Besides the "culture of losing" that pervades the Cardinals clubhouse, the fans have become jaded and refuse to believe anything will help this organization.
When you constantly worry about something bad happening, it usually does.
Until we change that bad karma, this team will continue to lose.
There are numerous professional teams that have gone through bad periods. Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, etc. All of them have eventually turned things around and reached the pinnacle of their professions. The Cards can do the same thing. All the ingredients are in place.
With a little positive reinforcement from the fans, the positive influence Wiz and Grimm will bring and the win at any cost attitudes of players like Q and Wilson, the Cards are facing their best chance of climbing out of this Grand Canyon of losing they've ever had.
You don't have to be estatic about the changes, but at least see the positive side and accept the fact that this team is poised to break this curse and bring us back to the land of the living. The Wiz is gonna be at the end of this yellow brick road and he has the answers we've been searching for for so long.
