Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  The Cards won another series against the Giants, which should give reason for optimism.  However Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) still have a lot of concerns.  Is the pitching able to hold up when you still don't know who your fifth starter really is?  The offense still is sputtering, only scoring seven runs total in the series.  Can anything be done about that?  And what does "creative" mean to Mike Shildt and the front office?  Plenty of monologues in this one if you are into that sort of thing!
