From your cubs site:

"If the engines on the Cardinals plane went out on their way to San Francisco for the ALCS one of their [expletive] payers would probably hop out onto the wings and manually restart the engines and safe the [expletive] day. I [expletive] hate them."

"To recap the last calendar year plus for the cardinals:

-get into playoffs after braves suffer one of the greatest collapses in history.
-beat heavily favored phillies, whose bats completely fall asleep.
-win world series over favored rangers after rangers blow a pair of two-run leads in game six. top performers include people named allen craig and david freese.
-make the playoffs in 2012 as a team that wouldn't have made the playoffs in any other year since major league baseball began.
-win "play-in" game after a disputed call and horrendous defense by the opposing team.
-win game five of NLDS after very good opposing starter struggles to hold lead, very good opposing bullpen melts down, and people named daniel descalso and peter kozma overcome a two-run deficit in the ninth inning. "

Meh. I don't even care about the 1 game playoff win... I don't agree with that format at all, anything can happen in 1 game and this isn't football where people are beating the shit out of each other so wtf is there a 1 game playoffs series. But it's not like you can guarantee the Cards don't win the game anyways.

What use would the Royals have for a guy that throws 100 mph with an 82 mph snapdragon slider and a 78 mph change?

(Seriously, Trevor Rosenthal makes me rock hard - that kid has the filthiest stuff in the system. According to the PD, he's gonna train with Carp this off-season. If you give Trevor 1/2 the rage/drive of Carp, he'd never freakin' lose)

He had a 159 OPS+ last year with the Giants, I think its just a case for old guys with bad knees are apparently the current FA arbitrage.

Cubs tears always taste delicious.

He's going to spend the off season working out with Carp in St. Louis.

Beltran was fantastic for the Giants last season. He had a .323/.369/.551 line for them to add to the .289/.391/.513 line that he had for the Mets prior to that. 2 years/26M was an incredible bargain for a hitter of his caliber despite the injury concerns.

Whu?

Carlos Beltran raked in SF last year.

Your point stands - it was injuries (notably his knees). But he was a damn fine hitter with SF last season.

I...uh...think I said that in the post you quoted.

But hey - AWESOME!

Sorry dude, I'm getting wood thinking of that kid's natural talent getting an infusion of Carp's mental toughness?:thumb:

If he goes all "Carp mad! Carp Smash!" with 100 mph gas, he might just kill someone out there...

By someone, you mean the hearts and souls of America.

Pretty much, yeah.
