The only thing that will surprise me about the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals is if they win more than 60 games.
Funny how all these guys play like they are experts and lifelong Cardinal fans are not.
Doom and gloom fans report here. All treams go through rough patches. Even the Dodgers and Yankees. Let's go get it boys! Have fun and build a winner!
