"This is a very tough-minded group (the 2009 St. Louis Cardinals), and we really made it a point to keep our focus and our edge. And I think there have been a lot of games since we have been in a really good position where it has been there. But it has slipped at times, there's no doubt about it." - St. Louis Cardinals Manager Tony La Russa on MLB.com (10/04/09, B.J. Rains, 'Cards to open NLDS in LA')
