Cardinals news and notes: Martinez, dingers, and Nationals

The St. Louis Cardinals season is not actually half over but the season basically lasts six months and three of them are over. In my extraordinarily uneducated opinion, the season is now half over. This is my take on this. Here’s the stuff from VEB yesterday.

• I wrote about Cardinals Warrior Poet Carlos Martinez and how he has a 6-6 record because life is unfair and he should be regarded as a legitimate Cy Young candidate, but probably won’t be for reasons beyond his control.
• Josey Curtis produced the Daily Farm Report to write about all the young’ns in the Cardinals minor league system.
• Noted scientist The Little Scooter (at least she’s always telling me about how she’s a scientist) wrote a scientific analysis of what’s going on with the home run spike. That or she wrote some fan fiction about it. Find out here.
• Craig Edwards wrote about how the Cardinals should destroy the Washington Nationals. As for the first game of the series, it was recapped by mister_manager.
