Customer Review: My child was fascinated for hours
My 8 year old son loved this gift. He poured over the cards for hours, sorting them, pulling out his favorites, and putting them back in "special spots". Be aware that the box is full - you won't be able to put in any of your other cards you may have. Also the "collector" box is just a plain cardboard box - nothing fancy. This didn't matter to us, and it is a heavy, durable cardboard. The only downside to the gift was that some of the cards were duplicated in the box.

2006 St. Louis Cardinals Predictions

Good pitching always beats good hitting, however, and ultimately it was the Astros pitching staff who kept the Cardinal hitters at bay in the playoffs. The NL Central is stacked with great pitching and St. Louis probably has the 3rd best staff behind Chicago and Houston. However, St. Louis pitchers tend to over achieve thanks to great run support. Carpenter, Mulder, and Suppan all had 16+ wins, and I expect Marquis to join that club this season. The St. Louis Cardinals will be a good team to back this season as their big bats are rarely asleep and their pitchers dont make many costly mistakes. Last season the Cards surprisingly had the lower ERA at 3.49 in the National League. Four of the clubs 5 starters had 10+ wins. They have also added a great fifth starter with loads of potential in Sidney Ponson. He is coming over from the Baltimore Orioles and even though he has had some off-field problems recently, if he can get his act together he can be a solid starter who picks up 20 wins. The bullpen is tough in Saint Louis and closer Jason Isringhausen is reliable whenever he is not on the disabled list.

2006 St. Louis Cardinals Predictions

The Cardinals 2005 campaign was a disappointment due to the high expectations that were set by a World Series birth in 2004. The Cardinals had 5 less regular season wins, with 100, in 2005 than they did in 2004, largely because of winning just 9 of 19 down the stretch and just 16 of their remaining 30. Its never a good idea to be content and say that you can just turn it on come playoff time. This type of complacency is definitely something to look for down the stretch with both good and bad teams. Dont let yourself take too many hits before backing off in this situation. The better plays down the home stretch of the season are games with something riding on them. St. Louis putting the remainder of the regular season on cruise control ultimately cost them as they fell to the Astros, who finished the regular season 19-11, in last years playoffs.
