Yup, that's right. It all starts tonight. Screw that b**** Kerry Wood. 19 games left this month, we will win 13 of them. We will be less than 5 games out of first place by July 1 with 7 games against the Reds (among a pretty easy schedule) in July. This is how it must, and will, be.
Hey, I need something to keep my interest until August 31. Blind hope and I get along nicely thank you very much.
Seriously -- make up 1 game every 10 days and we win our division. Doesn't *seem* to be too unreasonable. That is, if our hitters actually hit the ball and our pitchers actually get people out and our defense actually runs down balls.
For all practical purposes, this division is STL's to lose. Their staff is better. Their bullpen is better. Their lineup is better. What else can be said? I'll be happy if we finish above .500.
Yeah, damn those pesky fundamentals. I guess one good thing about this season is that we get to say "when does football season start" Instead of the usual "when does basketball season start"
Wouldn't that have been nice to see? A little fire in this team is surely missing. At least Biggio was screaming at Wood, I guess we can take something from that.
