With St. Louis still buzzing after a rousing weekend as host for the 100th PGA Championship, the Cardinals return home a far different team than the one that left. The bullpen is in sync, the offense has a knack for timing, and they have a foothold (finally) in the playoff race. Really. St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Ben Frederickson and baseball writer Derrick Goold discuss the reasons behind the turnaround, with birds, helicopters, and police sirens as the calming soundtrack behind them. Has new manager Mike Shildt brought a different Zen to the clubhouse -- or is it something else? Something more positive? Patrick Wisdom's promotion, Tyson Ross' presence, and what it will take to remove the interim tag from Shildt's title are also discussed.
