Well baseball fans, the month of April is in our rear view mirror, and we have some surprises regarding the "Holy Trinity" of baseball favorites in this neck of the woods. The St. Louis Cardinals, predicted by many baseball "experts" to finish anywhere from second to fifth in the head-scratching NL Central are on top of the mountain in first place, while the darling of the division the past two seasons, the Chicago Cubs are finally starting to play respectable ball after a tough start.
As for the White Sox, meh. They're right where we thought they might be. As former Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green so eloquently put it two years ago, "The White Sox, er Bears, are who we thought they were!!!" Up and down starting pitching, and an aging lineup that isn't getting much from the youngsters on the roster currently has the Second City's second team floundering around the .500 mark.
So my question to you, Mr. Baseball fan, is how do you think the Cards, Cubbies, and Pale Hose will play over the next five months? Can the Cards keep it up? Will the Cubs eventually kick it into high gear and take the divison for a third consecutive season? Will Ozzie Guillen's head explode? The answers to these age old mysteries and more lie deep within your own internal baseball "expert." Let myself and WGCY listeners know your OBJECTIVE feelings in the comment section provided below, and we'll discuss them on the morning sports report at 7:30 weekdays. Thanks for reading!!

i think the cubs will have a mixed start, but will finish strong. the cardinals will do well all season and the white sox will just be o.k.
Round 1 of the Cubs-Sox series is done. It's time for Frank to write a blog ripping into the White Sox or Ozzie.
You flatter me each time you post with that oh so creative username "dog." No need to rip into Ozzie and the Sox this year. He incriminates himself each time he opens his mouth.
Jim Hendry made some bad moves. Lou Piniella seems to be asleep at times. The truth is the Cardinals are a better team. St. Louis might be the best team in the national league right now. The White Sox continue to hang around in a weak division. Ozzie holds his players accountable and his GM has given him a roster that is much better than it was in April. The future looks better on the south side. The Sox are not stuck with many long term bad contracts like the Cubs.
