" I'm Bryan Webber on the top baseball for that would please be joined by foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal Canada's St. Louis Cardinals a surprise teams so far this season what's been the key to their strong starts."

" Glad I'm going to give you three reasons why they have started so well number one would feed -- And it's not just about out of pool though having the best player in the game and maybe one of the best players in the history of the game certainly helped."

" Right now the Cardinals are second in the National League in runs per game."

" It's not just cool -- that it's Yadier Molina itself whole host of guys. Proving that this team is a much better offensive force and we expected. Numbered through most of greeted the starting rotation. You know Chris Carpenter make -- only to restore. That rookie -- is thirteen to for the National League best three point 13 ERA. Type like Kyle Lohse Adam Wainwright getting it done."

" Finally number three that would be Ryan Franklin. Now you don't normally associated Ryan Franklin with a great closers in the game manner of Barrett Jonathan Papelbon company."

" But since moving into the closer role Franklin -- seven for seven in save opportunities. Ten and 13 scoreless innings. Remember the storm that he's in the court Cold War actual their clothes that would be but it will be one of the youngsters Chris -- Jason -- well with Franklin so far so good."

" The same cannot be up to the net -- below 500 heading into may what's wrong with New York."

" it before the match off -- ever in the middle of a nervous breakdown and here we go again."

" Jerry Manuel their managers said this week of their offense quote our anxiety take over and get in the way are performing."

" I'm -- I know what you think of that quote but it certainly screamed to me."

" We're joking at least staying there and ultimately that's what happened did better in the clutch something they have not done thus far. And even more importantly. They need their story is the ideal on Santana to do a much better job check it out. This season the -- ERA after Johan Santana except for Johan Santana. Six point 81. The talk about Oliver Perez Mike Pelfrey John Maine and Levon Hernandez. Perez will be -- fortieth spot in the rotation Saturday at Philadelphia."

" He had done extremely well against the Phillies in his career one run allowed in 26 games last season."

" Well -- pick up considered."

" Finally the severed just go Giants playing good baseball lately is his -- built for the long haul."

" Well I actually -- standard's Brian I would say yes they are built for the long haul. The Dodgers certainly look like the best team in the division but the Giants have shown their last eleven games. They're starting pitching is going to be just as formidable as we all anticipated. In those last eleven games this starters have produced nine quality start 9/11. If ERA at that time the rotation lire one point or not. Obviously we -- pitching like that you're going to be game."

" The question wicked guys is whether -- get enough offense to finally sustain what they have on the pick inside."

" So qualified are not very good if the team batting just 225 with runners in scoring position at fourteen the National League. And it went what five hitters are not exactly -- so we talk about public and the ball Bengie Molina and Aaron Rowand. The Giants sure could use Manny Ramirez."

" Ken thanks for the end Sizemore baseball video he'd -- on the foxsports.com. I'm Bryan Webber will you next."
