ted,

good to go for that bet, but you have to pick the team you say is going to beat them.

Allen Craig FT in right field, Berkman at first base, the kid 1B in AA Iowa comes in early and learns the ML game.

Oh, yes, some guy named Wainwright will be in the rotation for spring training. Figure he would have won sixteen or seventeen games last year, and the brew crew would NOT have won the division.

I believe the Cards will win eight or more games more than they did in 2011 and runaway with the division.
Good hitting wins games; good pitching wins World Series.

Cards fan since I went to my first game in 1953.
