Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  Well, when there is news to share, of course.  Right now, baseball seems to be in a holding pattern as the clock ticks louder and louder toward making a decision for both sides.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) discuss the possibility of a short season and what that means for the players and fans.  There's also talk of things missed, as the London Series should be coming up this weekend.  Finally, they reflect on the new outspokenness of Jack Flaherty.
