Can Anything Stop The Cardinals?

With the NL Central race being a tie between the Cardinals and the Reds many people are wondering who will come out on top. There are those that will say that the Reds are on fire and cannot be stopped. The other side will be quick to point out that the Cardinals are on fire as well and are matching the Reds hit for hit.

It seems like only yesterday that St Louis was winning their Championship. Since then the team has been an unstoppable force to contend with. This has led the team to be the one team that gets locked into the sights of the other teams. Tony Larussa has done a standup job in creating a team that is able to compete year after year.

This success can be traced back to a great Manager in Tony Larussa; this manager has been given the honor of being called the next Joe Torre. This is a great honor to have bestowed upon him. The only thing that is keeping him from that next step is being able to win multiple championships in a row. This will be the thing that holds him back and as a result will keep him from being the best manager in history.

The other aspect is the players that have made the city their home and committed to winning games for the Cardinals. This as a result has been the driving force that has allowed the team to have as good a winning record as they have. There are few teams that are as dedicated to the cause of their winning as the Cardinals.

In recent years there has been an added depth to the pitching rotation that the team has been able to enjoy as a result of working with their Minor League team in Memphis. Many of the players that have made an impact with the cardinals have came through Memphis.

There is also a lot that can be said about the power of the bat for the Cardinals, there have been a lot of teams that have not been able to match the Cardinals hit for hit when it comes to the batting order. Albert Pujols has been a leader for the rest of the team to follow and learn from. This is why the team has such a high home run average.

There are few reasons as to why you should not be a Cardinals fan. The team is poised to make a serious run in the second half of the season. If things continue like this then they will repeat as N.L. Central division champs and win their league. All of this will set the team up for their appearance in the Fall Classic and allow them to coast to another championship.
