Cardinals have done the same thing before...smoke and mirrors early on, with Pujols carrying the load, and it catches up to them......they have a better lineup this time around, with a little more help for Pujols, but they do NOT HAVE a playoff caliber pitching staff, starters or otherwise......the Cubs will not continue to NOT HIT with this lineup...and they have the best starting staff in the division, and probably the NL.....it will all come around, and cubs will still win the division by 5+ games
