Pagin the St. Louis Cardinals....um the season is not over yet

That's right, we still have a few more months left of baseball. However, the Cardinals have dropped their last 7 games. So this is what it feels like to be a Cubs fan...I don't like it. The Cardinals appear to be in some time of funk and they need to get out of it. They are still in first place b/c the other teams in their division are lousy. The Cardinals need to shape up fast. If they continue to play like this, they can kiss playoffs good bye. We have two new birds on the bat; Jorge Sosa recently aquired from the Atlanta Braves and Ronnie Belliard from the Cleaveland Indians. Hector Luna was traded to the tribe in exchange for Belliard. Belliard has taken over as the lead second baseman. Aaron Miles is now the backup. Too early to judge either player. According to all reports, both players are fitting in. Both players have seen action wearing their new uniforms. Belliard aqquired his first hit as a Cardinal in tonights game. Cardinals dropped the 7th straight to the Phillies. Congrats to Phillies second baseman, Chase Utley, who has extended his hitting streak to 35 games. The Brew crew comes into town next, hopefully the Cards will sweep them and get back on track.
A true fan through and through- Go Cardinals!

Thank God for the NL Central, where you can lose 7 straight and still be in first place in the division.

By the way, how does the WHOLE team go into a slump at the same time? With the pitching, maybe Izzy's a bad influence, but what happened to the hitting? Even Albert's cooled off considerably. Next thing you know, Ankiel will be back!
