The thing about St. Louis is that they have loads of young talent, from David Freese to Jamie Garcia to Jon Jay to Alan Craig and countless others. They're only going to get better, and they have more than enough bats to make up for Pujols' departure.

The thing about St. Louis is that they shouldn't have even made the playoffs last year WITH the best hitter in the game (well, second or third best at this point).

Don't get me wrong I see your logic, but I think most of that team overperformed last year while the Twins very much underperformed. Yes the new system is idiotic. |

You're assuming a lot if you think that young talent will develop enough to replace one of the best hitters the game has ever seen. |

I like the Cardinals so whatever
 Happens every year anyway "gahhhh (x) really didn't deserve it, they had this and that and (y) was really a better team and etc" unless we go to no playoffs and base it purely on record not sure what some people want. But yeah boo new playoffs and anything could happen but it does stand to logic the Cards won't be up to par this year. In the next couple of years though, who knows? I'd like to see them succeed. |

Winning your division is more impressive than winning the World Series. Anything can occur in a few short series. So when you see a wild card team win it all, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that they overachieved.

Nah not unreasonable and hey, there have been times throughout sports you kinda shake your head at who went so far, but that's why its a playoffs! One series or not still got beat those better teams.
I'd like the Yanks to actually win one series in play offs for once. Unrelated wonder how the Sahx will respond to their record collapse. Want to say they'll get over it but the Mets never recovered from their epic collapse, I wouldn't mind the same fate falling on Boston! |

The Cards will be helped this year with the new wildcard additions.......they will make the playoffs.....heck the Mariners might make it! Ohhh the shame of it all...
Top team in each division play for the ring.....period. Mediocre regular season teams should not...

I can't agree with you there. The Tigers have the arguably the best pitcher (Verlander) and hitter (Cabrera) in all of baseball while the Twins have giant question marks, at best. Former stars Mauer and Morneau are in rapid decline and their pitching staff has an aging journeyman as it's #1 starter (Pavano), the most consistently inconsistent #2 (Liriano), and extreme flyball pitcher Baker at #3. They also no longer have the defensive advantage over teams they had when they were hosting at the dome.

The Tigers and Mets are going to a shootout tied 7 to 7 after 10 innings. Oh wait, apparently they do kiss their sisters during exhibition ball as the game is ending in a 7 to 7 tie. Unfortunately, Jacob Turner got smoked for 6 runs including a grand slam. Early returns are that he will not be the Tigers number 5 starter as had been originally hoped coming into Spring training.

So Andy Pettitte is coming back to the Yanks.
Even the die hard fan in me finds it hard to get amped up about this. If it works out then great, but please please...don't make us all regret this Andy  |

^ He's a stud......a bit over the hill but still a stud pitcher. I think he will be fine, even though I am far from a NYY fan

Whenever there is a gap (regardless of sport) I get nervous...especially as the age increases but yeah, I wanna say he'll still be fine. If anyone can it's him.
I'd hope you say that, I know the Yanks are hated but jeez even on teams I hate I realize when a player is good Just kind of shocked, but these guys can't ever seem to fully retire Edited by JJLehto - March 16 2012 at 23:05 |

Fan of his and grateful for all the things he's done for the Yankees but I'd have liked to see him stay retired. He could've guested on Bernie Williams' next album.

Agreed, but now just to hope this isn't painful. What's worse than a comeback just to fall flat and re-retire in the gutter?  |

Cabrera took a groundball off of his face courtesy of Hunter Pence in the first inning today.

It would be nice to see the Jays and Rays be the East's playoff representatives this year.
Also, Tigers are playing the Buccos today so I am here to trash talk.
