4... Finally.

I'll be brief. It's late, I'm tired, and thinking about this makes me a little depressed.

Thank god the Cards finally won tonight! It only took them a week to remember how to do it! Pujols saved the day again tonight. And ho stoked am I to see Jimmy Edmonds back in the lineup this last week!!! Now's the time to light a fire in someone's ass because...

A three way tie between St. Louis, Houston, and Cincy wouldn't favor the Cards at all. First, a make-up game at home on Monday against the Giants (which they have to win!), then a road game either against Houston or Cincinnati on Tuesday. And after they win that game (which they'd have to in order for there to be an "and") another road game on Wed against whichever team is left.

The best thing to do is increasingly-overlooked option three; just win out to win the division straight. No tie-breakers, no arguments or confusion. Just win the next 4 games and take the division championship into the playoffs. Then it's a clean slate! Just play good baseball.

I won't be resting easy until I see that last "W" and my boys at the top of the division after the 1st.

Good night, and good luck.
