Who do we get from the Cardinals? Two Class A stiffs won't cut it.
Eventually a contender will want him. The key is to get GOOD young players for anybody we trade.
You have no idea about the philosophy of clearing up money by unloading bad contracts.
We sure have a ton of money tied up in two very underachieving starting pitchers. It's getting pretty obvious Buehrle needs to go to the NL to extend his career.

He has to afford Buehrle -- his veteran workhorse) -- the opportunity to work out of the jam AND GET THE WIN! Always worried about getting the vet starter the f***ing win.
Ironic thing is he had a better chance of getting the win for Buehrle if he went to the bullpen.

Pretty pointless having Santos when you have such a clueless manager.
It's unreal, isn't it? He must have thought the Rangers had Matt Stairs on the bench or something.
Wow Ozzie...what game are you watching? I guess that Santos/Borbon match-up just scared him too much. Buehrle had the perfect umpire for his current stuff, and he still gave up 12 hits. Hey Cardinals, PJ Walters sucks!!

I hate the fact that our still team can't score from second.
I don't think it's been that bad this year. Usain Bolt wouldn't have scored on that play.

This board is dead. Is it cause we are winning (at this moment)?
Sorry, I was watching the Octavio Dotel show. 5 saves this year vs the Cubs!
Alexei's been better at SS, no doubt about it. I think people forget how much he struggled there last year...one Toronto game in particular where he couldn't field a ball no matter what.

Initial analysis?
Yes, I went back on his yahoo game log and looked at the play-by-play. It was like watching a horror movie having to go review some of those games.
