It can be tough, but Im not going to make any conclusions until we hear from the people that know what theyre talking about.The Cardinals blew a 5-1 advantage and gave up their third lead in as many days. They have lost three straight, were leapfrogged by the Pirates for second place in the NL Central and fell to 18-26 at home.
