Its only a 2 year deal, nothing long term that will handcuff us from spending on other players

LOL, who care at HOF inductions... World Series titles are far more satisfying as a fan then seeing a player make the HOF

as a player, your success is measured as an individual. Otherwise nobody would give a damn about ARod, Bonds or Trout.

So do you think players would trade HOF inductions for 2 WS?

timhollerbach · 10-23-2013, 08:17 PM

Anything after 1, yes

All of those Braves pitchers have a WS.

Name 2 pitchers on the 1968 World Series champion. The one you can probably name? He's known because he was a Cy Young and MVP award winner, not because he won the WS.

Denny McClain who lost to Bob Gibson in Game 1 and Mickey Lolich who beat Bob Gibson in Game 7.

ALMOST TIME! Go Cards!

Go Blue · 10-23-2013, 11:37 PM

Still so pissed 2 slams beat us. Our starting pitching was sick and I look forward to next year.

Credit Beltran for not pulling a Hunter and taking a stage dive over the wall. Nice catch.

Yes. I think the vast majority of players would.

Hmm... it does look like Lester has some foreign substance in his glove and is seen rubbing his fingers on it before a pitch.

I was just getting ready to post a link to that also.......I'm a Cards fan, and not jumping on the bandwagon saying we got cheated, the Cards just didn't show up, maybe its game 1 jitters, who knows......too many young rookies on the team that haven't been there before, but its no excuse for the type of play they exhibited last night.....but its a long series, hopefully they settle down.

Here is the link I seen about the "foreign substance".....interesting that another Boston pitcher was accused earlier this year.

Aaron Boone & Lou Merloni this morning on WEEI in Boston think it's was most likely pine tar/sticky substance. Both of them said it's no big deal , Merloni said he used to put it on his glove for a better grip.

It's common in the game and they said the pitchers on the Cards are probably doing it too.

Merloni said it was not cheating and very common in the game , also the minor league pitcher deleted his tweets after a call from High up in the Cardinal organization.
