The Cards may pull this off. Winning the next 2 series would obviously be huge but I'd be satisfied with a single W against Colorado. Mikolas, Gant, Gomber is a terrifying trio to send out to that stadium and with the young relievers struggling to K guys (and Hicks struggling to simply put the damn ball over the plate), I can see the Rockies putting up a couple of 10-12 run games if we're not careful. I mean uuuuuuugly outings.

The schedule for the last 45 games was pretty daunting, but this is the week I looked at when we started playing better and thought..."if the wheels are going to come off, it would probably start there." That was a nice surprise getting the initial win last night. In a way it is almost like getting that first strike as a pitcher.
You get that first one, and obviously your opportunities for winning each series become much more likely.
