That's all she wrote. The Cardinals -- who spent most of 2019 trying to find a balance between expectation and execution -- lost four games in a row to fall just short of the final round of the postseason. Instead, the Nationals celebrate something they never have before. So, where does that leave the Cardinals? Tara and Alex react just moments after the final out of the season, and it's a little bit messy... just like the Cardinals in the NLCS. And yet, there's an optimism that defies the defeat. Go figure! Plus, Alex comes through once again with a Chirp of the Week featuring other Cardinals teams who faced the same predicament as the 2019 squad.
