The 04 Cards had the 6th best offense + pitching. 1985 was 4th.
Net: Whitey's 1985 club was better at both facets.

Those are good years to compare. 1985 pisses me off similarly as 2004. Both years, we had really exceptional regular season and our best players at their peaks or near it.
1985 and the duels with the Mets down the stretch were some epic contests. 1985 might have been payback for winning in 1982 with probably an inferior team to the Brewers.
