Very good post and you are right, up to this point the Cardinals rotation has been EXCELLENT, I totally agree there and just to bring the Yankees into my point, their SP, and for good reason, is questioned, because of what they have done on the field. Now the Cards rotation, lets be honest here, I dont think anyone envisioned these pitchers having these kinds of years, so at least going into the playoffs, it has to be somewhat of a mystery because there isnt much history for their staff in the playoffs. And they very well just might prove the skeptics wrong.
I agree about Prior, and its not like hes been pitching lights out either. Its time for the Cubs to stop moaning about their injuries and play the kind of baseball they are capable of playing.
