Cardinals defeat San Diego Padres
2-0.
Getting out of September intact was the hard part for the St. Louis Cardinals, who clinched a division title while stuck in reverse.
And the San Diego Padres? Well, after coming into the playoffs with all the confidence in the world -- and rare home-field advantage -- they may not make it through the weekend.
The Padres appear to be headed for their same ol' postseason fate against the Cardinals, who won 2-0 on Thursday behind Albert Pujols and reclamation project Jeff Weaver to take a 2-0 lead in the NL Division Series.
