The Silence Was Deafening

I really can't recall much about today's Cardinals/Padres game. I know the Redbirds won but the most vivid memory I have about today was their clubhouse before the game. I have never seen or heard a clubhouse so somber. 2 of the most popular Cards were traded before the game. You could have heard a pin drop in that room. Everyone was sitting at their locker with their heads down - everyone. What I viewed before the game stuck with me throughout the game/telecast. The silence was deafening.
