Oh no, they are 100% serious about it, and basically the reason I got banned from there yesterday :D Check out the other games thread from yesterday there to see all the luck and schedule talk. Nevermind that Stl has faced the easiest schedule in baseball

 

Hah. That was a fun read. Anyway, it's a Cards board, what do you expect...

 

Oh I know, and it was fun. I live around Stl fans here in Central IL and I hear the same [expletive] all the time

 

I live in Arkansas, big-time Cards fan-base. I think we've got the market cornered on obnoxious Cards fan. Of course my Cards fan friends are pretty lame - all they've got is '100 years'....

My wife and brother are huge cards fans. I really want a playoff series against them. Would add so much to the rivalry.

 

Yea if that happened, I may go to prison

It would crush a lot of us if we lost that series, but imagine winning that to get to the World Series.

I dont understand how there isnt more talk of Wells as Rookie of the Year. I know Happ has the wins, but Wells has damn good numbers

 

He hasn't struck out anybody yet today.

 

As an unheralded midseason callup, he needs win totals and/or fantastic ERA/K totals.

 

 

Yea he has no K's today, but with a 9-0 lead, Id expect him to mainly pitch to contact. You are right he needs the win totals or ERA/K totals, but his ERA is under 3.00 thats pretty impressive for a Rook

 

I was just pointing out the lack of K's today to emphasize that he pitches to a lot of contact. ROY starting pitchers generally rack of huge K totals, not to mention wins or at least very impressive records. If he maintains his pace through August and September though, he will have a lot more wins and definitely be in the discussion.

 

He could easily throw 8 innings today, and with the bullpen in the condition it's in, that would be huge.

 

Agreed, I knew what you were saying. Happ and Wells have to be the 2 leading starting pitchers for ROY, with Sandoval and Rasmus the top 2 position players off the top of my head.

 

Randy Wells has really been a God send. Its hard telling where we would be without him, or what Hendry may have given up in a trade, had he not pitched like this.

At the end it will come down to Hanson and Rasmus I think.

Does Sandoval even qualify? He had over 150 plate appearances last season.

Ahh Hanson is the 1 I forgot. Rasmus has really been struggling, so he may be taking himself out of it. Plus hes had a couple cortisone shots in his heel, so who knows if he can make it the rest of the year.
