Sox or Cards. Staying healthy, he could have a very good year.

That's the mantra of every owner. It's half the game of baseball.

Not all injuries are avoidable. That said, I'm thinking a good trainer and a good pitching coach are worth as much as a decent position player. It's time to start paying for good talent behind the field, and time for the players (and managers) to start listening.

That's the Christmas wish of every manager and owner.

Oops oops!!!

The Cardinals and Red Sox both have a need for an OF, both could give Beltran days off, and both have winning traditions and are expected to contend next season.

Either way, sounds good.

Isn't it ironic that Carlos Beltran was able to stay healthy in his walk year?

It was the timing of his surgery, forknut. Nothing more.

I would think Boston sounds better, to the tune of three years and 40+ million dollars. I don't think the Cards will give him that kind of contract.

The Night Before Christmas

by clems polyp


Twas the night before Christmas, when all through FanNation
Not a creature was stirring, they're all on vacation.
The panties were bunched by the chimney with care,
In the hopes that St Lou soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in there beds,
While visions of pot plants danced in Atro's big head.
And Cat in her 'teddy' and Bad Dog in his cap,
Had just addled their brains with something from barkeep's tap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I took 3 more Advils so my head wouldnt shatter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up my stash.

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow,
Gave a hard-on to Rex who was ready to go.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a boozed up Chasin, smelling like month old beer.

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When JR meets a sheep, he mounts it, Oh my.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of Bagels, and CSF too.

And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The squealing and and pawing of poor Mooses hoof.
As she pulled in my head (no teeth please) and was turning around
Down the chimney Mongo came with a bound.

WWJ was dressed in tight leather, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with latex and soot.
A bundle of bacon he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a pedophile, just looking to attack.

Dum Dum's eyes were quite sunken, his dimples were scary,
His cheeks were like roses, he'd had too much sherry.
His droll little mouth was drawn up in a smirk,
Then brotha jumped out and called him "A JERK".

The stump of a pipe Mondo held in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
Yapp had a broad face, and some nice reddish fur,
Sarge put him in his place and called him a cur.

Schad was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
Who liked when he travelled to play with himself.
He kicked Slink in the nuts, and twisted his head(kinky!),
But Justin gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

PK spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
He posted some images and we called him a jerk.
and laying his finger inside of his nose,
Geeech gave us a nod, up the chimney he rose.

Sith sprang to his sleigh, gave the Empire a whistle,
He then dropped his pants, we could all see his thistle.
But we heard him exclaim, 'ere he drove out of site,
"I find your lack of faith disturbing, and to all a good night."

As a Cards fan, I certainly hope they don't give him that kind of money

Agreed. $22 for 2 years with maybe an option year is about as far as I would go.
