Over at the Big League Stew they have a Cards/Cubs preview, with some minor chatter about some other teams who are also apparently in the NL Central. Such as the Astros:
I don't care for the monstrosity that Ed Wade put together in Houston, either. Lance Berkman's(notes) already hurt. That's all I need to know about the Astros. Oh, and Roy Oswalt(notes) is already talking about retiring. You tell me who the shortstop is without looking. You can't! So don't bother. Can we wrap this division up?
Oh, and the Astros are picked to finish 5th and 6th...
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
