If you honestly believe this, you're an idiot.

This season, the St. Louis Cardinals benched significant parts of their starting lineup for prolonged periods in September. In fact, they basically handed the Astros the last wildcard spot by starting so many minor leaguers/bench players, allowing the Astros to win something like 5 of 6 vs them late in September. The Astros went on to win the wildcard by one game.

Ok, you've all convinced me of my naivete on this topic. But maybe what StL did backfired and they lost their edge. They sure looked flat in the playoffs.

Just wanted to remind you guys the Cards beat the Astros to win the pennant. So that sort of kills this theory. (And no amount of rest could have stopped the Red Sox train of victory).
