Eating Crow on the Cardinals - and in Life

I was wrong about the Cardinals!

The Cardinals have pulled back into the wild card race.  I, for one, have gone on record on both my 1380 AM radio show and around town trumpeting the fact they were dead.  Whether they inevitably make the play-offs or not, let me make one thing clear, I WAS WRONG.  I said it.  I was wrong.  I thought they were dead, eliminated, playing out the string as of month ago. 

As of writing this blog on 9/22 they are 2 games back with 6 to play. Will they get there? Nobody knows.  But, the fact they were double digit games back in August makes this incredible alone.  So, once again, I was wrong.  I'm not going to dance my way out of this or make an excuse.  I saw no signs that this late season run was coming.  I will never be able to prove, but I believe that 98 percent of people agreed with my opinion that they were finished.

Which speaks to a bigger issue.  Instead of dipping into pride or ego or having to be right.  Simply with the Cardinals, as in life, wouldn't it be easier to just flat-out put one's ego in the drawer and admit they were wrong?  I was about the 2011 Redbirds...
