Looks like it's going to be an interesting start to the season.

Relax,......its spring training. These games matter if you are from th west side and count them in overall wins on the season
Plenty of teams are struggling this spring. Royals.....you know the new money Dynasty team, is 13-18. The Pirates have won fewer games than STL. The Flubs, the darlings to win the WS this year by the experts, are also 8-17 this spring. Lackey is 0-3 with an 6.50+ ERA & Heyward isn't batting Pete Kozma's weight. The experts say those two are superstar and the greatest players STL had. One would think the Flubs would have more wins if spring season meant anything

With Moss and Adams healthy....why even risk the dumb OK country boy at 1st. Just another way for him to get hurt going after a ball he couldn't get to in the first place.

It is shaping up to be an odd opening day roster. If things go as they appear, they'll have 6 outfielders and just one back-up for infield. WTF is that? The only thing that makes sense is they plan on playing Holiday and/or Moss at first more than people are thinking. Even at that, you still are going to have a glut of outfielders and a shortage at the infield positions, other than first base. I guess we'll see how it all washes out.
Pitching looks good. I'd say the starting 5 are as good as any rotation in MLB and better than most. Let's hope they all stay healthy (not likely). You would think the biggest worries would be the older guys that have a history of injury like Wainwright and Garcia but I am far more worried about Wacha's shoulder and Martinez with his issues at the end of last year. I guess we'll know soon enough...
Looking forward to Sunday's opener against the Pirates. Of course with the forecast of 70, I may have to watch it on DVR. A golf course will be calling my name...

Hell, you don't have to wait until Sunday...I drove by a golf course this morning that was calling your name. I wasn't sure I actually heard it say "Andy" so I stopped and listened...sure enough, I heard this:
"Andy!! Andy!! You don't know chit about hockey!"

Packing a 14-15 handicap, that would not be difficult...

Who was that guy?

Cards are 1-5 against good teams and have beaten up on the doormats. Sure hope they are better than I think they are.

The season is 9% completed. Still have about 91% of the games to play. Cards have a lot to figure out with 6 outfielders and more bats that line-up spots. They may not be able to beat the Cubs for the Division title but they'll be just fine.

Is this when the Bandwagon folks start to climb off, or do they wait until they have actually played into May?? Just curious as to what to do. The westsiders seems to know more about the bandwagon deal than I do.

bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.............ain't that the truth.
I don't pay attention until the last blue puck has dropped. I'm hoping that's later than usual this year.

I think Leeo has worn out Royals gear....not sure. Don't talk to him. I'm talking about several people. If the shoe fits, lace that biatch up and wear it until the wheels fall off the bandwagon.

As far as the Cardinals or Royals getting more wins on the season......The Birds on the Bats lead ALL of MLB in HR's, slugging, runs, RBI's, OPS & Triples.....and are in the top 3 in doubles, hits, batting average The Royals are in the Top 10 in Triples and average If those stats hold true or stay on pace, I'd say the Cardinals will be just fine. Pitching the Royals have a slight edge in Team ERA and K's, with the Cardinals having fewer walks and more quality starts.
Its early, but the Cards seem to be feast or famine at the plate. The rooks are keeping the BA up there, because the old dudes are slacking.

No need to discuss anything until June. A complete wasted of time before then. Besides, there is hockey to watch now...

I got a kick out of this.. Lackey will fold up like a cheap chair and implode before this year is over.. He ain't got the stuff he used to have and it will show late in the year, especially with all the pressure that comes with playing for a perennial loser..
Forkin mouth breather..
http://espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/story/_/i...iego-padres-win
Quote:
CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs pitcher John Lackey was apparently upset with the way San Diego Padres catcher Christian Bethancourt reacted after hitting a home run in the Padres' 1-0 win over the Cubs on Wednesday night.
"How many home runs does he have?" Lackey asked sarcastically after the game.
Wednesday was Bethancourt's third of the season, and it was a monster blast to left that landed on the street outside Wrigley Field. Bethancourt watched it for a moment before rounding the bases.
"I got a long memory," said Lackey (4-2), who took the loss after going eight innings and allowing a run on three hits, with no walks and seven strikeouts.
Bethancourt and Lackey don't have a history; this was the first meeting between hitter and pitcher, which Lackey was well aware of.
"Oh, I know," Lackey said. "He'll learn."
Bethancourt's homer was the lone run of the game, giving the Padres a doubleheader sweep and the Cubs their first two-game losing streak of the season.
