Scuffling

That's the word that applies to the St. Louis Cardinals right now. They are not slumping as much as they are just scuffling along. They have a much better team than what their record reveals. They actually appear to be two different teams, at least when it comes to their pitching. Carp, Wainwright, Garcia- good. Every other starter- bad. And with that dichotomy, you're not going to be able to run off a 6 game winning streak. You'll win two, lose two or lose three and win two, or win one, lose one.

The offense is scuffling as well, not being able to get the bats going like they should be able to.

Thank God the Cards are chasing the Reds so the scuffling ways will be able to keep them close.

Who knows? Perhaps the additions of Jeff Suppan, Randy Wynn, and Aaron Miles will shake up this team. I'm hopeful.
