Okay, I have now sufficiently recovered from the last three games of the NLCS.   Time to get started on 2013
For starters, Mozeliak has nearly all of his 2012 roster returning, with a few notable exceptions.  
 -   Lance Berkman and his $12M salary from last year will not be returning.   His knee problems have him thinking retirement.  With Allen Craig's advancement in 2012 and with Carlos Beltran signed for next year, there wouldn't have been an obvious spot for Lance to play anyway.    Always hate to see…

I was very saddened today to hear the news of the passing of Bob Forsch.   He was a mainstay of the Cardinal teams of my childhood....one of my first Cardinal heroes.
He was the only Cardinal to throw two no-hitters, and I remember vividly listening to the radio broadcast of each one.   I also remember well the 3-hit shutout gem he tossed at Atlanta in the first game of the 1982 NLCS, propelling the Cardinals on to Ring #9.   Just a true professional and a true Cardinal in every sense of the word.
I had occasion to meet Forsch briefly once in a corporate party…

Carp's Last Stand?

For months we've been reading article after article about this potentially being Pujols' last year in St. Louis and what that means for the future of the franchise.   While Albert's situation has the widest-ranging impact, somewhat lost in the shuffle is the fact that we may also be witnessing Chris Carpenter's last year wearing the Birds on the Bat.   And it likely has little to do with Carp's so-so start to 2011.
The Cardinals have a $15M option on Carp for 2012, with a $1M buyout.   That $14M bogey might prove to be too much to spend on Carp at this stage…

Do any of you think that the WS hero could be out in St. Louis after this season? My opinion is with Wong coming on the scene in 14 and with Carpenter a solid player it could make sense for it to happen.

Nice outing Ty Lyons.

Jaime done for the year with shoulder surgery. Is this the SI cover jinx at work?

I suspect it had less to do with Sanchez's arm/stuff, which i agree is nasty when he's on and more to do with attitude and work ethic.

Not sure I understand the move. I know Eduardo has fallen behind the slew of other young arms we have in the pecking order.....but he still has a good arm and is only 24. He has nasty stuff when he controls it.

I really thought they'd put Jaime on the 60 day DL to clear the spot for Lyons.

I would have rather they released Boggs than put Sanchez on waivers.

Eduardo Sanchez claimed off waivers by the Cubs ... talk about a swift decline.
CardinalPride25 05/21/13
I hope Matheny knows he doesn't have the equity TLR had with the Franklin situation. If Boggs blows up again, Matheny will deserve more blame.
