night. Or how Mike Matheny continues to play Jon Jay night in and night out for reasons that grow more mysterious with every 0-fer he churns out. Or the burgeoning problem of RISP hitting for the Cards (last night 1/8).
But not now. Not today.
This team has eclipsed the 90 win mark. With 18 games left in 2015, they have a shot at 100 wins. You tell me before the season that this team gets to 100… I’m taking it all day.
So let’s face the day with a smile on our face.
And if they hit like they did last night? Come back tomorrow and we’ll talk.
