    Not to mention he's pale shadow of the player he used to be, don't be fooled by one good game. His best days/effectiveness are way behind him.

    Are you suggesting that Larry may have found and fixed something the great Dave Duncan and Cards coaching staff didn't find or fix? Isn't that against the law or impossibility? And don't forget Leo Mazzone and the Braves coaching staff. I remembered that as well, however, we all know its a mortal sin to question the Braves MO.

    Their lineup to date is better than the Cubs. I just don't think they are running away with the div., which I loosely define as being 10 games up on Sept. 1. They very well could win it, however. Will it continue to be so once Soriano starts to hit? Having gotten nothing from Soriano, the Brewers have still only scored 5 more runs than the Cubs - 117-112.

    I was gonna say the exact same thing. The Reds had such a great April last year they stayed in contention playing mediocre ball the rest of the way. The Reds were also a less talented team getting awfully flukey pitching last April. True but, I find it hard to believe that a rotation made up of the likes of Claudio Vargas and Dave Bush is going to allow them to play .600 ball. Add to this Ben Sheets with a groin injury(as we know, groin injuries have a way staying around all season) and the prospect of them running away with the Central doesn't appear good.

    Atlanta? The Brewers are pretty damn good. They're all right. But the times they beat us, they trotted out guys like Claudio Vargas. And we made Jeff Suppan look like Cy Young. We did beat Sheets both times, so I guess we have that going for us. I'll agree, the Brewers are the best team in the NL Central. But being the best team in the NL Central does not equate to being a good team. Any team getting wins from the likes of Claudio Vargas and bigs hits off the bats of Craig Counsell and Tony Graffinino is not the best of any division.

    Heat, playing and hacking with all this "energy", up only 3? The Bulls may not win today but, clearly Miami hasn't much of a chance, they're nearly done.

    So, how many RBI's will cream of crap Counsell have today? In addition to this team underperforming, the most frustrating aspect of this season may be below average players Counsell, Wilson, et. al. looking competent vs.the Cubs.

    How about this: Lee hitting a HR or Zambrano issuing less than 5 BB's in his remaining starts?

    At this point a QS from Miller would be considered a near miracle.

    Lord knows why. I'm pretty sure he played SS his whole time at LSU, and has played some SS in the minors. At worst he'd be adequate, and his bat is so much better than Izturis/Cedeno that it'd make up for the difference in defense. Yeah. My guess is they don't think his arm is strong enough to play SS, but hell that hasn't stopped Eckstein. Heck, there's little leaguers with more of an arm than Eckstein, his arm can't be that bad.

I too, believe he'd be at least adequate defensively, his bat and baserunning are far superior to Cedeno/Izturis.

    Upon Soriano' return why wouldn't Lou go with Theriot at SS, DeRosa at 2B, Soriano in LF, Pie in CF, Jones/Murton/Floyd in RF? This means Cedeno will probably be DFA, along with Miller (I hope). Well Cedeno doesn't have to be DFA, nor should he be. He's still young with options. But, I would love a line-up that looked something like this: LF Soriano SS Theriot 1b Lee 3b Ramirez RF Jones/Murton/Floyd C Barrett 2b DeRosa CF Pie/Jones For whatever reason, they don't seem to want to put Theriot at SS. But, could Theriot play CF? Pie could be sent back to Iowa, and Theriot could get his ABs splitting time with Jones in CF leaving RF for Murton or Floyd. But if Lou wants to go with 12 pitchers doesn't that mean one of the positions players has to go?

    I still maintain Slappy or even, Eckstein will hit a HR before Lee does.
  16. gflore34
    Yet, the Cardinals with largely a collection of crap will win 90 games.
  17. gflore34
    He won't, probably be into 100's by the 4th, will fall flat on his face.
  18. gflore34
    I'll see your 200 and raise you 50, in fact, Slappy will hit a HR before Lee does.
  19. gflore34
    This Cardinal team might be worse than last year' yet, they'll still probably make the playoffs. Beyond Edmonds, Rolen and Pujols is there a player on this team that would start for any other team?
  20. gflore34
    If Pujols is under 35, I'm going to be elected President in 2008.
  21. gflore34
    Any chance Big Z gives the Cubs a big lift tomorrow?
  22. gflore34
    I meant 2R HR...
  23. gflore34
    Maybe Lee will hit a 2 out HR.
  24. gflore34
    Finally, the real Preston Wilson shows up!!!!
  25. gflore34
    The first pitch by Cotts was a strike last half-inning!!!!!
