SI's Baseball Preview came out today, and the Cardinals have apparently wrapped up the 2010 NL Central by six games over the Cubs, 18 ahead of the Astros, who are picked to go 69-93.
Here's your run-on sentence on the Astros, courtesy of writer Albert Chen:
The Astros, one of baseball's oldest teams in 2009 (six of eight regulars were at least 33), are making a desperate run at the division title; rather than replenish a depleted farm system, Houston added expensive, nonimpact veterans, among them starter Brett Myers, third baseman Pedro Feliz and reliever Brandon Lyon.
