With 18 games to play, the Cardinals remain atop the NL Central. But even with the calendar on their side, there is no real rest for the anxious minds of expectant fans... especially with seven games remaining with the 2nd place Chicago Cubs.

Can they hold on?

If Jack Flaherty has anything to say about it, their odds seem good.

Baseball's best starter since the All Star break seems to get better and better with each turn through the rotation. And bookending Flaherty's Ace-like efforts is Adam Wainwright who keeps ticking off those contract incentives, one solid start at a time.

What does all this pitching mean for the final stretch?
Is it too soon to think about postseason rosters?
And what about next year... for Waino?

Plus, the Chirp of the Week honors the memory of Chris Duncan.
