So are there concerns among the Cardinals fans about the Flubs? Lots of off-season moves. The Flubs have a relatively new GM in Epstein (who has had success in the past), a new manager in Maddon (who has had success in the past), a new #1 ace pitcher in Lester (who has had success in the past), and have added multiple free agents this off season. I think they will be better. But will they be good enough to compete in the Central or will the curse continue and they will be the same old Bad News Bears?

Here's my take: The Cardinals go into the 2015 Season with a relatively set roster. Only a few pitching decisions to be made. On paper, they are at least as good as last year and that got them to the NLCS. Hard to imagine they won't compete for the Division tile. I think they'll win it again.
As for the Cubs... If you play baseball for 100+ years without winning a title or even going to the World Series, nobody should take you seriously until you start winning. Let's revisit this in July or August. If they're in the race, we can discuss them. Until then, they are the Cubs ... a lot of talk and hope. Do I think they will be better, yes. Will they be good enough to compete for the Division title, I doubt it.

Are you saying the Flubs motto is "Hope and Change"? Hmm sounds familiar... LOL
