I tend to be overly optimistic, a trait the Cards usually expose, BUT I am now going to call my position "hopeful," rather than unfounded optimism. I worry about their first bad streak. A series of shake-your-head losses is inevitable. Is their confidence unshakable, or better yet, are they resilient? BTW, I appreciate your insight.
They've shown the ability to bounce back not only in games but after losses more than I think we've seen out of the past few teams. You are right, though, let's see what happens if they lose 8 of 10. Of course, if they do that at the wrong time that might start the wheels moving and folks leaving.
Boy, was I ever wrong about this team. At least so far! (I just wanted to beat you to the punch of saying how wrong I've been!)
I appreciate the kind words. Joining you on Musial is always a highlight of the season for me!
I try not to cast too many stones about accuracy given there are close to 19 years of posts to prove how wrong I get things!
19 years…talk about old!
Excellent post, Daniel. Thank you!
