HAHAHAHA astros sweep the scrubbies.
Milwaukee 60 55 .522
Chicago 58 55 .513
St. Louis 52 59 .468
Houston 51 63 .447
Cincinnati 49 64 .434
Pittsburgh 45 64 .413
well looky whos only 4 back in the loss column with two games more to play than chicago and 4 more to play than milwaukee.
the cardinals are mediocre, but they are scrappers
HAHAHAHA astros sweep the scrubbies.
i'll reiterate what i said before in this thread - i still think 86 wins could take the central.
The Brewers fate will be in the hands of Chris Capuano and Dave Bush. These two have had less than stellar years but if they can finish strong, the Brewers have a shot. Bush and Capuano are capable of stepping it up. But Losing Ben Sheets really hurts their chances.
Offensively, they are stacked.
What was that Cubbie fan?
just rename the Cards the "Smoke and Mirrors". 83 wins in 2006 = le. Outscored by 100 runs this season = .500. One thing is for sure, the NL Central is pathetic...again.
Yeah that pathetic Central division
the Nation league rep for the last 3 world series, and last year's world champs.
Just horrible....
BTW, its not smoke and mirrors, its called, key hitters, FINALLY starting to get healthy and get in their groove.
Rolen 4-5
Edmonds 2-5 with a homer.
oooooo yeah
What are you talking about? Before last night Rolen had only 6 hits in his last 33 ab's.Yeah that pathetic Central division
BTW, its not smoke and mirrors, its called, key hitters, FINALLY starting to get healthy and get in their groove.
Rolen 4-5
Edmonds 2-5 with a homer.
oooooo yeah
Edmonds has been on fire though
That was Jimmy's 1st homer since 6 June.
Bats are warming up; scrubbies and Brewers are cooling off; Pineiro looks like we might have finally found the latest Duncan pitching project; Mulder is starting Class A rehab; we are getting healthy; Kip Wells has been throwing great.
Aside from last year, if you look back historically the Cards have been the best team in baseball after the All Star break dating back to 2000. I am exited about baseball for the 1st time since April.
nice...but completely irrelevant to the quality of play in the division THIS (2007!!!!!) year.
That said...anything can happen in the playoffs. When Jeff Weaver can become a lights out postseason pitcher - ANYTHING can happen in the playoffs.
But there's not one team in the entire NL that could even make the playoffs out of the AL East over a 162 game schedule.

Actually, when you make the statement:
it means YOU are looking at other years, therefore his statement is completely relevant.
haha thanks capt.
Cardinals Sweep the Brewers
7 shutout innings from Adam Wainwright, 8 strikeouts.
Your watching the maturation of a superstar in Wainy.
Molina gets 2 homers today.
2 and a half out. 1 loss back in the loss column to both Chicago and Milwaukee.
The Cardiac Cardinals strike again
Big deal.But there's not one team in the entire NL that could even make the playoffs out of the AL East over a 162 game schedule.
Rolen has been hitting very well for the month of July and now August.What are you talking about? Before last night Rolen had only 6 hits in his last 33 ab's
Edmonds in his past 10 games prior to today was hitting 425.
Guys like Ludwick, Ankiel, Ryan, from AAA have been a HUGE boost.
The starting pitching also from Piniero, Wainwright, Wells, Reyes, and Looper is solid to great.
Mulder is on his way back and says hes felt the best he has in 3 years.
3 years ago he had the lowest ERA of any pitcher at the all star break
When 83 wins gets a team a division, that division is pathetic. Yes, I know the Cards got hot and won the series, but that doesn't dismiss that the division was pathetic over the long haul last year.
In both 2004 & 2005, I thought the Cards were the best team in baseball, they just ran into a team playing better in the playoffs. But the division has been pathetic in a year before this.
Yaddi! Yaddi! Yaddi!
Of course.When 83 wins gets a team a division, that division is pathetic. Yes, I know the Cards got hot and won the series, but that doesn't dismiss that the division was pathetic over the long haul last year.
Divisions World Champions come out of are always horrible.
That southwest division in the NBA must be pathetic.
Anything can happen in the playoffs, that's why teams strive just to get there.
But 83 wins, despite playing an unbalanced schedule against a division that had 4 of its 6 teams below .500 and 3 teams losing at least 87 games, isn't exactly setting the world on fire.
And before you try to say that they beat up on each other - the 2006 NL Central was 65 (65!!!) games BELOW .500 against the rest of MLB. The next worst was the AL East, at just 8 games below .500 in 2006.
The Cardinals came falling back to earth today at the Friendly Confines.
And to all of you guys out there with the division smack, who cares? No matter how strong the division, the top guy is guaranteed to make it to the postseason. And as has been shown, once you're in the playoffs, anything can and will happen.
So why does it matter that you came from a "weak division"? Boise State last year came from a weak conference. Same with Kansas and basketball...
crashing back to earth?
They lost one game 2-1.......
Leave it to Cub fan to blow their chode early.
It doesn't, never said it did. Just said that the division hasn't been very good the past couple years - not overly disputable.
When you win your previous 5 by 5 runs or more and the entire blogging and sports media online talks about the great comeback Cards... yeah... it's crashing back to earth when you only get 1 run and 4 hits.
You mean the crumbling dump held together by gum?
Yup, the crumbling dump held together by gum that has supported an average game attendance of over 40,000 this year.
?
Nothing?
Not suprising...
Wow, did you see that throw by Ankiel to nail Theriot? Amazing. La-zer.
Was so good it even amazed a 6-time Gold Glover: "It was a great play and unbelievable throw. I just saw something that maybe I hadn't seen before," Rolen said.
