Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. With the All-Star Break in the rear view mirror, Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) talk about the series against the Braves this weekend. Winning two of three is all you could ask for, but it wasn't enough to keep from losing ground in the division. How frustrating is that? The Cards have been tied to Erick Fedde in the trade market. Is that a good thing? Are there some warning signs? The lineup on Sunday had Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado out of the top 4. How long will that last? All this and much more!

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis about the St. Louis Cardinals. While the Cards finished up the first half on Sunday, the bigger news was happening in Texas. Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) react to the selection of West Virginia SS JJ Weatherholt with the seventh overall pick. How did a player projected to maybe go 1-1 wind up available for St. Louis? Where is he going to play? How exciting is it to have this sort of talent in the organization?

The guys do get to the action on the field as well, trying to decide how much of the recent surge is a team coming together and how much of it is the schedule. What sort of concerns are there hanging around this team? How much could the right move at the trade deadline impact the division or the wild card race? Plus some talk about Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt to wrap it all up.
