Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  After expressing concern about how the Cards would handle a West Coast trip with so many playoff implications, Daniel (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) can only stand somewhat amazed over a 5-1 result.  The club even shook off a rout by the Rockies on Saturday and put up six runs in the first on Sunday.  Why does this team react differently now?  Why are they this seemingly unstoppable force?

The Cardinals also added Matt Adams to the mix this week, bringing back a popular Redbird.  How does he fit in and how important was it that he meshed well with the existing clubhouse culture?

Tara and Daniel also talk about the upcoming roster expansion.  All of this is, of course, after Tara spends a few moments....well, maybe more than a few....lauding her favorite player.  He deserved it!
