    who thinks the cardinals will beat the phillies?

    I think they have a real good chance. Eagerly waiting for series prices.

    Carpenter pitching tonight doesn't help their cause.

    I also think the Cards have a chance. Can't trust the Phillies offense.

    esp if waino comes back, not being a homer but the phils been on cruise control for awhile and the team who wins wild card has a good chance since there hotter

    i hope so but i doubt it. phillies just kind of got hot here in the last few games and we only get to have carp pitch once for us.

    it does help us tremendously tho that we dont have to play the tiebreak game because now we can have jaime garcia pitch at home in game 3 (jaime is an emoitional head case who doesnt pitch good on the road).

    i'm sure the line for game 1 (Lohse vs Halladay) will be something like -200 to -250. then game 2 will be Lee vs Edwin Jackson. So we could be looking at an 0-2 deficit right off the bat

    If cards get a split in philly they have carp for the pivotal game. Phils are sharp and focused but I see a good series here. A little concerned that the cards went crazy on bubbly. Should have been more low key. Phils might regret letting the cards in thru the backdoor. Leeand doc haven't been that sharp the last little while. Cards have great bats.

    Too lazy to write it out but I'll be contributing once the series starts. Biggest reasons is Cards don't have a bona-fide ace. Carpenter is ok, but he's old and has been unreliable. Garcia is a psuedo-ace, I dunno about him. The others are mediocre.

    Good defense wins championships. I think the same can be applied to this years WS.

    Phillies pitching will carry them even if their offense stink. But their offense will wake up in the playoffs...they just didn't give a crap once the clinched. Plus the cards bullepen sucks.

    Halladay
    Lee
    Hamels
    Oswalt
    Worely

    Probably sweep or 4-1.

    Hilarious stuff here. People have opinions on the series and don't even know it's a 5 game series. To say the Cards have no chance is beyond retarded. Cards have won 16 of 21 and just beat Halladay with Lohse 10 days ago in Philly. The same matchup goes on Saturday, and if you lose the first game, you have to win 3 of 4.

    Phillies are gonna be big favorites. But this is October. Let it play out, and don't be surprised if it's a great series.

    People just assume the Phillies are an auto win due to having Lee, Halladay, Oswalt, Hamels and Worley. Things are different in the playoffs. The Cardinals can beat the Phillies.

    STL is one of the most overrated teams in Major League. Cards sux! Cards don't have any chance versus Phillies.

    Gonna be Phillies vs Yanks Final. Mark my words..

    Jesus Christ. Did we not learn our lesson last year in the NLDS? The Central is terrible. Cards' & Brewers' records are inflated from playing 18 each against a shitty division. Phils might sweep like they did the REDS (who everyone was so high on then).

    Doc > Lee > Hamels > Next.

    and the series that the Cards just won 3/4 in Philly was right after they clinched. That holds no water in predicting this series.

    Anyone who bets the Cards against this Phillies team will just lose his money.

    LOL at those looking at the Season Series, the Phillies didn't care for most of that last series they played the Cards, and for those saying the Phillies were on cruise control, they just swept the Braves in 3 must win games for the Braves on the road.

    Garcia vs Halladay
    Jackson vs Lee
    Carpenter vs Hamels
    Westbrook/Lohse vs Oswalt

    Must be a pretty good team that once they put their lineup together they go 4-0 on cruise control.
