The surging Cardinals are a legitimate playoff threat in a wide-open National League

Cardinals are smoking hot but are they doing it too soon. Baseball has a funny way of things evening out.

It doesn't matter if they do it six weeks later. Teams don't really carry hot streaks over to short playoff series.

we limped into the 2006/2011 playoffs and won it all. We had the best team in baseball in 2004/2005 and didn’t win. The playoffs are always a crapshoot even if you make it to the tournament.

2006 yes, 2011 they were 18-7 in September. They won 4 of their last 5 too.

go look at the 2011 thread. No one posting in there thought we would do shit in the playoffs.

Sure, but that is different than limping in. From mid August they started winning serried and closed a 10 game gap. They didn’t back in was my point. 2006 they hung on by a thread in an extremely weak division.

Why have the Cubs played 3 less games?

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.

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.

The bloodletting has let us get some good looks at our pipeline and for the most part they have stepped up. They won't all stick, but there is cause for optimism for sure. It would take some fortunate turns to make a deep run if they get in, but they still have considerable work to even get there. |
