Just last year, the Cards were absolutely stunning; they had massive injuries, yet Ludwick appeared out of nowhere, Pujols went from great to spectacular, and even freaking <i>Wellermeyer</i> kicked ass. I mean, WTF? They contended all year.
That kind of stuff, plus a natural regression to the mean for a team that suddenly explodes with, say, a 97-win season, is what keeps me on edge.
I'm glad that Lou also feels this way. You can tell that he's not the type to take 'er easy and expect a '08 repeat to automatically happen.
Go Lou! Kick some millionaire ass!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
didn't the cardinals come in 4th place?
