Man, talk about getting a statistical smackdown :lol: Remind me *never* to play baseball trivia with you guys :wink:

Predictions for division winners/wild card anyone? *g*
 
its gonna be a loooooong season for the cardinals this year

at least i have my nlcs/ws dvds i can watch :love:
 
Man, the Cards got destroyed by the Mets. They can't afford to start the season like this. Not with a division that's got the Astros and the newlook Cubbies.
 
A rotation that inludes Braden "don't call me Brandon or Bronson" Looper and your former closer Wainwright can't inspire too much confidence. Couple that with Carpenter's injury and you've got a recipe for disaster.
Time will tell.
 
actually the bullpen and offense worries me more than the rotation
 
meh this is a transition year for the Cardinals, they get a bit of a pass since they wonthe WS last year, but they better retool next offseason.vvtheir outfield maybe be the worst in the NL, and they really have no go to guys in the bullpen.

i used to be worried about the rotation, but it actually should be decent. looper will be fine as a 5th starter, he pitched well last night until he got tired at the end.

i hate to say it but i think the cubs have the best shot at the central, them or the brewers :huh:
 
looper will be an okay starter till around may, when his arm gives out.

you can't expect a guy who's been a 1 inning relieft pitcher his entire career to go an entire season as a starter without developing some sort of arm/shoulder problem.

he pitched well last night for a few innings... but the more the innings went on, the harder the mets were hitting the ball. even in the third inning they had a few hard hits, they were just hit at someone. eventually they broke through when beltran went yard.
 
Royals or not, I watched Dice K from work and he looked pretty sharp. Good movement on his fastball, and good command. Nice breaking ball, and he threw strikes. I already fucking hate him.
 
Both local papers have "Dice-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K" on the front page this morning.
The hype is a bit much.
Of course I'm quite pleased he is on the Red Sox, and doubly pleased he pitches for my IFL fantasy team.
 
The bottom line is that his ability to change between 7 pitches makes him very difficult to hit, and he's going to be one of the best this season barring injury.

Meanwhile, in Philadelphia ... :banghead:

I'm putting Ryan Madson On Notice.

Perhaps the Boss shouldn't have invested $16 mil a year in Andy Pettitte and made a more aggressive run at Matsuzaka.

Today to fill up space in the scoreboard page in the Herald the has a column with the 75 top 2007 salaries...
1. Arod $27,708,525
2. Steroid Giambi $23,428,571
3. Boot 2 Jeets $21,600,000
4. Money Ramirez $17,016,381
5. Fraud Helton $16,600,000
6t. Bartolo Colonoscopy: $16,000,000
6t. Andy Pettitte: $16,000,000

Now I think Pettitte was a very good pitcher in his hey day, but the 6th highest salary this year in MLB??

If only Seinfeld were still on so Frank Costanza could confront Steinbrenner about this.

(Of course Pettitte is probably not the worst of the group, Richie Sexson the #12 overall salary at $15,500,000??? sweet jeebus)
 
good to see jay buhner back on the field for the M's...

At least the Pettitte deal is for one year. The real killer is when teams give tons of $$$ to unworthy players and it's over multiple years. Like Carlos Lee. Or Suppan. Or Marquis. Or Giambi, who is useless in the field and cannot run. The Yankees have 3 1B on their roster because of him. Eh.

Bartolo Colonoscopy was actually coined by U2Kitten and her brother before Bartolo Colon was even born, because they are direct descendants of both Chris Berman and Nostradamus, that pair.
