The Cardinals are off to their best start since, well, ever, posting a 19-6 mark through the first 25 games of 2015.
The Cardinals 19-6 record is the best start in franchise history.

1/2 inning into the game, though, it wasn’t looking so good for the Birds. Los had his first poor start of the season, walking all the Cubs and letting them take a 5-0 lead.
Then Mark Reynolds came up with the bases loaded:
Remember when we thought he was blind?
Anyway… GAME ON!
The Cubs kept adding runs and the Cardinals kept trying to reel them in. Eventually Tony Cruz struck the death blow in the bottom of the 7th inning.
Did I mention that we had a #RallyStreaker? Because we had a #RallyStreaker. Can’t ask for a much better game than that. And to have it happen against the Cubs?
Perfection.
Technically it’s 1 of 162, but if you’re a Chicago player, that one’s going to be harder to shake off before the first pitch tonight than a normal loss.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals are on FIRE. They’re now up at least 5.5 games on everyone in the division, have a 7-game winning streak working and sport a hefty +41 run differential for the season. I’m sure there will be a time to complain this year… but now isn’t that time.
Put a pin on this one, we probably just saw the best game of the season.
