Figured that if we had one thread to discuss Cardinals "stuff" it would be easier to find. What do you think? Good idea?

Personally, if we get Carp back I'd prefer Wainwright as a closer. That worked out for us rather well the last time. It would also have the benefit of not overusing him coming back from this finger issue.

that would work well. I'm sure Duncan is considering easing Wainwright in.... Just hope Perez gets his control by Sept.

I just keep thinking where we'd be right now if we had a decent closer. 21 blown saves.... fuck.

the debate from 356 last nite.... is that Izzy accross the way in bullpen. Please say it ain't so. All we could see (no bonoculars or radio), we were worried. I was sure it was Franklin . Thank God.

It would be decent but I don't see any team making the trade to get all of them. Most of the playoff contenders have a solid rotation at this point.

Pretty funny.

But what makes you think your cubbies aren't going to choke this year? Why is this year different?

Never said we won't. I'm pretty confident in at least making the playoffs but after that I have no expectations. Obviously as a homer I like our chances. The rotation is now one of the best in the league with the Harden trade and the offense has been producing well even without Soriano. If we can stay healthy I really like our chances but I've said many times before. I'm just excited for the pennant race to heat up. Nothing better than tight pennant races to pass the time until football season. Go Cubs Go!

See thats the difference between Cub fans and Cardinal fans after 100 years of futility. You expect the team to implode at some point. Or there is a likely chance it will happen.

As you can read here in this thread Cardinal fans will be very disappointed if we don't make the playoffs and a serious run at the WS in 2009 or 2010. We expect that.

I think we've known all along that Cardinals fans are arrogant and ignorant.

If aliens came to earth, they would assume two things:

1. That dogs ruled the planet, since humans walk behind them picking up their shit.

2. That the Cubs had won the last ten World Series, based on the arrogance of their fans.
