Why the 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Will Suck

By Brett on March 30, 2011

Editor’s Note: Yes, it’s that time of year again – the time for us to settle back into our protective bubble where the Chicago Cubs are destined for greatness, and every other team in the National League Central is bound for spectacular failure.
