Yeah... It's more depressing to have our minds toyed with like this. I know Cub fans can relate (again, with Furcal reportedly signing), but this happened last year with Reneteria, too. thestlcardinals.com guaranteed he would re-sign. I really had a good feeling about Burnett. And trading Burnett meant we could move Marquis for a much-needed outfielder. Our offseason was contingent on signing him, and now we have to resort to Plan B; we supposedly offered Jacque Jones a deal, too. Christ. :roll: Don't forget, Brett Boone might be coming to the Cards as well (see Rivalrys). :twisted:
