I'm basing my sample size on several years putting up with think Lizzy, if
you remember I've been commenting on him for a couple of years now.....as
far as being negative? I love this team and most of the players on it and
couldn't be happier with the way things are going. That said I think the
Cards need to tweak here and there to make themselves a legitimate playoff
contender.

As far as your other comment....you don't know me well enough or at all to
make it.
