    So you're saying its not possible? That's just dumb. It would be possible for the Cubs staff to do it. Neither are likely, but both are technically possible.

    Apparently Tony has Juan Encarnacion penciled at the #2 spot in the lineup. http://forums.stltoday.com/viewtopic.php?t=336399 Uhhh? What's his career obp? Something like .316? How about 7th or 8th Tony?
  3. wolf stansson
    Thankyou.

    I doubt it happens as well, but zero means you are giving that no chance of happening. I'd give them better odds than that. Our 6th option is Ponson/Reyes depending on which one starts the season in the pen. I'm guessing Ponson will start in the pen. Our 7th is probably Brett Tomko Jr. *er* Adam Wainright. I am in complete agreement with you. All I was saying is that pre 2004, nodoby was giving them much of a chance and they dominated. I'm just trying to get you to admit that in addition to them having a chance of finishing sub 90 wins, they have a chance of winning 100 again. I think they'll be right in the middle of that, but either is possible.

    That's exactly where I would put them.

    Pretty much the consensus division projected finish was: 1 - Cubs 2 - Astros 3 - Cards Our rotations was Morris (Injured), Carpenter (hadn't pitched for nearly 2 seasons), Woody Williams (Injured), Jeff Suppan (sucky), and Jason Marquis (Very little major league experience, none of it successful). You probably wouldn't remember, but I do. They were picked to be also ran's. Edmonds had a bad year. We lost Vina. Pujols was changing positions. We didn't have a right fielder after trading Drew. Izzy was coming off an injury plagued season. We lost our most versatile bench player in Marrero.

    Maybe you should re-read my post because you clearly just read what you wanted to. NOTE THE WORD *SHOULD* (which means might not bud). Also, how dare I be optimistic about a team who has had 6 winning season in a row.
  8. wolf stansson
    Not that I don't disagree that the Cards have regressed, but according to the "experts" and most of the understandably and appropriately biased people on this board, they've regressed each of the last 2 seasons. 205 wins later they are saying the same thing. The question is, is this the year the rug gets swept out from under Jocketty? I doubt it. I honestly think people will be saying the same things about Junior Spivey that they've said about Womack and Grudzielanek. Encarnacion should be close to Walker/Platoon. A healthy Bigbie/JRod/Taguchi should be obly slightly worse than last year's Sanders/JRod/Taguchi. Rolen this year should be better than Rolen/Nunez/Mabry last year. Reyes should be better than Morris. Marquis should be better. Suppan slightly worse. Same with Carp. Mulder the same. The Bullpen is the only thing I could see being significantly worse. And yes Cubs fans, it is true: The Cubs are improved. It's okay to believe. A healthy rotation, Pierre, and better pen should = 90-100 wins. The rotation being the biggest question mark. Then again, Dusty Baker does manage this team, so you very easily be under .500 with injuries and clubhouse drama. It must be extremely frustrating to have such a potentially good and bad season as a Cubs fan.
  9. wolf stansson
    That's the way it should be of course, but I could see Pujols' star power changing that.
  10. wolf stansson
    Not trying to be confrontational because for all I know you watch everyone game, but do you really watch enough Cardinals baseball to definitively make that statement? He was moved to the OF because we got Scott Rolen. He was moved to first because he isn't very fast and there is less chance of injury. Everything I've heard (which is a lot) is that the move was made to maximize his career by lessening his chance for injury. In his last year in the OF he strained his bicep and they didn't want him throwing. He has also been playing with chronic plantar fascititus (sp?) in his feet. Running aggravates that. Where do you not have to run? 1st base. I put as much stock in the sports media's (espn, announcers, etc) "expert" opinions as any semi intelligent person should which is next to none. Having said that it's worth mentioning that a lot of people rave about his transition to first, his surprising athleticism, and the fact that he someday will win the most worthless award in baseball at first base.

    It's true but not because of this post. for other things.
  12. wolf stansson
    This just in... there are two MVPujols' in the league. And we're full. Let the suggestions ensue.
  13. wolf stansson
    Someone didn't do to well on the analogies portion of standardized tests. Is that referring to your disagreement with Cards fan is to awesome as Cubs fan is to... or is the date of some significance? I have no idea if the date is significant. In that case, it is you sir who struggle with analogies.

    June 15 1963... are you among the Cub's fans? Or are you awesome like me?
  16. wolf stansson
    all your suggestions will be duly noted and will be acted upon as I see fit. The unidentified is the june 1963 team.
  17. wolf stansson
    so far 12 teams, 6 cardinals fans, 5 cubs, and one as of yet unidentified.
  18. wolf stansson
    Live draft, non-keeper, and pretty standard rosters and scoring. Roster: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL I added a few bench spots because with this many people it'll help those who drafted well in the late rounds. Categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, IP, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP I added IP.
  19. wolf stansson
    Over there he goes by UncleBuck44. He's one I'm saving a spot for.
  20. wolf stansson
    I'll probably have to reduce it to 9/9 or 8/8. I just have it this big in case I get that many people.
  21. wolf stansson
    I have it 10/10 for now. I PM'ed everyone who wants in so far with the info.
  22. wolf stansson
    depends on how many are interested in. right now i have it set for 6/6.
  23. wolf stansson
    Always go best available player unless you have a huge need.
  24. wolf stansson

  25. wolf stansson
