85 wins? And we won't come close. Not that we could have gone anywhere.

It would take The d backs reds giants and Mets players and their tripple A teams to all die in crashes. Possibly their AA teams players to also die and their major league teams rosters forced to be manned by their A ball players. Then the cardinals may have a chance

Do the Cardinals have any games left with any of these teams?

My post wasn't asking what would it take the Cardinals. I was asking what will it take to get in. Clearly that boat sailed long ago.

Planes falling? The Mets have crashed already. They need to go 8-6 just to win 84. Not likely.

Ha!

That is funny.

The Cards are terrible. More likely competing for last in the NLC than they are a playoff berth.

Not that I'm happy about it.

Those are obvious. But it’s not the over arching issue. Building a team environment. That is so very hard to do- the daily attitudes and actions of 26 type A guys.

The performance level between STL and LA is minimal. Adding won’t win. It’s the mental structure of the org.

And. It’s all based on a particular leadership style. Some work. Some don’t.
