No one needs me to say it, but I will anyway: Things are looking grim. After suffering a three game sweep at the hands of their biggest competition for the Central division, the Cards sit 6 games out of the division and 4 1/2 games out of the second Wild Card game.
That said, no one’s giving up. Matt Carpenter recently admitted to dealing with a shoulder injury. Games are still relevant though, and he’s trying to push on. Most MLB players are extremely competitive, and Matt Carpenter shows no signs of being any different.
