6/7 Other Games

[Little Slide Rooter]

The '08 Cardinals have started their season 36-27

 

The '07 Reds (Final record 72-90) had a 63 game stretch where they went 36-27.

 

(This isn't to say the Cardinals are a 72-90 level team, just pointing out that these runs happen, but since this one's happened at the beginning of the year, everyone freaks out. And the time to freak out was a month ago when the Cardinals were 9 games over, not today, a month later when they've done nothing but tread water.)

 

The Difference between the '08 Cubs and the '07 Brewers, and '07 Reds is that none of them were expected to do anything and those stretches proved to be flukes, where as the '08 Cubs have been labeled one of the best teams in the NL since pre season. Hopefully the '08 Cards can join the '07 Reds and Brewers.

 

I have no clue what you just said there.

 

'07 Reds/Brewers=Not much expected of them, got hot, nothing became of it

'08 Cubs=doing what they're expected to do. More likely to stay hot

'08 Cards=not expected to do much. currently hot. hopefully, less likely to stay hot

It was a shallow sinking liner that Schumaker dove for and knocked down.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I think he was just pouting since the umpires took a home run away from him, and he hits a home runs once per leap year.
