The Red Birds

Here's my take on the cards, I'm just happy they've made it this far. Frankly with the way they played this year I'm just pleasantly surprised that San Diego didn't sweep them. Now that being said, this year they have vastly underachieved, so it feels like now they're playing the way they should have. Granted tonight they're losing, but hey they've been in every game they've played.

I worry a lot about Reyes who is supposed to be a starter next year, he sure hasn't looked like one. Iv'e said it before and I'll say it again, Make Wainright the starter, that kid seems to be more of a steady dependable guy.

Last night's game was great, Trachsel is pretty much the same pitcher he's always been, not very good. Oliver Perez on the other hand... I bet the Mets were wishing they'd have started him instead.

It would have been nice to see what Mulder could have added to the table this year. I'm not convinced he's that good but he definately could have helped in this series.
