Are the Cardinals seriously considering re-signing Waino? He was a great player for a long time, but he just doesn't have it anymore. He needs to hang it up.
If Mo does this, DeWitt should can his ass. |

Guess I don't completely hate it if its not much money and not expected as a starter. However, the obvious concern is giving him one of those living in the past deals and pencil in as a starter which is the last thing they should be doing with him looking washed.

But, as a starter. **** that. With a multi year contract? **** that.They have already sacrificed games to let him pitch this year.

It says this was the first year where the Cubs went through significant injuries for extended periods of time over the course of making their 4th straight post season with the previous 3 trips going to at least the NLCS. If anything the offensive collapse the Cubs went through during the 2nd half will light a fire under Theo's ass to finally trade some of the redundant players on the MLB roster for pieces that compliment the rest of the roster to make a complete team. Im also hopeful that after listening to his press conference he's getting an earful about Chili Davis because the Cubs went from a launch angle hitting coach to a guy who would rather see ground ball contact and the results speak for themselves. The Cubs stopped driving the ball in the air and in Theo's own words the offense "broke." |

Shut up with your injuries nonsense. You had 10 guys make over 450PA and your rotation had 3 guys make all 32 starts and a 4th did when you combine chatwood and hamels

Ya missing a MVP like Bryant for 1/3 of the season, a closer for half the season, and a starter for damn near a whole season aren't big deals at all.
Go back to suggesting one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball is basically the same as a top 10 staff. |

You aren't a top 10 staff and you didn't have injuries problems, tard
You just weren't nearly as good as you thought. Colorado agrees with me |

I've already posted the numbers that tell you that you are an idiot.
I believe there is a thread on this forum dedicated to the last place Royals. |

It may or may not end with 1 WS. It's only been 2 years since they won a WS and they were the first team to actually reach the playoffs after winning the WS since the Phillies?
They have Bryant and Rizzo locked up for 3 more years with a team still winning 95+ games a season. Let me know when the Royals and Cardinals make it to the post season again. |

In those same 2 years the Royals won the WS the Cardinals were eliminated by the Cubs in playoffs, never to be seen again. |
