Wow. They are giving up in St Louis.

There is no reason to believe the Astros will lose again this season, given their hot hitting, pitching depth and momentum.

So that puts the Cards on the spot. Either they pull out of this swoon -– nine losses in 11 games -– or they will suffer one of the worst late-season collapses in the history of major league baseball.

Either they will return to postseason play . . . or their 2006 implosion will live in infamy. It will become the failure that all future failures are measured against.

Of course, they felt the same urgency Thursday night and allowed the Brewers blow them off the field. After this fiasco, are there any believers left in Cardinal Nation?

I kept promising myself that I would not get excited about this until they got to within 1/2 game. Now they have. The Cardinals are in such a funk right now that I would not be surprised if that infamous makeup game doesn't have to be played, because the Astros will end up clinching on Sunday. I may be mixing in some baseball with my football on Sunday afternoon.
