Most of you know I'm a huge Houston Astros fan but let's face it, this is just NOT our year.... 
Now, you'd think I'd automatically not like the Cardinals BUT that is not the case with me at all, I've always had a great deal of respect for the Cardinals, their players, their organization and especially the manager Tony La Russa. I also have fond memories of Jose Oqueñdo (the third base coach) when he used to play for the Mets back in the 1980s. I was very happy when they won the World Series last year!
So the Cardinals have had a very tough year with injuries most notably their pitching ace Chris Carpenter being out for the year.
I've been trading PMs with golfgar (HUGE Cardinals fan ) lately as the Cardinals have crept closer and closer to the top of the NL Central. :thumbs: The Brewers got of to a fantastic start in April and ever since then have been playing .500 or sub .500 baseball and by default, the hapless Cubs backed into first place. We all know that won't last for long.... :whistling: I have to laugh every time I watch a Cubs or Brewers game with their lame announcers talking about how "great" their teams are this year, what a JOKE! :laugh: Hey, you're only THREE games over .500 so talking like you're a New York Yankees caliber team is laughable. :laugh: The Brewers do have some fairly impressive offense, Fielder and Braun come to mind right away and the pitching isn't too shabby but for some reason (errors, bad base running, etc.) the "Brew Crew" isn't winning they way they should or the way their dopey announcers think they are. The Cubs are well, they're the Cubs so that pretty much counts them out. :sign:
So as I told golfgar a month or two ago,
THE CARDINALS WILL WIN THE NL CENTRAL IN 2007.
Okay, how about it you Cubs and Brewers fans, whadda think? :laugh:
