QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Carpenter, Kip Wells, Adam Wainright, Jeff Weaver, Anthony Reyes. That's probably better than anyone else in the NL Central looks on paper. True, but imagine how better it will be if a few names you didn't mention stay with the organization. Another division title could be a lock, possibly even a World Series. My dream WS is the Cards vs. the Sox. Hell, I'd almost be a bit concerned if the Cubs somehow got Jason Schmidt.

As a Cardinals fan, I'm glad to see this. But I'm more concerned with the pitching right now.

Yeah, I know. I realize this. I guess it's just a hard dose of reality trying to set in. I want to see Figgins, but IMO, he's no comparison at all to Crede in terms of value to our club. He's been a key component , and call me pessimistic, but I can't see the Sox doing nearly as well without him.

Am I alone in wondering why Crawford BEFORE Figgins in this proposed lineup?

I want to see Figgins, but I don't want to see Crede or Freddy go, honestly. I could deal with seeing Freddy go, but frankly, and call me stubborn if you want, I am against any trade that has the name "Crede" strapped to it, and I don't care what anyone says. I'd hope there would be some way to get Figgins without giving up Joe. Maybe trade Freddy and simply put B-Mac in the rotation as apparently is planned.

PLEASE stop talking about trading Joe Crede.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Nov 20, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Patterson is not a lead off hitter. He is a good 6 or 7 hitter. I dont trust trading for Oriole Pitching. Well, I admit I don't know that much about Corey, but he got on base and stole...what? How many bases last year? At LEAST 30. In that case, I'd say not a bad idea. Someone should put the defensive comparison together between he and Pods and see what THAT looks like. Otherwise, I don't see why it's an absolute MUST to replace Pods. Only other guy I'd really like to get is Figgins.

I'm sitting in computer class right now, trying very hard not to start laughing my ass off.

Wow, that's an idea I hadn't thought of. All this talk about Soriano, Roberts, Pierre, Crawford, etc. What about Patterson? Seems like a good fit to me.

Anyone else find it just a little bit funny that Crede wins a SS instead of a GG?

Seeing both Ozzie and Lou blow up on the field would be the most hilarious thing ever.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 09:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> possibly the worst World Series of all-time in terms of talent I'd advise you to know what the hell you're talking about before you post. Thank you.

If JD gets traded, I'll cry.

One thing that Jay said that I agree with *Starts laughing uncontrollably*

GOD, I hope the Cardinals destroy the Tigers for the rest of the series. (No, not just saying this because of that cheating bastard, but also because I'm a Cardinals fan.)

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 1, 2006 -> 02:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ricky Henderson. Isn't he still playing in the minor leagues somewhere?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 30, 2006 -> 12:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The White Sox will finish with the 6th best record in baseball and not make the playoffs. Whoever wins the NL Central will probably have the 13th best record in baseball and make the playoffs. Please stop. I'm getting nauseous.

I pray that the Cardinals win the World Series. My God, could you imagine the security in NY if the Yanks play the Mets in the World Series?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 19, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Rock, what should I cheer for on Sunday? I really hate to say this, but there's a lot that some of you "Sox fans" could learn from Cubs fans, like supporting your team. Hell, even KC fans wear KC hats, man. Why? Because they support their team. But there's a difference between us, the Cubs, the Royals and EVERYBODY ELSE, and that's the fact that last year, WE won the World Series. Sure, I'm dissapointed, but having to wait another year for a possible playoff chance is much easier now that they've won a World Series the previous year. We can at least have a cushion for a while. The Cubs haven't done it in nearly a century. So be thankful, and look forward to next year.

Meh, I'll root for the Cardinals to win the World Series, that is, assuming the get in the playoffs.

QUOTE(SinkingShip06 @ Sep 17, 2006 -> 07:05 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I feel lots of bitterness. This team should be in the playoffs with no problem. They've played like clowns ALL season. Not making the playoffs is total failure. Wow. How quickly people forget. Yeah, sure, they've played poorly a lot more this season, and YES, you have to be hungry for more, but: 1. They DID just win their first title in 88 years, and everyone was so happy, and now, what? It doesn't matter for s*** anymore? SpringfieldFan posted one of the very few sensible and pure posts in this entire thread. 2. This season is NOT over. It MIGHT be, but not certainly. Anything can still happen. 14 games is plenty of time to catch a Wild Card IF things shape up, and seeing as Detroit is next, I'm fairly confident. I very well could be wrong, but if they make it this year, hell, just to the PLAYOFFS, I'm permanently sigging a picture of a big, fat crow to remind all of you about not only last year, but hopefully this year. Have some damn optomism. If we lose, we lose, but this is NOT over yet. I guess nobody learned from what happened last year.

Jesus Christ. Here we go again. I'm not talking about the Sox, either.

Right now, we need Brandon McCarthy to take over every slot in the rotation.

If anyone finds a close-up shot of Eric Cooper, LMK, please.
