Hey Windy - Nylon or Straw?

[CNY Tim]

The two best teams in baseball had the brooms at the ready on Sunday. I enjoyed watching the Dodgers and Sox play last night on ESPN. Windy how many sweeps have you guys had this year we picked up our 6th sweep yesterday afternoon. Now were back to inter division play where were a robust 21-5 thus far this season. Yankees did a nice job beating up the Cubbies for us and we stretched our lead in the NL central over the weekend to a whopping 9.5 games over the north siders.

Tim,

I think we have 5 to date, I heard we have won something like 17 series, lost 4 and tied 2. I know the Sox have outscored the opponent about 2 to 1 in the first inning and the same in the last two innings. Pretty scary stuff. I would love to add to our broom collection this week, adding two straw (always been a natural kind of guy) brooms with the Royals name and Cubs name on them. Who knows, it could happen! Later, Windy

Tim,

How bout an I-55 series? Pale Hose vs. Red Birds? That would get some tongues wagging! Windy

Right now I can't see to closer matched teams then the Sox and Cards. I see the White Sox almost a mirror image of the Cardinals last season alot of come back wins.

The past two years we have had Taveras and King and Izzy for the ninth and it works. Carpenter through another gem last night, his 17 inning of scoreless ball was snapped in the ninth as the Cards continued domination of division opponents. Pujhols and Sanders went yard and Taguchi pulled back a home run from Aurillia. Edmonds hit a full BP session so he looks like he won't need the DL.. It doesn't seem to matter because we haven't skipped a beat with our bench guys at all. The key for my Cardinals is to have a healthy starting staff in the post season this year. We need Carpenter and Morris healthy in the playoffs. These two teams are very much alike.
