I'm not sure that would be THAT much of a surprise--the Cards have been the best team in the NL for a few years now, winnning 100+ in consecutive seasons. \n\nStill, I don't project them to win 100 this year. They have questions in the lineup (2B, LF) and I think their bullpen got worse. Pujols is the best hitter in baseball, but Rolen's and Edmonds' health are in question. Middle infield defense is average at best.\n\nI think they'll win the division, but with something closer to around 90 wins.

Yeah Arizona won.  The slappers were potent and AH really did well on getting herself out of jams.  Tough luck for Northwestern, but Arizona was plain out the better team.

Not yet.  The problem is that there really is nobody to put up good competition in the Central this year.  I thought it was going to be pretty tough this year with the Astros and the Cubs' lineups, then Cincinnati and Milwaukee started playing well too.  But the Cards are on a 7 game losing streak and are still in first place by 1.5 games.  They have a tough game tonight, but I think they'll pull this one out, then they have one more against the Indians, a day off, then 3 game sets against Kansas City and Atlanta before closing the first half with a 4 game series against the Astros.  They're still looking at 50+ wins in the first half, with 76 to go in the second half.

Not very good.\n\nThe pitching staff is very nice w/ Clemens, Oswalt & Petitte.  The offense is 2 guys (Berkman & Ensberg).  They do not have enough offensive firepower to make a run this year.

What about them? They are in the pathetic Western division, they should do well.

25 on the big league club.  Triple a memphis has a full squad.  Double A springfield is full.  Single A and rookie leagues in palmbeach and Johnson City.  And an entire nation of cardinal fans.  And the cubs suck too.  Their fans are rude, loud mouthed, whiny, cry-baby,old style drinkin, hoosiers that are as big a losers as the cub organization. 98 years of sucking it up, good job cubs, thanks for Lou Brock.

It's too early to tell, but the AZ cardinals are ahead in the running.  The most important person to replace will be the coach.

Uncalled for.  Very unprofessional.  Clearly very jealous of Ryan Howard.  Acting like a baby.  He needs to grow up.  Hell, the Phillies had a better record than the Cardinals in 2006!!

THE CARDINALS ARE THE BEST NL TEAM IN THE HISTORY OF BASEBALL.  As for this year, they will win 100 games and take the division.  Cinncinatti will cool off, and the cubs will choke like they always do.  The Cards will win the N.L. central, but who knows what will happen in the playoffs with Tony LaRussa as the coach.  MVP=Pujols CY Young=Carpenter  Pitching Sliver Slugger, Marquis, Gold Gloves C Molina, 3b Rolen, CF Edmonds, SS Eckstein.

Cardinals...no reason why, why try to justify an opinion based question?\n\nAs of May 10, the Cardinals are tied for 1st place and ahead of the Astros by 2 games...need I say more?

The Phillies will likely be worse as they have severely downgraded at closer and traded pitcher Padilla away. Their offense will take a hit as Rowand will be worse than Michaels/Lofton, although he has a better glove. Also, Bell/Nunez and Lieberthal/Fasano will fall even further below being average producers for their position. The Mets will be much improved, and the Braves will probably drop 5 games in the standings

Yep.  All NY sports fans are cocky.  And all NY teams suck (except the stoopid Yankees).\n\nGo Devils!

Arizona is in danger of breaking that streak this year.  theyre currently 16-10, 9-6 in Pac-10.  I think they'll still make it, especially with an RPI rating around 20, but they wont be their typical 2 or 3 seed.  i wouldnt be surprised to see them get a 10-11 seed if they make it.
