Lou leave the North Side? I think I speak for all of the Cubs fans (and this is coming from a Cardinals fan, mind you), but are you ******* crazy? He's staying put.

Posted Monday September 22, 2008, About: Rangers face tough call on Bradley
He deserves an offer from the Rangers. He still has pop in his bat. If he doesn't land in TX, I am sure he will land elsewhere
Posted Saturday September 20, 2008, About: Kennedy responds after trade request
If there is a GM that was watching last nite that needs a 2B, you may have found your player. I respect his decision and don't necessarily blame him for wanting to play everyday.
Posted Saturday September 20, 2008, About: La Russa: Cubs should celebrate title
Tony is a real class act. Like he said, I would celebreate each step of the way.
Posted Sunday September 07, 2008, About: Is this Big Hurt's last season?
Frank, you've had a good career. IT's time for HOF
Posted Sunday September 07, 2008, About: Tigers, Cards favorites to land K-Rod
Still, it would be nice to land K-Rod. As TenRings said, the Cardinals changes are slim to none. But if we want to come to the Cards, who's to say I'm gonna stop him?
Posted Friday September 05, 2008, About: La Russa expects 'impact' help
TenRings, you brought up a very valid point. Tony is letting the teams brass now we need help and fast.

Looper has been a pretty good pitcher in the starting roatation. Springer has been shaky at times but has shown promise for the future with the team. And Izturis has a 'never say die' attitude. You can tell he puts his heart and soul into the game. Whether he is offered a multi year contract remains to be seen. He has become an instant fan fave. Wellemeyer I feel can anchor the starting rotation along with Wainwright, among others. Ankiel and Ludwick (who is an NL MVP canidate) will probably garner a multi year deal. Terms to be negotiated.

Most will agree with this this: the bullpen needs the most help. With the downfall of recent games, we can't rely on mediocre outings by the bullpen. It would be nice to have Izzy back, but with his Tommy John-esque surgery, his future with the team and possibly with baseball, is in doubt.

The brass knows whats on their plate. They just need to know how to handle it with what is available.
