Why does it seem that every year we get stuck with a pitcher who's supposed to be the answer to our woes, and he COMPLETELY blows it for the season? Examples last year are Anthony Reyes and Kip Wells especially. I mean, Kip Wells was just HORRIBLE for us as a

Jimmy Ballgame has officially passed his physical and has become a rival Chicago Cub. I don't know about you but I think this deal sucks. When we play the Cubbies on July 4th, I can not and will not give him any kind of ovation. If he were to be wearing any different uniform then yes I would give him an ovation. But not in Cubbie blue. This deal, like Bernie Miklasz said in today's arti
Finally Izzy is going to be placed on the DL or sent to the minors. He has single handedly put this team into a funk. I hope the Cardinals bring up Perez.
T. Johnson will be having surgery so his season is most likely over.

With plenty of other pitchers to choose from in the bullpen, TLR lets yet another game get away (Thursday to the Pirates)...6 outs away from a well earned win...give Izzy the ball for a third of an

SD released him....injury prone, batting under 200. Think ol Jimmy is done? If so, he had a GREAT career. I hope he retires a Cardinal. (One day contract)
