Beautiful

over the next few weeks you will see the Cardinals do whatever it takes to bring in another pitcher asap. With the acquisitions the Brewers and the Cubs have just made, it looks like a 2-horse race unless the Cards can match both teams by landing a real good starter. There's not much out there to choose from at this point though. I predict that the Cards will be about 10 games out of first within a month.

I would love to see the Brewers and Cubs in the NLCS. That would be epic. I think the Cubs have too much for the Brewers, but it would be an exciting series.

The arms race is on, we got the better deal didn't give up as much as the Brewers + we didn't rent a player for 2.5 months

Harden             77IP     5 - 1    2.34 ERA     92 K 31 BB

Gandin             62IP     5 - 3    3.59 ERA     44 K 17 BB

Sabathia          122IP   6 - 8    3.89 ERA     123 K 43 BB

Cubs gave up only Gallagher that they wanted for Harden and Gaudin.

A's get three players who can potentially help now.

For whatever reason the Cubs didn't like Murton. Patterson was proven to be a 2b ONLY player because of what the White Sox did to him in LF (I mean Juan Pierre's ARM looks like Roberto Clemente next to this kid LOL).

Now will Oakland move Mark Ellis to give Patterson more playing time?
