The Cards came into Game 2 of this 3-Game Suds Series trying to get to 10 games over .500 for just the second time this season, having reached that milestone just once back on May 1st. Their most recent try was on July 27th, but they fell to the Astros. Since that game, they’ve treaded water, going 10-10; but, that’s been good enough to earn them another shot tonight at the 10-over mile marker TLR always espoused was the initial bar a team had to clear to begin considering itself as ”good.”
From another perspective, after the wart-revealing 5-game sweep on the west coast, they have gone 8-2 back in the bosom of middle-west teams.
