    • 2024 Season Preview: St. Louis Cardinals
    Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports Is a rotation overhaul enough to get St. Louis back to the top of the NL Central? To put it lightly, 2023 was a disaster for the St. Louis Cardinals. The club lost 90+ games for the first time in more than three decades (1990) and finished dead last in the NL Central. The only team in the National League with fewer wins than St. Louis? The Colorado Rockies. Fo...2024

As would happen again in September 2023, the Cubs had a playoff spot in hand in September 2019, only to go on a nine-game losing streak that was one of the worst collapses in franchise history. Some of these deals might look a bit different in hindsight had the Cubs made the playoffs. M...2024

    Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Nothing good happened in this game. The St. Louis Cardinals came into Wrigley Field with an 11-24 record and had looked bad most of the season. Naturally, that resulted in a 3-1 Cubs loss to their arch-rivals. A lot of stuff happened, most of it bad, so let’s get to it.
