The late night games in Los Angeles make it difficult for this old body to watch very much and get up and write a post the next morning, so we’ll probably recap the LA series tomorrow or Friday.  However, with the Cardinals moving into the first wild card position and within 2.5 games of the [...]

Not quite 15 months ago, the Cardinals sent Matt Adams to the Atlanta Braves for a lottery ticket prospect. Today, they had a successful waiver claim to put the Birds on the Bat back on his chest. Last year, Adams was squeezed out of the picture by Matt Carpenter at 1B, who had been planted [...]
