Good luck, Cards. You won't have a prob with the Nats. They can't lean just on their starters in a 7 game series. Not saying the Dodgers could have beaten them in 7, but the Cards can

Cardiac Cards know how to turn it on when they have to. Won’t look past the Nats but can’t say I’m upset they are who we face instead of Dodgers. Either way, one of us is probably getting destroyed in the World Series but would be nice to reach it regardless especially how we looked doomed mid season to fail to reach playoffs.

Nothing better than Cardinals baseball in October. I wish my uncle was still here to see it.

You said it -- they looked dead in the water in mid season. Unreal how (just like the Blues!) they went from also-rans to NL Central champs to playing in the NLCS vs. the Nats.

Unreal.

And I wouldn't put it past them to win it all -- there's something about this club.... I was for sure we wouldn't make it, then for sure we'd get swept by the Braves.

Let's go Card-nals!!

You Cardinal fans have been awfully quiet. It's refreshing seeing the team that took us to 5 games playing so well at least as a Dodger fan standpoint.

Well...there's not much to be happy about. We almost got no hit twice.

I'm happy with the direction we're going, though, and I doubt that the Nationals get there next year without Strasburg and Rendon.

Strasburg could opt out he has some nice cap hits going forward but also one dud year at like $15M. That said I could see him staying and renegotiating because he's one year away from a 10/5 no trade rule. He'll use that as leverage with them to get a fat contract. Rendon is hard to read, before this year he was a good player but nothing great. They have a decent farm system I think it was right behind the Cards and you're both a handful of ranking spots behind the Dodgers so not sure if they're set up to move on from him but I'd have a very hard time paying a guy like Rendon. Strasburg though if he hits the markets gets as much as Cole.

Rendon was arguably an MVP candidate this year. Even with Soto and Robles, the Nats are going to have a very hard time replacing his production in the middle of the lineup. And Strasburg is a Boras client. He's going to want to get paid as much as he can, so I bet he opts out. And with Cole likely a Yankee (or another coastal team), Strasburg is going to be one of the highest paid pitchers on the market.

I will say that the Dodgers are built to last. We'll be fighting them and the Braves for NL championships to come.
