Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It was a rough week for the Redbirds--come from ahead losses, incomplete comebacks, and only one win against Toronto and Milwaukee.  What's the problem?  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) pin most of the blame on the struggling offense.  Is it just a down beat or is it a lingering problem?  Who is taking ownership and trying to lead the team out of the mess?  And while that's the big problem, there's also the Ryan Helsley question to tackle.  Plus David talks about what the Cards might do in next month's draft.

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  It's a Monday show this week which gave the Cards a chance to lose, but Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) aren't too down on the team even after a shaky game.  That doesn't mean everything is hunky-dory--there's still decisions to be made on Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman and there are a few concerns on the pitching staff--but otherwise it's been a good week for the Cards and that means a good week for us!
