Made it to April 20th. That's about 15 days longer than I ever would have expected.

you take the good you take the bad you take em both and there you have....


the 2008 st. louis cardinals..

The 3-0 shutout made me take notice. When I watched yesterday's score climb I figured the elevator was likely starting on it's way down.

Especially every day that the Cubs are in first.

We still have Wainwright, Wellemeyer, and Lohse going strong. Pinero will keep improving and Mulder will hit the rotation within the coming weeks. We're not out of this at all.

There's going to be a lot of games where we're slugging like crazy, I think. I'm not worried about the offense. The 8-2 result worries me more than the 3-0.

Meh.

It's April 20th, around 1p as I post this. Only Cub fans are worried about first place in April.''

It's not worth being concerned about falling out of first until well after Labor Day.

Actually, it's less about first place for me than it is waiting for the beginning of the downturn that's taking this team to it's widely anticipated level of mediocrity. Much as I'd like to follow my own philosophy of enjoying each game for that game's sake and just going with the flow of the season, you can only read/hear/see so many predictions about where STL is going to finish before that starts to color your thinking.
