"If he can stay healthy he ought to do better than that. In the power department, anyway. Even when he was playing this year, he was battling one nagging injury or another."

"Rotation and bullpen you're absolutely right. The Cardinals were first in the NL in basically every batting statistic. The Cards hitting is better at almost every position. I'll give the Phils 2B, SS, and CF, and the Cardinals everything else. Their bench has been top notch as well. Craig in particular."

"It's not, but it did lead to their first run. They won on a 2 run homer by David Freese."

"The Cards had the Phillies number all season, and beat all of their star pitchers at least once. As far as "superior offense" goes, it's true. Best in the NL. Their problem was the bullpen and LOTS of blown saves. It's been much improved since they restructured it at the trade deadline and gave the 9th to Motte. I'm not saying the Phillies shouldn't be the favorite in the NL, but I'd give St. Louis a better chance of winning against them than Milwaukee or Arizona, especially in a short series."

"They were pretty comparable, actually. Both got the Mets and Phillies. Atlanta had two sub .500 division rivals inWashington and Florida, St. Louis had two sub .500 division rivals in Chicago and Houston."

"There's no solid evidence one way or the other. There's enough room to speculate. I think it's safe to assume he had some link to Grey Wind. All the other Starks do, except Sansa, who probably would have if Lady hadn't been killed. Really adds another sad note to the Red Wedding."

"I doubt they'll cast Arys yet since be becomes a little more important down the line. Somebody's got to try and kill Tyrion on the Blackwater, so I could see Mandon Moore getting a name and a face at some point in the season. Preston Greenfield is a possibility, though I wouldn't be surprised if he gets skipped over. The only thing of note he does in the books is die in the riot. Jaime and Meryn are already cast, which leaves Boros Blount. Possible, I suppose, if they keep the bit about his cloak being stripped when he gives up Tommen to Tyrion's thugs, but I wouldn't be surprised if that gets left out of the show."

"It makes sense from a political standpoint. After all, Robert's "All Targs must die" stance never went so far as to affect Aemon. However, no one "sent" Jon to the Wall. He wanted to go. His parentage may have made it easier for Eddard to give his blessing, but Ned wouldn't have forced him to go."
