    Yeah, there are only 2 teams in AL with records above .500.

    Oh what a stud Harper was (for us) right from the get-go; An uncommonly mature, strong and arrogant freshman whose athleticism was off the charts. As for McDonald's stuff, I don't know. What I do know is Lowell Hamilton was #1 high school player in the nation according to Street & Smith, and...

    One of my cherished memories came the first week of May in 1954, when I listened on my radio as Stan The Man clobbered 5 homers in a Busch Stadium doubleheader against the (New York) Giants. I think Musial had 9 rbi that day. I did a little research; only one other player has ever done that...

    You know, I'm tired of losing games to UConn. Let's change all that when we play them in Chi.

    Agree completely. A video of that bunt would be a very good thing to show to youth league and high school players.

    I wish Pru's bestest frend the best also. It won't help his heart to watch our bullpen. They do make things interesting. Cards are 21-13 and alone in second place. Last night's win over the Brewers brought the home record above .500. Wins on the road have been satisfying all season.

    Gotta love this roster. IMO, the for-sure starters would be Andrej, Mirkovic, Tomi and Vaaks. Davis should be a veteran presence, either as a starter or major minutes off the bench. That leaves a quality bunch of guards fighting it out for a starting role and major minutes off the bench...

    I agree with you and I'll go you one better. I'd like to see him as a D3 post up guy. He'd be very good, but not necessarily dominant. Of course it'd have to be in a program that gives athletic scholarships. They exist, but could never match the $$ he'll get at a D1 school. And of course...

    We'rre gonna love Coleman and Vaaks. Both have great length and are dangerous shooters from deep. That should really stretch any defense.

    I like your comment about defense. Shortstops don't get much better than Winn, and of course Scott is a plus center fielder. I love players with speed.

    Why? How do you know his defense is suspect? How many of his games have you watched? 6? 8? More?

    You'll find FL cattle in a large stretch down the center of the state. My wife and I lived 3 yrs. in Naples. The coasts, of course, are extremely populous; you won't find any grazing there. FL is the flattest state there is. We didn't like the culture there, or the dilemma--unspeakable...

    This coming season, I think Jake Davis will be our Jack Ingram. Weber used Ingram early and often off the bench; he was a mature, savvy player who was always a plus factor. Davis has all the skills and mental toughness to be that guy for us.

    Just watched Kitt highlights; I think we're gonna love this guy. He needs to get bigger and stronger, but for a player so young, that's to be expected. He may even grow another inch or two. He can score at all three levels and seemed to be an unselfish player; made some superb passes to...

    I agree with all of this. He knocked down a decent number of threes, but always seemed hesitant to launch one even when he had an open look. Tentative I guess you would say. If he can gain confidence in that shot and be bold about putting it up, he could be a complete player.
