Well looks like:
Carp
Mulder
Kip Wells (Which I think will be an excellent suprise!!!!)
Reyes (God I hope we get someone other than him!)

Weaver was a bitch....we showed him the best 1/2 year a person could get and he left like a punk. Oh well he just had a good post, hes no where near that good!

Marquis the biggest trader of all (Oh well, good riddins). Its like fuckin Damon....how do you play for the Cards and go to the Cubs, like playin for the Sox and goin to the Yanks. They both need shot!

Then you got money hungry Suppan!!! Went to the fuckin Brewers!!! Wow what a shumuck!!!!!

Belliard the 2nd baseman from the Indians took off as well, which isnt a big loss.

Resigned Edmonds (if he stays healthy another all star year). Still got the best player in baseball in Puljos! Rolen will be a god again! We have the best defensive catcher in baseball. Well tie between him and Pudge.

So ya I would say we are still in good hands. Not to mention we have one of the best GM's in baseball. Hes been known to get it done whenever it needs to!

I can never understand why a player would leave a WS team, do you have any idea why Weaver or any of the other players would leave?

 

[Double D]

I agree at first, but hey the Cubs are the Cubs. They dont have one super slugger. Yeah Lee is ok, but he had a year! Alot of people have a year. They dont have a guy who can carry them, like a Puljos, a Big Poppy, a Vladdy, they got a Aramis Rameriez. But hes kinda like Arod in a way. I seen him with a few big hits last year, but nothing to the likes of those I mentioned.

 

[Double D]

Cubs pitching.....Who in the hell are these guys???? Yeha Prior, but he will only last a few months. And where the hell is Wood?

The root of all evil......speaking of which the Yanks didn't go crazy this year.

 

[Double D]

Year hasnt started yet!!

So whats up with old Burnside?

 

[min0 lee]

That never made a difference.


He's not the same guy......old age is making him soft.

 

[Double D]

I'd take him if we had room. Now theres a team guy!

 

[min0 lee]

I was talking about The Boss.

 

[Double D]

Aw I see. Yeah he does seem to be gettin soft.

 

[min0 lee]

Aw I see. Yeah he does seem to be gettin soft.

I am scared to think what the team will be if he left.

 

[Double D]

Would probably be a normal team. But with better results, because NY'ers will not have their Yanks suckin some ass.

 

[min0 lee]

Who knows how it will turn out, I do admire his devotion to his team. He invests his profits on his team.

 

[min0 lee]

It's good for baseball for the Yanks to be good......it gives the fans a team to root against.

 

[Double D]

No you mean its good for New Yorkers! Everyone around here absolutly hates the Yankees. Of course it does give them a team to hate, but then again we got the Cubbies!

I like the cubbies. Lots of history there, it would be nice to see them win one.

 

[Double D]

Not 4 me!!!

Now this is what I am talking about....history!

A present to DD.

<H3> 1920s: The first NL championship

The Cardinals built themselves into a winner during the mid-1920s, led by second baseman / manager Rogers Hornsby, the closest player the National League had, statistically speaking, to Babe Ruth. In 1926, the Cardinals won their first pennant in 39 years, and then shocked the baseball world by knocking off the powerful New York Yankees in seven games in the World Series. The storied Game 7 reached its climax in the seventh inning when the previous day's winning pitcher, the aging Grover Cleveland Alexander, was summoned in relief to face slugger Tony Lazzeri with the bases loaded (some fans feared that Alexander might have been a little "loaded" himself after celebrating the previous day's win). After giving up a long foul ball, "Ol' Pete" then struck out Lazzeri swinging on 3 low fastballs.
A closely-guarded secret at the time was that both men in that confrontation happened to suffer from epilepsy. The Yankees failed to mount any further rallies and that World Series was a winner for the Cardinals. Years later, a movie was made about Alexander's life titled The Winning Team (1952), starring Ronald Reagan.
The Cardinals fell just short in 1927, then won the pennant again in 1928, edging out the resurging Chicago Cubs and the perennially contending New York Giants. The Cardinals did not fare so well in the World Series, as the Yankees continued their dominance from 1927 and shot down the Cardinals in four straight.

Regardless, the stage was set for the new order of the National League. Innovative Cardinals General Manager Branch Rickey was establishing a minor league farm system that would produce great players and keep the Cardinals in contention for the next two decades.

Between 1926 and 1946, the Cardinals, Cubs and Giants would become fierce rivals, that trio winning 17 of the NL pennants to be had during those 21 seasons.

I just like to read the part where they beat the Cubs yet again!

 

[min0 lee]

I am into reading about oldtime baseball, so much rich history.
