For one thing, I figured the Braves were going to be the wild card. For another the Astros were so bad who cared about the Central. I was at the Cardinals 13-6 win over the Astros on Tuesday night. Punto started at SS and was 4 for 5.capewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028921297568214207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603009778596598032.post-79149325385748390002011-09-30T18:41:56.855-05:002011-09-30T18:41:56.855-05:00It only took the Cardinals 4 months to figure out ...It only took the Cardinals 4 months to figure out what the Cubs and Dodgers already knew: that Ryan Theriot is not a major league shortstop. He's now on the short side of a platoon with Skip Schumaker at 2B. Rafael Furcal, assuming health, will start at SS. If he can't go, it will be Nick Punto.<br /><br />Freese is the full-time 3B and is a decent hitter, but he often is removed from games for defensive reasons. We could easily see Daniel Descalso get a start there, too, if matchups are favorable.<br /><br />I think St. Louis will win in 4, mostly because I think their offense will hold its own against the Phillies trio of aces. If the Cards pitching falls apart, however, it could be a rough series.maddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493650721714521989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603009778596598032.post-21024265813974267222011-09-30T17:14:21.258-05:002011-09-30T17:14:21.258-05:00John, thanks.John, thanks.capewoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028921297568214207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603009778596598032.post-72808977457347182692011-09-30T16:58:24.967-05:002011-09-30T16:58:24.967-05:00Rasmus was traded by the cards in AugustRasmus was traded by the cards in AugustJohn Batemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159036395402962119noreply@blogger.com
