Throw in the fact that since it is a race now and Wacha and
Martinez won't get the rest they need I'd much rather face them.

You missing what Jaime Garcia's doing? Basically, everyone they
throw out there doesn't give up runs.

You do love pitchers that have unstainable ERA's. None of the
Cards pitchers are close to Cole. I'd take Liriano over them as
well.

You keep saying unsustainable this and that but the Cardinals
keep sustaining pretty well.

The Cards may continue for the rest of the year to strand
runners at the highest rate in the history of modern baseball by
far for the rest of the year. That doesn't make it sustainable.
The Cardinals pitcher even if they do regress are still good.
They aren't going to become Dan Haren. None of the Cards
pitchers are as good as Cole. That is why, in a one game
playoff, I would rather face the Cards.
Now if your talking about a 5 or 7 game series I would rather
face the Pirates. Their rotation is top heavy with their 3/4
starters being subpar. I'd like the Cubs chances better their
than the Cards who have 1-5 depth, but not an ace.

Agree. I definitely hope the Pirates overtake the Cards.
Assuming they don't both falter a bit and allow us to get the
division, of course.

Pirates finally lose. Cardinals blowing Arizona out in the 1st
already.

Cody's season ended on Friday. His Grandmother passed away
unexpectantly and he was sent home to be with family this week.
He was at the total innings that they wanted him throwing for
the year (80) so he wouldn't have thrown more than maybe 4-5
more innings to end the year. He had a very nice year 26.1 IP
with a 1.71 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP with a BAA of .135 with 19 K and
10 BB, he also had a healthy 2.7 GO/AO. He learned very quickly
that a 2-3 pitch ground out was better than a 4-6 pitch SO in
most situations. Early on he pitched relief and then he and his
roommate rotated Starting the 2nd half of the year. I am pretty
sure that he only gave up 1 extra base hit in the 12 hits
allowed. He sat 91-92 and got it up to 94-95 several times per
game. He had several teammates throwing in the high 90's but
they couldn't consistently locate and had little movement and
there numbers were not very good. Cody said even in rookie ball
they will hit 95+ if you miss in the middle of the plate. He
goes back out for instructs in the middle of September for 3
weeks and then he will be home through the first of March.
I have attached his stats at the bottom if anyone is interested.

Thanks CBJ... He has a long way to go but he is living his
dream. The Mariners have been very good to us and I have no
qualms with him being a Mariner but my heart wants him to be a
Cub. Mariners are very pleased with him and I don't look for
them to move him but one never knows.
