Wacha and Martinez 9 wins each, both under 23, Cards earliest to get to 50 wins since 05 White Sox World Series winners, Cardinals 49-12 when scoring more than two runs, Scruggs one of the best, Cards 51 wins 75 games in, only 7 loses at home, Doug gets his tennis shoes at Sam's Club for 29 dollars, but his kids' shoes are 140 bucks each time, in the east they're sneakers, in the midwest they're tennis shoes, Lindsey bought Plowsies' nikes, Plowsies says Russel Wilson is worth the money and his teammates like him, No Holliday, Wainwright, a couple weeks with no Lynn and still 51 wins...unbelievable, the Cubs do have a lot of young talent..but they're not ready yet, Joe Strauss, Cubs are young and talented but its difficult for a young team to have solid consistency from their hitters and pitchers, Strauss has issues with Lester - thinks he's a very flawed pitcher in the majors, 50 games before July is improbable even by the best teams, the hitting seems to be normalizing, pitching still producing amazing ERAs, Rosenthal is consistent, no obvious weak link in this bullpen, Kronke would prefer to be in LA, Edmonds 45th birthday party, fans in Kirkwood offers Tim, Doug and Plowsies food on them.
