Fork the Cubs. Quit drinking the Kool-Aid from ESPN. The Cards are just as hot as any team in baseball. The last 2-3 weeks have been good. Chicago is flat right now. Cards need to get better defensively, without a doubt. Sierra is going to be a good player when they decide to promote him full time. As long as we have a couple players staying hot with the bat, and it seems to switch every week or so, we will be fine. Right now, that's Wong and Phambino. Wong can be a head case in the field as long as he goes 2-3 or 3-4 on the night.

Carp and Diaz are starting to get into their form........and Gyorko needs to be in the lineup nightly. Johnny P can just ride the pine with Adams. The problem is Mathemy will over think chit and sit the hot guys, thinking he can mix it up, and create more magic.

Perhaps we could get Oquendo to trade in his suit for a uniform until the AS break. That might help out our defense.
