Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:14:00 PDT

As in, they were surprisingly good for so long that it's pretty surprising they've fallen so quickly. On Aug. 26, they had 76 victories and were -- surprisingly (OK, shockingly) -- tied with the New York Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays in the loss column in the race for baseball's best record. When Labor Day arrived, they still had 76 victories.

ST. LOUIS -- Don't count Colby Rasmus as thrilled to be a Cardinal. Rasmus, a second-year center fielder, requested a trade at some point in each of the past two seasons, manager Tony La Russa said Sunday. (GM John Mozeliak said later Sunday that no request was made.)
