Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  October baseball is frustrating baseball, at least this season, whether it is Carlos becoming Car-Loss, Mike Shildt with a headscratcher, or an offense that apparently was only rented for a couple of innings and isn't going to extend the agreement.  Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Birds on the Black, @tarawellman) talk about all things NLDS, including the chances of survival, before wandering down a bit of a philosophical rabbit trail.  Still more hits than the Cards over the last few days, however!
