These three series will tell a story. Two against divisional foes (one being our wild card challenger) and the other against the team with best record in baseball. If they can come out of these 9 games anything over .500 you have to call it a successful road trip.

What should worry Cards fans more than anything is injuries and some of these guys breaking down. It's late in the season and they're all hurting. It won't take much to put Furcal, Beltran, Molina, Freese etc. on the DL. Hopefully Matheny can get Molina some days off and keep him going.

Go Cards!!
