Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  The season for the Redbirds has been over for a week now but the playoffs continue to roll on.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about what we can glean, if anything, from the early results of the expanded postseason.  Is a bye a good thing and should the Cardinals retool to focus on that?  Do former Cardinals on other teams sway your rooting interest?  All that and more!
