Early Season Measuring Stick

Cardinals in Philly for 4 starting tonight.

Philly going to miss Carpenter, he went last night.

Cardinals 1, Beast of the East 0

Wainwright tonight, good to see how he does against a real line-up with real hitters.

Guess the Phils didn't get the scouting report that you just can not run on Molina.

Well now, that didn't go so well.

Cards are a good team, but the Phils are just better. No shame in that. I think the Phils are grittier and just better at scrapping things together than most other teams, and I think the past two years and now this year are showing that - when the games get bigger, the Phils have a knack for ratcheting up their play. With the core of the Phils right now, no reason why that should change over the next few years.

If these guys match up in the playoffs, should be a fun and good series.
