well, dusty's not the GM for starters... oh, I didn't know that...

How the hell did Dusty not sign him?!?!

earth2sean, you need to wise-up man...you're totally enabling this thread.

Should we feel bad for Wuertz, who they thought was named Jason Marquis...or for Marquis, who didn't get his picture taken?

Yeah...watch out or some jerk might lock this thread.

I would say Cap Anson definitely deserves a spot...

Jesus, look at the size of Murts forearms... Yeah, he's kind of got fat guy wrists.

You didn't read that post I guess...

You don't think the manner in which leadership conducts themselves has anything to do with the way the rest of a "business" conducts itself? I don't think anybody is saying Tony held a gun to their heads and said "Drink or you're cut from the team", but I certainly don't think he has exactly provided an environment where drinking and driving, PEDs, and recreational drug use are strongly discouraged. For all the stuff that went on with LaRussa before the initial incident with Hancock happened, you would think somebody would have taken the bull by the horns and said something to the guy about scaling back the partying a little. I definitely don't think it should...that's my point. If some idiot mimics his manager or thinks because "he does it, I can do it", that's hardly the manager's fault. These aren't middle schoolers, they can make their own decisions. He's responsible for his own drug problems, not his players. LaRussa probably should have talked to guys who had obvious PED or alcohol problems (and he might have, I don't know) but he shouldn't have to police them.

That last quote makes me feel good. Darn tooting. At this point, I'm not sure he's worth Gallagher alone. I should know this after 228 pages, but does Belkast know enough about the guys we are offering that he can tell what a laughable deal is?

yeah i know, they should stick to the articles they usually make fun of, the articles about scrappy white players who play the game the right way. Agreed. And if they could actually make it funny, that might even be better. Uhhh...I'm confused.

Tony LaRussa was manager of those Cardinals teams when McGwire played, Kile died with dope in the bathroom, Hancock died drunk in a car accident and on and on. At least ten years+ of St. Louis leadership and looking the other way. I'm just thankful that Leonard Little plays for the Rams and got off light for drinking and then killing 3 people with his SUV. The Genius would have made him a bench coach. Do you honestly think that these grown men are talked into drinking and drugging by their manager, or that he encourages that kind of behavior? You think a 26 year old man tries to emulate his drunken coach because he respects him so much? I don't think a manager has much to do with any players behavior off the field.

Just wait till he makes Braun lay down like 50 sac bunts...

usually cub-killers suck. trot doesn't suck. He's declined each of the last 3 years and was awful last year. He better not hurt us this year, although I'm not sure it can get any worse than Augie having a 1.101 OPS in the playoffs against us last year. But I think I recall that Augie was one of Sutcliffe's difference makers in that series, so it wasn't unexpected. (Theriot was one for the Cubs of course.)
