The Cards continue to defy what EVERYONE says. I won't doubt them. Personally, I don't think the pitching is good enough to win in October. Although, the Marlins pitching wasen't exactly that good either. But they performed down the stretch. The Cards pitching is weak, and if the Cubs can get the wildcard, and the pitching is healthy, I don't think any team in the NL can beat them, except the Cards.
As a Cubs fan, I'n extremely dissapointed this year. Nomar at this rate won't be staying in Chicago. If they don't do it this year, it's going to be very tough next year. Dempster will eventually be a big boost to that bullpen, and why Guzman is STILL playing in the farm system, with the weak bullpen, I'll never understand. I don't expect Clement to be a Cub next year if they realistically plan on signing Nomar to a deal, and Guzman was amazing at the Cactus League games I saw this year in AZ. I expect he's called up next year. Mid 90's fast ball, and supposedly the best changeup in the system.
