Comments on: Cardinals September call-up results http://thecardinalnationblog.com/2009/10/30/cardinals-september-call-up-results/ Brian Walton's news and commentary on the St. Louis Cardinals (TM) and their minor league system Thu, 24 May 2012 21:58:28 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Axcion http://thecardinalnationblog.com/2009/10/30/cardinals-september-call-up-results/#comment-6199 Axcion Fri, 30 Oct 2009 22:35:30 +0000 http://thecardinalnationblog.com/?p=5301#comment-6199 Didn't we ruffle each others feathers enough over this issue Brian? Is this your way of saying; 'I told you so!' My feeling is that you take the best possible team into the playoffs if you want to keep going. Tony has always been too loyal to his vets to go against that. This year was a perfect example. Our bench was horrible; Tony had a chance to upgrade with Freese and Craig but didn't and look what happened. You could say....the expected. Our offense fell on their faces and no one was their to back them up. So while you still claim to be right that more callups wouldn't have gotten a chance to play; I still claim to be right that others should have been given the opportunity to upgrade the team. Let's just call this a stalemate and move on. ((: Didn’t we ruffle each others feathers enough over this issue Brian? Is this your way of saying; ‘I told you so!’

His history is so "compromised", why even start down that road. " Yeah I experimented with some of things that other players were trying. It wasn't illegal at the time. I'm happy about baseballs new fair play guidelines, and I encourage all players to abide by them" Enough said. You are likely right BB.

We don't have to talk about that. We'll clean it up and you'll be ready to go in a few weeks.' If I had the Tommy John, I would have had to miss half the (2010) season. But with the (minor) surgery they did, I'll be ready to go by spring training, so I'm excited about that." This took a while to surface. I would say Albert/Tony have put the ball firmly in Mo/BD's court. Everyone is happy now...................so who are we? I'm a little surprised that no one noticed some of the storyline faults in the witch hunt articles. The good one is " we were able to match player with test results using information found on a Long Beach laboratory computer". Apparently someone wasn't telling the truth about anonymity safeguards. The time line says a bunch about political motivations, and I would speculate that the late developing "chastising leak of A-rod's name" is a clear indication of some special MLB interests having a hand in this. I always thought it was a slap on the hand against NY for breaking ranks with the salary collusion understanding by spending 250 million on 3 players. I see now that I was wrong. It was a final chastisement against NY from the Bush nasties for almost blowing the wonderful financial strategies used to hide tax free money in the new stadium scam. The Yankee owners were so greedy in the end they were inviting a full federal investigation of their ball park financing. If you wrote a piece on this Brian, you probably get famous, or dead.
