Well, the Cards were resting their good players down the stretch so one would assume their B team would have a worse record than their A team. I think the Cards will be just fine. They did the same thing last year because they clinched early and people doubted them... they made it farther than 28 other teams. Although, to answer your question, there are some counting out the Cards because of this slump. Harold Reynolds, John Kruk and Peter Gammons to be more specific - then again, they've yet to be right about anything this season.
