Sweep or be swept

If there's any chance the Cards are going to get a run for post-season play, they'll need to sweep the Cincinnati Reds this weekend.

The Redbirds must be wary of too much talk about Wild Card. Sure, the Wild Card is there, but too much talk about shooting for the lesser ranking is roughly the same as saying, "We not good enough."

Most of Cardinal Nation seems to have hung up this season already. That's not so good, either, as that is the equivalent of bailing out.
