The Cardinals got the short end of the playoff seeding; while it’s a miracle they got a 5 seed (Covid-19 outbreak, roster shuffling, etc), they face the #4 Padres, who had the second best record in the NL. The teams never faced each other this year, but had a history of playoff matchups: the Padres…

Each Friday, I’m going to be creating a new playlist (anywhere from 10 to 15) of music I love that I want to share with the world. It’ll range from rock to rap with everything in between. There will be live performances, covers, and mashups. I’ll also be taking recommendations. If there is a song…
