[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1773500, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/ben-frederickson/benfred-now-would-be-wise-time-for-cardinals-to-pile-on-struggling-brewers-in-two/article_8acb41dd-3505-590f-8f04-218fbf0af33e.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Ben%20Frederickson']Ben Frederickson[/URL] That sunshine seemed a bit brighter at Busch Stadium on Saturday. Nearly 44,000 Cardinals fans found their seats knowing their guys were in first place for the first time since April 25. Believe it or not, it’s the latest it’s happened in a season since the Cardinals won the National League Central and made the National League Championship Series back in 2019. Last season, the Cardinals never led the division after May 30, falling so far behind that a historic regular-season winning streak could not catch the division-champion Brewers. And during the pandemic season of 2020, the Cardinals never once led the division after the first three games. “It’s early, but it’s good,” manager Oliver Marmol had said the night before, when his Cardinals inched past spiraling Milwaukee. “I don’t care how early it is. You want people chasing you. You don’t want to be chasing people. Our goal is to have people chase us the rest of the way.” It doesn’t have to be that close of a race the rest of the way. An invitation to take this division and not look back, avoiding any wild-card nonsense, has been sent to every Cardinal, delivered to clubhouse lockers, the manager’s desk and the front-office mailroom.
