Washington 37 - 53
Atlanta 39 - 50
Arizona 44 - 46
San Diego 48 - 41
Miami 40 - 48

Only one team for the rest of July has a winning record. Cardinals currently 1 game out of the wild card. Barring a complete collapse we will be in contention on July 31.

The question then becomes what do we add? I think we need starting pitching but other contenders probably need it too. It will likely take a legit prospect or two to get a legit starting pitcher. The front office needs to be better at evaluating our minor league talent this time around and not trade away the future for short term attempt to compete.

After getting blasted and shut out by the Pirates like that, nothing can be considered a soft schedule for these losers

And the series after shutting us out, the Pirates got shut out over a 3 game series. First team in MLB history to do that.

Probably should not do anything until someone with a brain is in charge.

My sentiments exactly.
This team is who we thought they were.

It's true, and yet many are angry or losing their minds about it. The season has 1458 innings. You can't live and die with each pitch, each at bat, each outing. There will be good, then bad, then back again. We have a young team and young teams tend to be inconsistent. We aren't making the playoffs this year. There are better days (and seasons) ahead.

Mo DOESN'T add payroll, BDWJr does.

This is Missouri, Dewitt has to Show Me he's willing to add if the Cards are within a couple games of a WC spot (or NLC).

Thought the same thing after reading the headline. Moe has no say in the payroll. All he does is squander it after lying to Bill about the talent Bill’s money will bring to the team. Effin loser.
