As of today, 5/21, The Cards are 4 games out of the second WC slot.
Right now, The Pirates have the 2nd slot. Teams ahead of us for that slot are: Marlins, Mets, Phillies, Giants and Padres. We are percentage points ahead of the Cubs. Nats are a half game back.
Not that it matters a whole lot. The Central Division leader is only 1 game ahead of the 2nd WC slot, and there are only two teams ahead of us for that, The Crew and the Bucks. If it was August 21, I’d say, yeah, we got a hole to climb out of. But on May 21 I don’t even call that a hole. Its just a little hill. Unless we turn back into a bunch of wieners we got this.
