jeffersonlives posted:Yes, that's another reason this isn't an official retirement. Ah ok. I'm glad StL has a solid group of young guns to come up, however... next year the rotation is looking like. Wainwright Lynn Westbrook Miller Kelly/Rosenthal Uhhhh, hopefully Miller arrives strongly.

Jack Morris is joining the Blue Jays radio team (instead of Dirk Hayhurst) and will be doing around 30 games on TV with Buck Martinez. Guess I'll be watching more games on mute than usual this year.

Lohse should only be signed by the Cardinals for the same amount as the qualifying offer. Not a single penny more or less. That would be really funny.

That game was incredible. Ryan Howard squared up on a 3-0 pitch and just missed it, hitting it to the RF track. The first pitch in the 9th inning was smoked to dead center by Utley, and probably is at least extra bases if to any other part of the park/it's not negative a million Furcal makes a ridiculous play to his left to throw out Chooch The Cardinals load the bases with 1 out in the 8th, and Halladay proceeds to K Berkman and get a weak fly from Holliday Ryan Howard grounds out to 2nd to end the game and is writhing around in pain at the start of his new contract all while Pujols has his back turned to home plate and is loving screaming at Nick Punto to throw him the loving ball. Like, I understand why Phillies fans hate that game--it's the baseball version of That loving Yzerman Goal to Blues fans--but it's probably the best postseason game I've ever watched.

Gonna miss Carpenter, it was awesome to watch him yell at dudes for the dumbest of reasons  I wonder if there's any chance of retiring his number after he is officially retired. Or at least only allow players with anger management issues to use it

Guess I'll be watching more games on mute than usual this year. I can't believe the Twins didn't bring him in if he wanted to do radio. Not that Dan Gladden isn't decent, but Morris lives in the area and has been doing Winter Caravan stops and other events with the team for a few years now- up to and including sitting in the Twins bullpen telling me the story of pitching against Mike Norris of the A's back in the 80's and Tiger hitters getting so tired of seeing his spitball he decided to load a few up to strike out Rickey Henderson. Billy Martin went nuts but the umpires ignored him since Norris was getting away with murder. Not a hall of famer, but I like Jack Morris.

Dan Gladden is a good color guy when he doesn't try to talk about statistics or roster makeup. (I kind of wish they would replace him)

Retiring Carpenter's number is certainly possible because the Cardinals retired Gussie Busch's age.

Jack Morris calling games with Dan Gladden was the loving worst. All he and Dan would do is talk about how awesome they were and they'd miss half the calls in the game. Between John Gordon getting old and losing the counts all the time, Jack Morris talking about himself and Kris Atteberry's godawful sounding voice, we're happy here in MN with Cory Provus.

Provus is pretty good overall, I wish Herb Carneal was still around. Cory and Herb would make a hell of an announce team.

A new MLB Network reality show will have Tim Wakefield attempting to convert Doug Flutie, John David Booty, Josh Booty, Ryan Perriloux, and David Greene into knuckleball pitchers. The winner of the show will get a NRI with the Diamondbacks. No, this is not an Onion article.

That's right, folks! Not one but two members of the Booty family! e: Gonna be hilarious if Doug Flutie wins, since he's even older than Wakefield. At least with some of the others there's a .01% chance of them providing value. Oh god, what if they have guest judges! "This week, the Angry Knuckler Challenge with guest judge R.A. Dickey.

Josh Booty as a prospect had so many absurd tools that after a season in which he hit .101/.182/.147 as a 20 year old in Low-A and was demoted back to the New York-Penn League where he hit a slightly better .220/.278/.352 (for a total line of .187/.251/.295), he still made BA's top 100 prospects list. I don't know that there's ever been a harder tools bust in modern prospecting history. Maybe Toe Nash.
