8/1/1911 - Jumping into first place tie
The Cardinals went 18-11 for the month, and we took advantage of the Cubs' struggles to move into a first place tie. We had a couple of injuries this month, losing Ozzie Virgil, Sr. and Mookie Wilson to injury, but they should be back soon.
Despite the temptation to make a deadline move I chose to remain silent and see what the Cardinals can do. Our offense is middle of the pack, but our pitching and defense is improving.
We'll see what happens, and this is only our first season with the Cardinals, but after spending so much time in St. Louis previously it feels important to win quick this time.
