You'd like to see them surge through the tape, sure. Not as a predictor of playoff performance but because they'll be able to hold off a deep NL playoff field that way. But if they didn't start that surge soon, all they were gonna be doing was chasing 84 wins and racing the Pirates for 3rd in the NL Central. They were out of time.

When this turn around started we were just happy to have seen Matheny fired. Not forced to watch that turd mismanage games, watch his "meh" brand of baseball.
We had fallen so far away from what Cardinals baseball that the majority of fans couldn't believe the state of Cardinals baseball.
I don't think many thought we'd make the playoffs. Way too big of hole. Thanks to this streak, we can play almost .500 baseball the rest of the way and make a WC.
Doesn't matter if we hit a wall and come back to earth. It's already salvaged the season for me. The free fall has stopped, I now have hope we can win again.
