Another result of the Coronavirus scare

The COVID19 nightmare for the Cardinals continues, as their 3-game set with the Pirates (8/10-12) has been postponed to allow the team to conduct further Coronavirus testing of their employees.

Their next scheduled games after these would be a twin-bill with Detroit on 8/13. Assuming that St. Louis is given clearance to resume playing games in time for Thursday's twin-bill, in order to complete the entire 60-game, the team would have to play their remaining 55 games in 49 days.

COVID-19 concerns have now postponed the Cardinals game on Friday in Chicago against the White Sox. However, there may now be some light at the end of the tunnel. Word comes that if the Redbirds can avoid any new positive tests related to team personnel, then they may be cleared to resume games, which would start with a twin-bill at Comiskey Park against the Chisox on Saturday.
