Fitch Downgrades Japan

Good day. My beloved Cardinals are having a rough go of it lately. The injuries are piling up, and some sloppy play, which drives me crazy, has contributed. They finally got back to Busch Stadium last night, after an awful road trip, and found a way to win. So get that ship back on the right course!
