The Cards' bullpen was responsible for a whole lot of blown saves last season. If TLR figures that out and if Carpenter can make 20 starts (I know -- big if), then they're also better.
Of course, in your guys' minds, all of the bad stuff we've seen from the Cubs so far is temporary -- as is all of the good stuff we've seen from our NL Central rivals.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The Reds are still are a year or 2 away with their young talent to compete for the division. I'm not even going to take your stance on the Pirates seriously. Milwaukee isn't going to come close to competing with us, Although the Astros could be decent, I'm not really worried about them at all.
The Cardinals have a TERRIBLE bullpen. Fucking terrible. LaRussa can't figure something out if he doesn't have pitchers that can pitch. Carpenter is out until I believe June so there's that. If he makes 20 starts then fine, but I'm not really worried about Loshe, Wainwright or Wellemeyer.
Dude you seriously need to calm down. It's 18 games and we're 9-9. We still have the wild card.
