	Yea the team is looking great right now. After that 6-12 start were now 18-16 yea were rolling right now particularly the offense and especially in the later innings when were down or have a small lead. The starting pitching has been great and even when the bullpen screws it up the offense has been charging back for a W. 5 wins in a row now and if the Cubs keep struggling and if the Cards have some problems we could be top of the division in no time.

	The Cardinals had a setback yesterday, besides losing the game, they found out that Mark Mulder isn't going to be ready anytime soon. I agree our bats are keeping us in this, but if we can just keep our bullpen together, and keep it improving we should look good after the AllStar break.

	Well the way the Cards starting pitching is going right now I'd say its a good thing for them that Mulder is taking longer than expected to get back but we'll see soon enough. If we can keep this up until the break then were in really good shape because we are historically a 2nd half team because thats usually when guys like Berkman & Oswalt go lights out. Maybe Lee & Pence will pick up the slack and if Berkman & Tejada can keep their production up we can have one of the best offenses in the league this year. Really in the end it rests on whether or not the pitching can get it done because even though the offense has been awesome lately they cant do it all themselves.

	True it really does depend on our pitching. Our offense is solid at the moment, but will see it's ups and downs I'm sure. Our Defense is very suprising at this point considering we don't have Everett. We're actually second in the league in defense.

	Pitching Smitchin.....jk, but I think when you have a team that has so many clutch hitters you are gonna win. Will it be enough. I sure hope so. I love the Stros and love the lineup we have. Dont be suprised if the broker a deal for a starter if they continue to win like this into July.

	Actually I will be surprised because who will we trade them? We lost a lot of the "junk" that was in our farm system to get Valverde and Tejada. Patton was the only prospect that I was even a little bit concerned about. But now that he's hurt and out for the season with arm issues, looks like it was good that we got rid of him while we could.

	He had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder this spring. He's probably out for the season, and will likely never be the same. I do feel for him because he did have potential.
