    I may be in the minority, but I don't want Pujols. He will be 32 years old next season and likely only has 2-3 more peak years left. 2-3 years is also a pretty good estimate for when the Cubs will begin to see improvement in their organization as a result of dedicating resources to drafting, scouting, and player development. It just doesn't make sense to me to spend a ton of money on a guy who will be on the decline by the time the team is built to contend consistently.

    I just keep telling myself that 3 or 4 years down the road the Cubs will have a completely restocked organization and financial resources that St. Louis can never match. Enjoy it while you can Cardinals.

    Yeah, that was odd. If I hadn't seen the game, I would think that Carpenter staying in was what won the game for the Cardinals.

    I hate that Walmart commercial. Can anyone explain the point of layaway? If someone doesn't have enough money to buy something, why don't they just wait until they do and then go buy it?
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    But, but, this "good" world series worthy team. Clutch.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    I will be amazed if Carpenter survives the season next year.

    I'm with you. I heard an Epstein interview where he talked about the key to free agency is to build a deep enough system where your team goes into free agency in a position of strength. He said mistakes are made when a team is desperate to fill a position and signs a player simply because he is the best available, although he may not fit their ideal description. To me, that is CJ Wilson.

    Nice how Carpenter gets a generous outside corner.
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    What the hell ump? He had no intention of swinging at any pitch and you're going to let a run walk home on a pitch right on the outside corner?
  10. Irrelevant Dude
    On the bright side... Assuming that Carpenter starts tomorrow, that is another game of wear and tear on his 36 year old arm. He has pitched an insane number of innings this year and I think we will see the impact next season.

    Now this is gonna ruin my whole weekend when the Cardinals win tomorrow.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    Come on...

    Or the gunshots.

    What the hell is going on?
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Don't worry. Mark Lowe (who???) will save the day.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Definitely.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    If I have to see the Cardinals celebrate on the field, I'm probably going to throw up.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Not a chance.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Did he really? Yep. Wow. That is terrible.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Did he really?
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    What the hell is going on? Pujols is going to win this with a home run isn't he?
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    ARGHHH!
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Speaking of Stan Musial, didn't they break into the majors together?
