the cardinals series against the padres is nothing .. they don't have the bats to destroy the cardinals rotation ..
however, the big test for the cardinals comes in game 3 and possibly game 4 .. how deep is the cardinals rotation ?? matt morris in game 3, and then after that, other starters are marquis and suppan .. not bad, but can they handle the braves / astros ???
braves handled their beating of game 1 well .. i see astros/braves going 5 .. |

| The Padres lineup really isn't that bad. It only seems that way because they play in the most extreme pitchers park in all of baseball. |

i don't think it's a bad lineup ..
then again, it's not a great lineup ... get these lines ..
team leaders
home run - klesko (18)
hits - brian giles (164) ; and 5 other hitters over 100+ hits .. however, all 5 are below 120 hits ..
runs scored - giles (95); dave roberts (65); klesko (61)
total bases - giles (263); greene(188); klesko (185)
batting average (regular starter) : giles (301); hernandez(290); lloreta (285); roberts(275)
these stats exclude xavier nady, who could have had better stats if the padres decided to play him more during the final stretches of the season, since he had a good april .
now i know that the padres had to go through a series of players with injuries and everything, but looking at these stats, and you wonder how the padres got into the playoffs .. ???
but these stats can't match up with the cardinals pitching ... |

It's a decent lineup but it's not the Cardinals lineup...
Any lineup with Poo Holes in it is imposing! |

pssh .. yeah yeah poo holes is a leading candidate for mvp this year ...
but "da man" of the cardinals is clearly david eckstein .. :p .. who remembers that grand slam in the bottom of the 9th that he pulled out ?? he's a small guy, but has a big bat .. :toothless |

I don't like Eckstein, he annoys me. I don't like small little pests. |

You are quite right, after our two aces our pitching is mediocre at best. Bur the fact remains that the Czrds defense and offemse is quite simply immense, with Carp and Mulder this relates to almost automatic victories, with the rest it is not so assured. Marquis has been ok this year and Suppan has been a shodow of last years efforts. Morris has been improved this year but far from the ace he was brought over to be. So after our two aces our starting pitching is lacking slightly, but add awesome defense and outstanting offense and anything is possible! I think we have the Astro's number (if you believe the rumours about the last series of the season, and I do) and I believe we can beat the Braves with home field advantage. And now that the Red Sox are out I don't think any of the AL contendors can clobber us off the field! I think its looking good for us providing we finish off the Padres quickly! |
