It's basically rebranded Hardees. So yes. Not "basically." It is Hardees. Exactly the same. There's a Hardees in my town. It's the most disgusting food I've ever put in my mouth. I haven't eaten there in years, and the only reason I used to eat there sometimes was because it was across the street from my old job and I'd run over there on my lunch hour. Actually, Hardee's is a rebranded Carl's Jr. :)
Carpenter is coming back from TJ, right? Pitchers who come back from TJ are rarely more than average their first year back. They only get back to old form in the second season.
This probably favors Maddux. I really don't want to face him in a park like this. We can't hit HRs off him easily, and he won't walk us. Let's hope for some BABIP magic.
Cardinals. Sorry, but a lot of my best friends and family are Cardinal fans, so if I can't be happy I don't mind if they are. Obviously, I'd prefer to be happy for my own team. The Red Sox right now just because I like really good teams.
