GTBH 8/10/25: Is There Hope?

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Another week closer to the end of the season and the Cardinals are still somewhat hanging around, 4 games out of a wild card spot as Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) record this episode.  Does that mean the flame of hope is still flickering?  If not, is there hope for next year?  When WILL there be hope, when a data chip gets sent to Princess Leia?  (Sorry, wrong fan interest)  The guys talk about the current and the future and try to read some tea leaves!
