2nd half of baseball.

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

mark my words. st. louis, while they might make the playoffs, will not be in the world series. if anything, houston could pick up a few bats and be there. and they are the one NL team i dont wanna see with the big 3 there. any of the 3 can walk onto any team in the majors and be a number one.

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

in the end though, i will be happy if the yanks make it. i dont expect it with them missing 3 monsters in the lineup (hideki, gary and robinson). all guys who hit 330 and get rbi's. also the outfeilders would normally have 250-300 RBI's and probably 60-70 homeruns. combined

i said nothing about the world series, just updating my list, why do you always have to rain on someone elses parade?

Fair enough.

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

It's just so obvious that Albert Pujols is easily the best player in baseball Jenks, and you're 100% spot on with your sports takes, as usual.

Right on Sean.

This truce is working out nicely.

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

Cards are starting to get their shit together again, finally. That was an ugly skid, though. Pujols appears to be getting back to form, too.

It'll be tough for us to really do much in the playoffs, though, without adding some talent in the next couple of weeks. I've heard rumors that they (along with a bunch of other folks) are looking at Abreau or Soriano. That would help, but I'm not convinced this is their year. Personally, I think we're going to be hindered as long as Izzy's our closer -- you can't get away with allowing that many baserunners when you're trying to close out a playoff game...

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

I can't stand izzy. I've hated that guy for years. It's like he doesn't start pitching until the bases are loaded.

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

The Braves are toast. An amazing run but no way they catch the Mets and no way they're better than the Astros, Reds or Milwaukee...

I may have to print these words out and then eat them.......

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

there's no way they're taking the division, but they could contend for a wild card the way they're playing.

Re: 2nd half of baseball.

i think the braves have much more of a shot than the astros do at post season, which is tough to admit. i think they are much better than the brewers too. not sure about cincinatti though... they are pretty good as long as kgj stays healthy. the reds might even give ol' jenksy's team something to worry about.

for the braves, i mentioned earlier about moving chipper to the outfield to make room for betemit... chipper is fielding really well right now, so scratch that. he's also knocking the cover off the ball lately. i still say they need to make room for betemit in their regular line-up though.
