You know your team sucks when even the opposing team is surprised to win

Cardinals’ Nick Stavinoha, left, and Matt Holliday, right, watch from the dugout during the ninth inning against the Astros Wednesday in Houston.

"Their backs are against the wall, not ours, and it didn't look like they wanted to come out and beat us," Blum said. "It's really surprising. For whatever reason, we got to them at their weakest point."

A 5-2 loss to the Houston Astros. The Cardinals have not shown up to play baseball when need to play to there full potential. The difference maker in all of there losses has been consistency, if the team gets hits, the pitchers cant get outs, and if the pitchers are getting ground balls, the offense is not getting started, even Chris Carpenter of the Cards said it himself.

With the Cardinals not getting the job done in August when it was well predicted that they would be in the lead of the Central Division by now, they seem to be carrying this "slump" into September with yet another loss to the Astros.

Well the Cardinals are now done with the sub .500 teams, well for three more days. Its the chance of a lifetime now as St. Louis will go back home to host the Reds to gain some of that ground back, but really ask yourself, is it really even remotely possible to get back into the race? With the Cardinals are playing and the way the Reds are mauling everyone in there path? Uh, not really.

To make matters worse the Reds just called up pitcher Aroldis Chapman form AAA, No big deal? Are you kidding me this young fireballer hit 104 on a pro gun. Hey guys try and try again, you wont even make contact.

A day off today gives Jason Motte and Dennys Reyes 24 hours to rest and get ready for the most important series of the season.

The just over par 2010 Cardinals squad has disappointed many, but as you look past this season into the future the Cardinals rookies will grow and the opportunity of gaining some solid talent in the offseason.

All in all it was a well fought season, just couldnt stick with it down the stretch.

So everyone GO RAMS!!! Im looking forward to a superbowl season this year. Ya in my dreams. Ravens are going down tonight.
