    Macias. 1 year 9 million. Sorry, couldn't stop myself.

    I love it when people start picking the Cards 3rd. Works like a charm every time ;) I would agree that the Cubs and Cards off season has left a lot to be desired so far. That said, the Astros have done nothing, and I think the Brewers are still a year away imo. This is still the Cards division to lose.

    Have you're fun but don't forget you guys will have "JRod" and So running around the OF. :D touche... crosses fingers for a Marquis for impact bat trade...

    Yeah, I just got off the phone with my Dad. He's not real happy. I hope you folks know that I wouldn't say anything just to be mean. I really am glad that he's not a Redbird which could have happened just as easily.

    You know how much I like posting here. You know how much I respect the fans here. You know that in a little way it hurts me to do this. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA THE CUBS SIGNED JONES!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Who knows, it might work out just fine. (I'm just glad he's not a Cardinal)

    I like this forum Always have. The fans here are very good, and it hs what Cards Talk doesn't. Good Mods. It's the best rivalry in baseball, and NSBB is a place that embraces that. \:D/

    What he said. ;)

    He already did. Twice!

    Thank you for seeing that. I can deal with a lot of things, saying that MLB wants the Cards to win is not one of them.

    he tells them "see these? these are birds on bats. throw the ball three inches off the corners and they'll be called strikes. now go have a career year." Bitter? admitting? That posts like that make no sense? That blaming the officials or luck or God for another team winning is kinda sad. Yeah, pretty much.
  12. ManEatingTarp
    Oh no! Look, the Cardinals will play in a modern park that should be one of the best places in the country to watch baseball. The horror!

    Scott Rolen will be the Cardinals big pick up this year. That said, I think they are going to come back to the pack in 06. Things look down right now, but there is still a lot of hot stove left.

    I'm mixed on this one. Burnett would have made for a great 1-5 staff next year. But at 5yr/55, that's too long and too much money. 4yr/45 was a major push for a .500 pitcher. I hope we look back on this in 3 years and compare him to Hampton and Kevin Brown. As far a where the Cards go next, I think they'll try and resign Matt Morris to a 3 year deal and then trade Marquis to the Reds for Kearns or Pena. Maybe take a look at J Jones for the third OF spot and either Mueller, Lugo or Nomar for second. They still have a couple bullpen spots to shake out. Looking like a long list all of a sudden.

    Gee. Maybe you could just trade Mitre for Abreu. ABREU IS NOT GOING TO BE MOVED FOR A PILE OF DIRTY SOCKS! (not that Murton is a pile of dirty socks, but come on people!) What the hell is the point of this post, and how does Murton equate to dirty socks, and did you not read the "Murton in a deal for" part of my post? Didn't notice your change. But where do you get off saying "come on people"? I never said Murton straight up. Why don't you take the time to read a post next time before trying to ridicule it? Sorry gooney. Some of the trade stuff at Cards Talk is soooo off base that I usually come here for some sense of sanity. I'm just riled up. Sorry to take it out on you.

    Ya think.

    Are you folks going to be upset when Patterson lands the Cubs 2 minor league players that you've never heard of? Or when he is a minor part of a multi-player deal that is more of a money moving transaction. It's natural to put these types of deals together on a forum. On Cards Talk there are people that think Marquis/John Gall/Brad Thompson will land Abreu...

    JD Drew is the most frustrating player I've ever watched. He was to the Cards what Corey is to the Cubs.

    When Wood is healthy he can be flat out dominant. No doubt about it. I'll still be very happy if the Cards sign Burnett. Great way to break in the new stadium.
  23. ManEatingTarp
    Those 4 wins a year against the Cubs will probably help. Only 4? Oh, that's right. He'll get paired up against Zambrano once and they'll both get no-decisions as the Cards win 1-0 in the 10th. I was at that game this year :D

    kerry wood got traded to baltimore?? Wood has better stuff than Burnett? Ha! It's Sunday night, man. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow? You shouldn't be liquored up this late. Burnett's raw stuff may be marginally better than Wood's. You seem to have the gift of hyperbole tonight. Burnett has better stuff than Wood? By what measure? Wood has far more ks/9 and a much better BAA. Wood has better stuff hands down. Other than your opinion, what basis do you have for Burnett having better stuff? Asking because I don't know, and too lazy to look for it, but what is the difference in K/BB? I think that Burnett has shown better control, but I can't say for sure.

    Walt is going to be live on one of the local TV stations around 10:30. It's one of the weekly sports recap shows, so we may or may not have more info in a bit.
