i am sorry, but you are delusional.
the cards will sweep you guys if they face you. ok maybe the pads win a game with peavy, MAYBE. seriosuly, this is the cards.
chris carpenter is going to win the cy young ( oh and he has much better numbers then peavy does this year, while playing half of his games in a hitters park. he doesn't have the spacious petco park to save home run balls) , mark mudler is a helluva #2 guy.
chan ho park???? woody williams?? seriously, these guys can dominate a crappy line up like the giants, but not the cards. pujols, edmunds, sanders. you bring up injuries, well rolen has been out most of the year ( he's done for the rest of the year with shoulder surgery) sanders had a broken leg for a while, the cards have been banged up themselves. yet they went a won their division back in june, and the pads are desperatly trying to win the weakest division baseball has seen in a loooooooong time.
again, i'm sorry, but the cards aren't being beat by the pads. they are probably winning the world series this year.
