## Resource

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals. And that doesn't just stop at on the field but goes above it as well. The "Tarps Off" guys from Stephen F. Austin brought some energy and buzz to Busch Stadium this weekend and Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) give it the focus it deserves. Can the energy last? Would this have happened in the past? The guys also give kudos to the pitching staff, talk about irreplaceable players, and look ahead at the NL Central gauntlet. Give it a listen--shirt optional!
