The Cardinals may finally- finally- resume play this weekend. They may not- this article is publishing at 9 am on Friday, after all. We’re all way past the point where we are the metaphorical Charlie Brown trying to kick the football as Lucy cruelly pulls it away. Instead of talking about the 2020 Cardinals and their stale-as-bread five game sample, today I want to revisit something I mentioned in last week’s article. Why were the 1997 Cardinals so bad?
I realize the 1997 Cardinals don’t have much to do with baseball today, but the 2020 Cardinals really haven’t either.
