These swings. These lunging, languid attempts produced a splattering of choppers and pop-ups — swings as desperate as the men who took them.
The Cardinals, in the biggest game of the season, sure took some bad at-bats. Brandon Moss. Stephen Piscotty. All those guys in the ninth, with a runner on third.
Many in this town are apathetic, and I get it, for at times this team can just be pathetic.
Cincinnati 2, St. Louis 1.
The next loss is now the last loss. Two more Ls, and it’s hard to see the Cardinals tying or capturing the second wild-card spot.
