Exactly the kind of guy Dave Duncan could have made successful. Exactly the type of inning eater that the Cards needed. Exactly the type of affordable contract that the StL front office claims to seek. Exactly the kind of player they fail to land because they are LYING and they're not really trying to improve the club at all. 4148898 2009-01-29T09:14:10-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/410/414/thumb/jose-mourinho.jpg 76 MA Jose_Mourinho_is_God Boston 410854 13 And yea, Dunn is priced way out of their/our league.

Even with a price cut, well you do the math. 4148752 2009-01-29T06:13:52-05:00 7 Tx freelance Wimberley 610615 11 I find it interesting that they said they couldn't afford Randy Johnson even though he was willing to take a pay cut, yet they some how found the money for Garland. I guess it was just hot air to say, &quot;Sorry, Randy we don't want you any more.&quot; Why is everything so two faced in Baseball? 4148229 2009-01-28T20:23:34-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/654/875/thumb/Arnold-747438.bmp.jpg 941 VA Get to da Choppah!
