It’s really frustrating listening to Cubs losing to the Cardinals, what’s more so, will be the media reaction should the Cardinals win today and tomorrow. They be all over how the Cardinals were under ratted and are contender, it'll all look pretty silly come September when the Cardinals are 10+ games behind the Cubs.

Where the [expletive] was that pitch blue? Get off your ass Lou and say something

 

If this continues tomorrow he needs to get chucked on national TV and bring some BBTN attention to it.

The indians just put up 14 in 1 inning against the yankees

 

Looking at the play-by-play on gameday, I just can't stop laughing.

Cards are going to be tough this year!

 

Ya till July, just like last year

 

i dunno, they have the best hitter in baseball and another one of the top 10 hitters in the game, plus lohse is now a lot better than the back of the rotation guy that he was before he arrived in st. louis. i guess it depends on whether wainwright and carpenter are healthy for the stretch run.

 

Pujuls/Ludwick may be the best 3-4 in the NL, but the rest of their lineup is questionable at best, but if Ankiel, Duncan, and Glause end up productive, watch out. If they have Carpenter healthy for any length of time, Carp-Wain-Lohse will be a very solid front of the rotation.

they probably were underrated. they won 86 games last year and are probably just as good this year as they were last year, if not better. the "back slide" that projection systems forecast is predicated on all the guys who "overachieved" last year not doing so again this year, but it still looks like (for example) lohse and ludwick are still awesome. if one team continually overachieves, it's probably time to stop being surprised when it happens.

We downgraded from last year..We have Araron freakin Miles and the non consistent fontenot at second when we could have DeRosa and our messed up bullpen situation and couldve still had Kerry pitching..I knew right away Dempster would never live up to that contract,just a career year and well be seeing him like this all year.

Until Ludwick does it for another season I'm not convinced he's nothing more than a flash in the pan, even if all the above does happen they're not better than the Cubs.
