Is it at all possible that STL has requested to be away during that time frame due to Fair St. Louis? 
Possibly.

The same way the Blues ask for a light home game schedule during October so that there aren't conflicts with Cardinals playoff games

Cardinals playoff games? What are those? I vaguely recollect through my fogged memory something of that ilk…

Instead our iconic Clydesdales were in freaking Chicago for the game on the 4th

Would almost certainly be a Fox game and national TV would show the grounds and the riverfront packed and people having a great time, instead of the Mets broadcast saying how dead it is or the Barstool Chicago guys constantly trying to create viral content talking about how much StL and the Cardinals suck

I don’t know, feels like a slap in the face by MLB but who knows what the communication is. Definitely could be a lot of factors

Could also have to do with the 4th of July mayhem we’ve seen in previous years (thankfully this year seemed to go much better), and the Cardinals not wanting to have fans leaving the stadium after games while that was going on downtown

The Cubs also like the Cardinals in town as they have 6 different ticket price tiers and ALWAYS place the early July series in the top one.

Not being a StL apologist but this would be a bad reason. If we didn’t host MLB games in cities where there is 4th of July mayhem, there would be like 5 teams that could play at home at their stadiums way out from the city center

The Cardinals make plenty of money as it is from TV ratings for July 4th games in Chicago. They also get lots of business from people going to BPV on July 4 weekend. If you put a Cardinals-Cubs series in STL that weekend, that takes away a Cardinals-Cubs weekend series from somewhere else, which probably doesn't have a major holiday with events happening downtown. So I can easily see it penciling out as generating more overall revenue to have that series on a random weekend instead of July 4 weekend.

Would’ve been nice to get a win tonight to feel like we are truly still in it

Gotta give it to this Cardinals offense though. So much fight and can string some good at bats together to make this a competitive team. This staff can’t quite keep the runs down enough to win consistently

The team has been managed horribly from the FO down to Marmol. It's abundantly clear they have no interest in this team being in the mix at all.

I think they are more in the mix than anyone expected. I assumed they were all in on rebuild this year so they would end up 20 games under .500

Blue Jays one surprises me a bit but I don’t know when they had their last one.

American sports laws amount to a kind of out-in-the-open conspiracy to help a lucky few billionaires get much, much richer

Wow, that seems low for Guns and Roses.  Should have went to Enterprise and sold out.
