Brenden Schaeffer breaks down one of the games of the year as the Cardinals beat the Rangers 8-1 at Busch Stadium on Tuesday, trade deadline day, with newcomer and old friend Tommy Pham calling GAME in the fifth inning as he delivered a pinch-hit grand slam in front of a raucous crowd.

Pham showed exactly why the Cardinals needed him as Oli Marmol now has a fighting chance to do some interesting managerial moves. A RH bat like Pham coming off the bench is a luxury the Cardinals haven't had in a hot minute.

Lance Lynn pitched as well as he could tonight despite some tricky circumstances.

We'll see the debut of Michael McGreevy on Wednesday, apparently!

And the Dylan Carlson saga with the Cardinals has mercifully come to an end. We tell you our thoughts on that deal and plenty of other things from deadline day.

We didn't even remember to mention Flaherty going to the Dodgers, that is how insane Tuesday was.
