He's now pitched three times since May 28. Also, Maness and Butler got crushed last night. Mujica pitched last night, Scroate pitched the 8th, and Kelly was still unavailable due to the spot start. So, unless you wanted to roll Siegrist out there after he got five outs yesterday, who are you going with?

She got to be with her hubby full time at the end. At least that's something.
I didn't know this but after Duncan lef tto be with his wife the Cardinal players were regular visitors to the duncan household at Table Rock. And the Cardinals continued to pay his salary this whole time even though the weren't legal obligated to pay.

Meanwhile, Clark Hunt used the lockout as an excuse to furlough dozens of employees and take away some of the very few perks of the job for concessionaires.

Here's an interesting exercise:
Assign odds to the percentage that Cardinals currently on the roster or on the DL will have their number retired. Caveat: player must be in at least their third year of service time.

I was thinking something similar until I checked how high the standards really are.

Yeah it would be pretty tough. I think Yadi has the best chance if he stays on the career route he's on right now.

How many times did he take some scrap heap player that they were paying nothing and turn them into a winner? He's earned that money. Earned or not, they didn't have to pay. Makes me glad at least one of my teams has some class.

There are hall of famers without their #'s retired. Thats a pretty damn high bar.

Waino and Carp will not make the Hall of Fame. How can you retire their #'s but not the Hall of Famers?
Yadi has the best chance at the hall now that he is hitting like an All-Star. He makes the Hall, his number is retired.

If Wainwright ends up winning 175 games (halfway there), closing out an LCS and a World Series, and winning a Cy Young (possible this year) he'd easily be the best pitcher the org has had since Bob Gibson. He's a lock to finish second in franchise history in Ks.
If Sutter's and Boyer's numbers are retired Yadi and Waino should get the same treatment (honestly, so should Carp).

I don't think Sutters would be retired if it weren't for Robinson.
