Join columnist Jeff Gordon for a live chat from 1-2 p.m. Monday about the Cards, Rams, Blues, Mizzou or whatever sport or team is on your mind.

Ken Wilson: I know Boggs imploded his last start so does TLR really think Mulder is one of his best five starter available right now? TLR seems to preach starting the best 5 and yet he seems to be giving Mulder a free pass.
Jeff Gordon: Well, we don't know if he is one of the best five. He might be. We'll see. I share your skepticism. But the Cards are leery of exposing a kid to too much, as happened with Parisi.
Ken Wilson: Gordo,

I'm of the belief that the Cards are a good team and have been a great story this season. But, I don't see them as a serious contender. Lightning could strike twice and we have a repeat of 2006. Do you see this team as being a serious contender and do they have enough talent that one or two solid trades for their better prospects will put them over the top at an appropriate risk level?
Jeff Gordon: I see the Cards lasting, yes. Wainwright will help. There will be a deal or two to fill holes. A few Memphis graduates will help, too. But I see '09 as being much, much better for a ton of reasons -- including Carpenter's return to the top of the rotation.
Todd F: Gordo,

Don't you think the Williams sisters should make the All-Star team?
Jeff Gordon: Well . . . probably not, but how about their Wimbledon success? That came out of nowhere, really, given all their injuries and relative indifference in recent years. Good for them!
Joel C: With talks of Carpenter moving to the bullpen...do you see him becoming the closer if this team stays in the thick of things in the playoff race? Franklin and Izzy in my opinion haven't been legit closers this year, so would have Carpenter in that role make sense?
Jeff Gordon: They could do worse than Carpenter finishing games. Franklin has done OK filling in and Izzy is trying to get back, but Carpenter could have knockout stuff.
chattylicker: How does T.O. get out of missing four games for missing drug test and not giving accurate phone numbers while Brown gets the suspension for the same reason?
Jeff Gordon: Don't know the detals, but agents play a big role in smoothing things out.
