I just want to thank your board for the vast amount of entertainment as I have dealt with my hangover today. I look forward to my banning and being called a troll. The richest part of this whole thread, by a redneck St. Louis South County toasted ravoli mile, is the delusional belief that you guys are somehow just a Theo away from running away with the Central for the next four decades. I look forward to watching you clowns trying to fill the empty first base spot. And Albert isn't coming to your shithole stadium to play 80 plus day games a year with amenities that rival a north suburb high school. Second base is another hole you need to fill. It appears you are set for 10 years at SS, bully for you. ARam (speaking of roid heads) might bolt, and even if he stays, he's about 5 years past being worth a [expletive]. Love your LF'er. It must be nice to have the worst contract in the history of pro sports occupying that spot. The good news, only about 70 million left until 2014. I like Marlon Byrd but he's no superstar. Couldn't name the RFer if I googled it. Soto is fine, of course he is no Yadi, and he is fragile. And how about that staff. 20 million still owed to the retired mental patient. Dempster and Garza are wonderful 4th and 5th starters. Too bad they are 1 and 2 on your putrid staff. And you all have said more than enough about Marmol. But don't worry, the Cards are in trouble. Waino is back, Carp for two more years, Garcia is better than any other starter you have. Westbrook and Loshe are in their proper 4 and 5 spots unlike your bum 1 and 2's. Oh, and if you look at any random prospect list Shelby Miller and Martinez routinely are in the top ten in MLB. And the lineup that led the NL in runs this year should be back next year, including one of the greatest players ever. You dooshnozzles enjoy your loser tradition. Make sure you tune in for the parade tomorrow, it's going to be great. 11 rings v. 1908. Good luck losers. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
