Yeah, we keep up with these predictions (you'll be able to click the Predictions label and see them all). Anyhow, Ringolsby's preview barely mentions Houston:
<i>It's difficult to imagine the Cardinals falling below .500, particularly in a six-team division that includes the Houston Astros, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs.</i>
Prediction: 6th place.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
