Last night was the harvest moon, and today is the autumn equinox. That tells you the when of this thing; we are approaching the end of the 2021 baseball season. It’s late September and I really should be back at school, as the song goes.
Last night, the Cardinals won a nailbiter of a game against the Brewers in Milwaukee; the win brought the club to 81-69 on the season, ensuring the Cardinals would not post a losing record again this year. The last time the Redbirds finished below .500 in a season was 2007. Think of how many teardowns and rebuilds and teardown agains have come and gone across the game since 2007.
