To conclude the 4-game season set, the Cardinals are in Minnesota to take on the Twins... who kicked off a rough week for the Redbirds with back-to-back wins in St. Louis last Monday and Tuesday.

The Cardinals are headed west! At least for a few days. This trip, it's the Padres, who have loads of up-and-coming talent that may not *quite* be ready yet, but the promise is there. And so is Franchy Cordero... which is enough of a reason for me to make a late-night pot of coffee and watch.

I still, literally, CAN'T EVEN.

It's another quick, mini-series to start the week (and end the homestand), this time with the Minnesota Twins. While the Cardinals won't face the familiar fastball of Lance Lynn, they will have their work cut out for them, facing a lineup that seems to be finding its footing.

Can the Cardinals continue the momentum from a clean sweep of Chicago Week?

Cardinals dropping like flies, Carlos Martínez pinch hitting (WHAT?!), and the Cardinals still managed to win in walk-off fashion.

Baseball, man.

All wins are created equal, but not all wins FEEL equal. Rivalry wins always feel bigger. Cubs vs. Cardinals, Quintana vs. Mikolas, Pham vs. THE WORLD... baseball, man.

The weather wrecked havoc on the first series between the NL Central rivals. This weekend in St. Louis, it'll be the Cardinals looking to protect home turf. Will the Greatest Leadoff Hitter Of All Time carry the North Siders to victory? Or can Bud Norris and the Cardinals carry over their momentum the White Sox series to complete the Chicago Week sweep?

Martínez was masterful, but Giolito kept the Cardinals bats at bay. Is that concerning? Sure. Should baseball favor "good losses" and "bad wins" like college sports??

The Cardinals were silent far too long for my liking... but if all people really remember is the ending, then I guess they're just fine.
