It's because we have a shitload of guys who aren't willing to wait on the pitch and roll all of their outside stuff over.

How cool would it be to get this guy for a 12th round pick?

DRAFT PICK WILSON STOPS BY
Austin Wilson, a very well-regarded outfielder from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California who the Cardinals were able to draft in the 12th round because everyone is expecting him to go to Stanford in the fall, was at the ballpark, in uniform (though without a number), taking part in pregame drills on the field -- until they were curtailed by the rain -- and schmoozing with players and team officials. Wilson's BP session got rained out, but he hit in the cages. Allen Craig, a graduate of Cal, Stanford's cross Bay rival, was showing Wilson around.
Consider it a recruiting trip.
"He's here to work out," VP of scouting and player development Jeff Luhnow said. "We're glad he took this opportunity to be in town and meet with the front office and see what it's like to be out on the field and get a taste of Busch Stadium. We're hoping we put our best foot forward and add to his information about making his decision. He's got a decision to make in the next month or so."

I may have already said it, but I'd use our first round money on Wilson if necessary.

If we don't get Cox signed, we'll get an extra first rounder next season for our troubles. So if comes down to Cox or Wilson and a first round pick, the easy answer is Wilson.

He's a dynamite talent.

Well, Roy III is letting Garcia off the hook by hitting Hamels with the bases loaded in a tie game.

EDIT: He DID let Garcia off the hook.

And Holliday unties the game.

:facepalm:

Christ, we need a 2nd baseman. Badly.

Skip really needs to ****ing die.

Tony's trying to outsmart himself again.

Now you're looking at 3 pitchers for 3 different batters, when McClellan could have stayed in the game, walked Howard, and pitched to Werth.

Franklinhausen gets out of it, but he likely won't be available tomorrow.

Franklin was nails. We are going to miss him. Look how far we have come from IZZY.

NP, another Waino CG sounds good to me.

Did anyone else get that mental illness commercial with Glenn Close?

Anyone else think it's ****ing hilarious that Glenn Close - who's best known for playing some bat-shit crazy roles - is the spokesperson for mental illness awareness/compassion?

Supposed to be a heat index of 107 here tomorrow afternoon.

Not counting on a CG.

Another pitcher who cant throw the ball after fielding it. We need those 2 runs right now.

Mott and Mcclanhan can handle 2 innings with a 3-4 run lead.:thumb:
