I was shocked when I heard Freese was leaving. Another is too, but I didn't recognize the name. Oh, and did you hear Chris Carpenter (aka Carp) has retired from the MLB?
My dad seems under the impression that Beltran is leaving too, but I sure hope not! We've already lost, or are in the midst of losing, quite a few players!
(first Pujols (sp?) a year or so back. Now Freese, and a few others...)
See... this is why I find it hard to keep our roster straight! It feels like every time I learn the whole thing (or at least know all the
big names), and get favourites, somebody (or a couple) leave! It's obnoxious. Oh, well... are the new players we're getting as replacements any good?
....
Also, is it too early to be sick of football? (not that I cared to begin with) I miss baseball, and can never seem to catch the hockey games.
......
Edited to add:
Don't worry the Cardinals have been good, are good, and will remain good, with no end in sight to the pattern because they continue to be so effective not only at developing their own players, but at making trades that fit in with their general philosophy.
Thanks for that,
Impending Doom! It meant a lot, and made me feel better. I'm sure
SnowAngel would agree with me.
And wow,
Varna, that's cool!
