Gander where are you?

forgive me if I am wrong but didn't the Cards have TWO 10 game losing streaks throughout the season and then another 8 game losing streak near the end? I don't know what 1st place team could have gotten away with that in the old days...I'm guessing none~they do play in the biggest of the divisions so (but that's another unfair deal in neo-ball)...and then you have the Tigers who blew their division but still made the playoffs, that's not right
so I concur with Oracle something needs changin'!

to play Brain Cashman, I'd trade Sheffield to Seattle for Ichiro, Ichiro would be huge in NY, then I'd trade Abreau for a solid #3 starter, and I'd try and trade Giambi for a solid middle reliever who could also close, and start Andy Phillips at 1B, nobody would bite on ARod, in their right mind
