Opening Day 2011

            Even though most of the rankings have us trailing the Reds this year and Sports Illustrated has us taking fourth place this year in the NL Central, all of that doesn't seem to bother me at this point.  I hate to sound like an optimist but the Cardinals have a shot to win it every year.  They've got the potential to do some damage, anytime you have a guy like Pujols in your lineup you have a shot to win every game.  As long as he has guys hitting around him that can get on base he can keep this team in first place. But with the loss of our Ace Adam Wainwright it isn't going to be easy, the Cardinals are gonna have to fight to make their way back to the playoffs this year, where they belong.
