Will the AZ cardinals do good this year?

I thought I would never say this but I'm going to be a Cardinals fan next year.  Of course they will do good.  They were and explosive offensive team this year.  They built on that during this off season.  They will still be a little shaky on defense but they will be fun to watch when they have the ball.  I look for Matt to be rookie of the year and for James to rush for 1000+ yards again making this one of the defensive coordinators worst nightmares come this fall and winter.

Good enough to contend, they'll win their division, a game or two in the playoffs- but I don't think they will win it all unfortunately

ASU has a good team?  Don't make me laugh!\n\nAs for the 'Cats, look for them to compete for a PAC-10 title within the next three years....

Yep, but I think they'll win it all next year. What's the difference this year? Pitching and Jim Leyland.\nLook at their starting pitching: Rogers, Bonderman, Verlander, Robinson, and Maroth, who is injured.\nAdd to that Joel Zumaya (Hope I spelled his name right) who is on the rise and another waiting down on the farm--Humberto Sanchez and it's all good.\nMagglio's hitting and Pudge is coming alive. Shelton's breaking out of his slumb. Placido sets the table. Inge is gutsy and Granderson's having a great year.\nThere ya go.

I hope so. They started out 0-9 last year but then pulled it together and actually won home court advantage for the first round. Maybe they can come back from their slow start and make the playoffs again. If Tyson Chandler can keep playing the way he has the last few games they got a good shot.

they're starting to act link the Cardinals...have a great first half and end up blowing it\n\nBut they'll realize their mistakes....

they should do okay, probably perform better as a whole than last years did.  Each guy will fit some of the roles the Cubs needed to fill, last year they depended too much on the homerun

I think they will have a tough season.  They just dont seem to bring in the talent after that stripper madness.  They will be ok but not contenders.

I believe they have a very good chance. They were dominating the first part of the season with some excellent pitching and offense and defense. And don't worry, everybody has a slump, they bounce right back and get into the flow of things. So, yes, I believe they will make it int othe playoffs.

They have a shot at the Wild Card, but it will not come so easily with the ChiSox and the Tribe in their division.\n\nI don't really think they'll make it, but I will not be surprised if they do because they have the pitching staff; it's just the offense they have that concerns me about them.

Cardinals great hitting\nWhite Sox they won last year, the cubs might never win\nIndians they are more likely\nMarlins the have Dontrel Willis\nOrioles by defult\nYankees a team that has a better chance then any of the others win it this year. The mets can not win that division.

However long it takes them to decide on a starting QB, or however long it takes Matt Leinart to get comfortable with the offense. They are going to be explosive with Fitzgerald, Boldin, James, and also rookie TE Leonard Pope. Rookie OG Lutui will add stability to the O-line. The Cardinals allowed the 8th least amount of yards last season, and they are looking to improve that with the acquisitions of 2 DT's and 1 LB. If they choose to go with Warner, and he performs like he used to in his glory days with the Rams, they will be Super Bowl contenders this coming season!

Not this year\n\nLee and Ramirez will have good years, but who else in the lineup is productive?\n\nWood and Prior are hurt, Zambrano is the only legit pitcher on the staff, they have no closer, and Maddux is starting to lose it\n\nThey won't beat the Cardinals, but they may challenge for hte Wild Card if Wood and Prior come back healthy\n\nHowever: Compared to other lineups in the AL and the NL, the Cubs don't scare me

I'm not sure what they are thinking.  If Sexson has as good or better year than last year and if Beltre gets hot along with Ibanez and Ichiro doing well, they should have a solid hitting team.  Pitching has improved since last year with Appier joining and Fernandez should shine.  They should be very competitive.  It is a tough division and it's a long season.  We'll have to see how good these phophets are with their predition wouldn't we?

Arizona is an improving team. With Edgerrin James at RB and Larry Fitzgerald (GO PITT!) at WR, they are going to be a pretty good team. I would say that they had a chance at making the playoffs next year if it weren't for the fact that they don't have a good QB. If they get a good QB from free agency, then they have a shot at the playoffs, but the Super Bowl is a long Way away. They might make it in the next 10 years, if they continue to improve at the rate that they are now. And, by the way, its Super Bowl, not Super Powl

Yes. They are performing above expectations. They have a tissue soft schedule the rest of the way. However they will only be 6th seed. They won't go far in the postseason either. Now if they were in the N.F.C. though?.

No they have the St. Louis Cardinals in the division even without pujols. Derrek Lee and Mark Prior are great additions but the Cubs won't have a chance this year.
