CAN THE CARDINALS WIN WITHOUT PUJOLS?

If the St. Louis Cardinals don’t repeat this year, it won’t be because of Pujols jumping ship, but because one of the greatest managers of all time: Tony La Russa.  I don’t think they will be able to replace Pujols, and since they did rid themselves of an albatross with his contract, they do have the money to get someone.

That is, take his team on a late drive both in the fourth quarter of the game and fourth quarter of the season. Hold on.

Facing Kansas City, an old nemesis: is dangerous this week.

ISLES ON ICE

Or so their winning streak is. Seems we can’t hope for much once again this season as in the past. Forget the Stanley Cup, when will be rise a spot higher than last
