Are people still scoreboard watching anyone but the Cardinals? Really?

 

That said, I almost think we'd be better off if the Cardinals beat the Phils, as we may well be battling the Phils for home field when it's all said and done, which will be huge.

 

I'm not rooting for the Cards, but it's win-win either way in that series.

I actually like the talent the Brewers have and that is still coming Gamel and LaPorta. So yes I am still following them. Once they get rid of Yost, they will be scary.

The Brewers will finish ahead of the Cardinals. The only reason to scoreboard watch the Cardinals is out of pure hatred for them.

Gamel will have to really really work on his fieldin before he sees any time in the Big League.

Yes, because it has prevented guys like Braun, Dunn, and Soriano from playing big league baseball. I know the guy is a butcher in the field, but he will hit well enough to play no matter what.

I'd be fine with them calling up Gamel and throwing him at 3B, it'd be hilarious. Throw LaPorta out in RF and slide Hart to CF while they're at it. Jeff Suppan would probably be siting in jail for homicide after a couple weeks.

I still don't understand why people keep saying this. Kyle Lohse just shut down maybe the NL's best offense today, and the Cards are getting production from random scrubs like skip schumaker and brian barton and they still haven't "come back down to earth". I want the losers to fold as much as the next guy, but I don't see it happening. I just don't.

I'm really not worried about any of them. Only reason I'm watching the Cards is to see that gap widen up a bit more.

 

The Brewers honestly don't worry me very much. I don't see them outperforming us by ~ 8 games the rest of the way, but I guess anything is possible.

Gamel plays 3rd right? Well they got the queerest nickname guys bat there Russell the Muscle...oh I hate that!

Well, I would assume that they trade Fielder for a great arm. Sabathia, maybe. Then LaPorta plays first. Stick Gamel at third until he makes you move him.

Precisely why they will fold. Hopefully your sports forecasting skills are as good as your weather/rain-out predicting skills. :lol:

P.S. even Cesar Izturis was 2-3 today

More fun with arbitrary start points: Cardinals since May 6th - 19-17.

 

They got out to a great start, they've come back down to earth now. And they get to play the next month without their best position player and their best pitcher. They're toast.

 

(And as I'm sure most Cards fans would tell you, Brian Barton has been terrible.)

Oh, I totally agree that the Brewers making up ~8 games over 4 months is pretty unlikely, I'm just saying if you're gonna be worried about a team, at least worry about a team with a lot of high-potential talent with an actual chance to go off.
