It wasn't Izzy on the mound either.

But we have found some good starting pitching, the bullpens been good. The new guys are hitting the ball solid. They are for real. Whether they win anything this year is still to be decided but the rebuilding is over. King Carl take notice.... 2006 - Win a World Championship 2007- Don't sign the older vets. Let high priced FA's go. Play the new guys and take your lumps. 2008 - Start contending again.

In 2007 we extended Edmonds, and Speizio, signed AK to a questionable contract and Wells to an awful one, played Juan E until his career was ended by an errant line drive, picked up guys like Mike Maroth to patch holes, etc... 2007 was a Carl Peterson season, a completely wasted abortion of a year. 2008 has some promise, but it's still a rebuild. It's still something of a house of cards as there are a bunch of quesionmarks and any hiccup could bring it tumbling down. However, this team will be reloaded and ready to win another championship in 2009. We're clearing about $42 million off the books and only losing Izzy and Looper as true contributors (sounds like Furcal money to me...). |

Mulder is coming to St Lou, but it is not to be on the roster...He has an appt with the Dr. to see about fatigue in his shoulder.
He's done. |

Ludwick and Ankiel are DA BOMB. Its so refreshing to see young players compete and perform. I guess the experts were wrong about TLR not being able to manage young
players. Lets see if the Cardinals pitching holds up.

What makes you think that's going to change now? Cubs fans can keep thinking our young, inexperienced lineup is going to implode any day now, and us Cardinal fans will keep enjoying taking 2 out of 3 games each series we play Chicago. |

We don't have Royals level of a payroll but we arn't the Yankess/Cubs either. We have overpaid for FA's but we have got more bargains than busts and our farm system has produced some talent for the major league club.
