So, let's see. Our big rivals from the Windy City follow-up their division title with an off-season that sees them sign a fan favorite away from the Cardinals, dump Jason Marquis off on an unsuspecting Rockies organization, and sign a player who put up better numbers than the AL MVP.
Oh, and they will still make another run at getting Jake Peavey.
As for the Cardinals....umm...let's see....do we talk up the shortstop who hit under .230 for about $6 million? Maybe the reliever with the ERA on the upside of 8.00? And how about taking a run at Jake Peavey ourselves? No, sorry, too rich for our blood, but rumor has it there is a left hander in an Venezuelan beer league we have an eye on. Keep those fingers crossed!
Oh, and of course we get near daily reminders from the Card's front office informing us all that it is WE who are the jerks for believing they aren't doing a bang up job.
Boy, don't *I* feel chastened.
