But the Cubs at 1-5 on the week must have had a better week as tbey jumped the Cards in ESPN’s power rankings http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/23384147/ranking-mlb-teams-week-5

FWIW, USA TODAY’s new power rankings, which were in this morning’s paper have St. Louis sixth and the Cubs seventh. The two teams do seem very close right now.

Chris Carpenter…..Adam Wainwright…..now it’s Jack Flaherty time. Carpenter won 20 once, Waino twice….I’m thinking Jack Flash does it at least three times.
