Small Favors

A few weeks ago, I put up a couple of posts chronicling the failures of the St. Louis Cardinals to live up to the expectations of being a World Series Champion, or even of a minor league team miraculously bumped up to the Majors.

Times have not really changed, but at least there's one bright spot:
Since the 1st of June, the Cardinals are 18-16. That may not seem like much (partly because it isn't). But at least it's better than .500 ball. Right now, the team is 40-45, so they're 5 games under 500. They should at least be half up, half down in another 85 games.

Wait, what?

That'd be 170 games, you say?

And there's only 162 games in the season?

Damn.

Well, at least they're not the Orioles.
