Cards finish with 90 wins and 1st wild card
Weaver wins 16
Leone leads team in saves
Fowler and Wong DL early and often
Matheny MGR of the year
I'm this positive for 2 weeks before I start crying about how bad they are and Yadi shouldn't be hitting 5th

 

[Neutron Monster]

86-76. really on the playoff border

Martinez steps it up
Mo actually makes a trade to take on payroll at one point
Paul DeJong strikes out a zillion times

 

[Eagles_Ball]

1. Regular season final record...
78-84
2. Finish in the division...
3rd, in a bad division
3. Surprises?

• Mikolas goes back to Japan at ASB
• Wong hits .130 vs lefties
• Martinez doesn't get enough ABs
• Leone/Lyons/??? lead the league in BS
• Waino gets the ball every 5th day even though he couldn't retire me, Duck, oldround, vb, 3R, or Neuty on the reg.
• Matheny makes so many perplexing moves, Oquendo and Maddux secede from the club.

Oops...you said surprises. My bad.

Just remember SO's mean nothing if he hits 25 or 30 HR's.

I do predict Carp will take a million pitches, boring me to death and he will get pissed every time he takes a called third strike like he was just robbed at gun point.

I predict that Wong will get his 8 inch lead off first will still repeatedly almost get picked off.

By mid-season they will be wheeling Yadi out in a wheel chair behind homeplate and Mo will give him another 3 year extension.

Matheny will set an MLB record with 1235 consecutive games without making a creative in-game move to steal a victory.

Ozuna will have his career high in bases on balls.

Somewhere in MLB a rookie will hit his first major league homerun and his team will prank him and not greet him in the dugout and the pranksters will think its hilarious and unique.

Armed with a 6.20 ERA Waino will just be a wonderful leader between starts as he yuks it up on the bench.

Mo will be satisfied with us being only 4 games out of the second wildcard for 5 minutes on August 7th reminiscent of W Bush's Mission Accomplished assembly as the BFIB brace for another Cubs playoff run.

It will be torture. Life will suck. And I will be here to report on it.

John Lucas probably one of their best pitchers this spring will be picked up off waivers this week as Bud Norris gets rocked, but hey we want to put the best team we can on the field.

Whats truly sad is when mlb has a poster of 10 of the best in baseball and no Cardinal is even close to being on it.

We could of signed Mad Max does that count

We could have had him at a discount.
But Mike Mayers had a great spring and has made the roster so that makes up for the loss of Max. We have Mayers under "club control".

I read that! I wonder how many ounces you get? Probably a shot

Only until the first pitch

Trying to get you in the door from BPV or wherever else. Still, for me, that's an incentive to be there 20 mins early to get a cold one

Gonna need all the cheap beer we can get if the Birds first 2 games are any indication to what we have to look forward to.
