5-1 Post "Game" Thread: Optimists Tread Lightly

If you had told me before the season that Carpenter was going to give us one injury start in April, 10-15 would sound about right.

Add to that Pujols batting .250 at this point, 7-18 would sound about right.

I'm amazed they have won 10 games at this point.

I think a lot of us would have sold our soul to the devil, and had them go 0-162 this season, for a title last year.... especially with all the shortcoming in the playoffs of 00-05.

Can they turn it around this year? Sure, with my Cardinal Red Rose colored glasses on, I think the Brewers will falter and the Cards will take control by July. I don't want to take those glasses off yet.

Can anyone guess which game is that?

I'm guessing Pittsburgh. But I think AJ isn't AJ, or wasn't, or isn't. Or something.

According to Jayson Stark, odds are against the Cards after a bad April. Cubs, Stros and Yanks too.

They need to get untracked - PRONTO! They don't have the type of team that can come back from a large deficit, they need to keep things manageable until the AS break, and hopefully make a deal or two to improve the team. I'm not even close to throwing in the towel, but they need to make something happen soon.

I am very much looking forward to seeing if Reyes can build on what I considered an improvement over the past 1 1/2 games.

BTW - speaking of odds, BP has the Cards right now with a 4% chance of winning the division and a 3% chance at a WC.

Their teammate died four days ago. They're not turning this around in the immediate future.
