Pittsburgh and Chicago both have better offense than do the Cards. And there's a lot to their pitching as well.

The whole thing has stood on Cardinal pitching basically. And to do that, it has to be excellent, not just "good".

It's September so Matheney can't wait it out much longer. No choice on pitching it HAS to come back. But offensively, he has some choices and he needs to make them now. For starters, John Jay and Peralta need to sit if they can't hit a baseball.

Wondering if all the forking injuries have finally caught up.
