The MLB Trading Deadline will have
come and go by the time these two teams meet up for the first of a three game
series on Tuesday night—but one thing that will most certainly remain the same—the
Cardinals hunger to repeat as back-to-back MLB champions for the first team
since the New York Yankees.
While I don’t expect our Cardinals
front office to make any deals before the deadline, I do know that our men up
front have normally always managed to keep quiet around this time—which happened
when now-Reds’ General Manager Walt Jockety required Larry Walker without a
single media-worker knowing about it until it had been announced over the loud
speakers at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals finally have starting
pitcher Jaime Garcia on a rehab assignment and are hoping to have him back in
the rotation very, very soon—as he will be needed for the stretch runs during
the months of August and September.
Entering tonight’s game, the team is
25-27 away from Busch Stadium following there two-of-three losses over the
weekend at Wrigley to the hands of the Cubbies.
