It's July 4th and the Washington Nationals are below .500 after getting shut out at home today in their special america focused early game. Great job everyone!

This made me look up how the Cardinals are doing as well (I follow the standings basically I guess though I knew they were hovering around 3-4 games above .500) and at 43-41 I have come to the inescapable conclusion that they are once again going to handily miss the playoffs. They're not going to finish ahead of some six team combination of the Dodgers, Giants, Cubs, Brewers, Diamondbacks, Braves, Nationals, Rockies, and Phillies because folks, they just aren't good enough. They're probably better than one or two of those teams at this point and that's it. Kind of annoying. I've seen them win it all twice but the Matheny era has been a bit of a trainwreck despite multiple postseason appearances. With competent management they would have made the playoffs in 2016 at least and possibly last year as well, plus they'd have probably won 1-2 more championships at least. OH WELL!
