And also think they have a GREAT chance at winning the World Series. I know that I am not going out on a limb here, however I just do not see how someone else from the NL will win the pennant. Cardinals have the best hitting in the NL. The middle of their lineup is scary with Walker, Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen. Love Eckstein leading off. Also love the bats towards the end of the lineup, Grudzy and Sanders. They are great defensively. Starting pitching, although not dominant, has been very good this year. Moulder has been up and down, overall probably a little dissapointment. However, their top 3 of Carpenter, Morris, and Moulder stack up against any other team's top 3. One can argue Atlanta and Florida have a better top 3, however the Cards are better everywhere else. Their bullpen is above average. Very good closer in Izzy. I would take them at this point over any team in the AL as well. I am on them heavy to win the NL pennant and also on them, a little lighter, to win the World Series. Any reasons why I should be worried about these plays?
