What are they doing any differently than they have ever done? Lilly getting off to a bad start this year...that is a shocker!! Oh wait, he did the exact same thing last year. Zambrano has been somewhat erratic...color me shocked! Harden is pitching pretty damn good, again, a shocker. Dempster and Marshall have been serviceable.

However, I can totally see how you are able to make assumptions and potential doomsday projections based on 18 games of the season. Might as well just give the division to the Cards now because they are obviously the best team in the division for the year because they are in the lead.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't believe I've said anywhere in this thread that the Cards (or any team -- including the Cubs) are a lock to win the division.

I really do try not to over-evaluate what I'm seeing in April. I try and wait until Memorial Day before I really get a sense of the team. But, so far, I'm not liking it...and I've already seen enough to know that getting to October isn't going to be the cake walk that a lot of people seem to think it's going to be.
