"Turd Throw" and other stories from the rancid NLC.

So much for his Plus/Minus scale to predict things.

If April determined entire seasons, Dave Duncan would be one of the greatest catchers of all time.

Phil Rogers ranks the Satanic Fowl #7 in his first "Power Rankings" poll. He's all excited over their 5-1 start. What he doesn't mention is that it was done at home against the Rockies (2-1) and a sweep over the Nationals (and the back of their shitty rotation). Washington is god-awful, but they may be better than the SF Giants.

Man, you aren't kidding.  That Giants lineup is insanely bad.

[Slaky+]

Don't worry Phil, the Cards will have a sub 2 ERA the entire season.

I love that they have comments now in most of the MSM articles.

You know you suck when the typically unimaginitive mainstream commentors torch you like a rag soaked in kerosene.

Those comments also feature that Dan Serafini guy calling home runs "rally killers."

The ERA for the Cardinals is just over 2 or something. Last year, they had about a six-week stretch where their ERA was something like 3.40, it was no surprise that is when they almost took the division lead and had a certain somebody scared to almost-death. For the rest of the season, their pitching was terrible and it showed in their record. I hope the same thing happens this year. Their offense is pretty bad and will not be able to overcome even a mediocre pitching staff.

The Genius would trade his last several dozen bottles of wine for a mediocre pitching staff.

Add about .83 to that ERA, as they gave up 5 tonight (and lost).  One trip through the rotation is not significant.  I suspect that, given time, the Cardinals staff will be what we thought they would be.

Hawk,
I think someone's seen this too many times.

[Gil Gunderson]

Tell me that EZB is someone from this board?  His comments are way too trenchant to just be from a garden variety interwebs plebeian.

He'd trade his current staff for a case of Mad Dog 20/20.

Didn't realize Wild Irish Rose was "Savorin' Wine"
