A's go again--Mulder to the Cardinals

[POJO_Risin]

Okay...I heard earlier today that the A's were set to deal all three of their top starters...

I thought it was a joke...

now, obviously...it's not...

and look at the Cards now...

freakin Mulder at the top of that rotation...

Morris, Carpenter, Marquis and Suppan...

all three won 15 games or more...unfucking believable...

The Cards set up their lineup...and got the guy they needed last year...

they gave up some prospects...but nothing that they would have seen this year...or in the near future...

WOW...

now to figure out how he didn't win after his 17th win...

[redblkwht]

Game on for Jim Hendry of the Cubs now..they definatly need a spalsh
pick up for sure or their done..in my eyes the Cards are the fronrunner again as of now. Cubs #2 in the NL central.:(
They need a big counter, im sure he knows this. BIG TIME.

[POJO_Risin]

But who...

I don't think there's any doubt that St. Louis is the team to beat...probably before the deal...with that offense...

Chicago needs to do a lot more than 1 big splash...

[POJO_Risin]

Especially with their fragile pitching...and losing Clement won't help either...

their top two get hurt when the wind goes wrong...their #3 is Maddux...and he's 102...well...I guess Maddux is #4...behind Zambrano...

he may end up their number 1...

[POJO_Risin]

But their sticks blow...

they better get Beltran...and keep Sosa...the cancer...

[redblkwht]

The cards still need a SS..Renteria will come back at that loss, i see him
being huge in Boston, that lineup is looking good too.

[POJO_Risin]

You've gotta think that Cabrera is going to end up there...

tit for tat...Renteria was really a non-factor last year...I think Cabrera could actually make that lineup better...

Defensivly absolutly, cards aint gonna pay, from waht ive read..

[POJO_Risin]

Well...like I said...I think that they'll be fine without him...Renteria is the real deal...but he didn't provide them with Renterialike stats last year...trust me...I had him on my fantasy team...

so perhaps they are thinking they can get away from that with a cheap pickup...

Fuck Beltran?

dude...the Cubs offense is putrid...

[POJO_Risin]

and Cabrera CAN have a good stick...and bring a little speed to that position...

word on the Cubs is Maggs & JD..2 for 1 deal instead of beltran $
thay can fill the 2 holes..in the OF same money.

[POJO_Risin]

I can't see Maggs and JD coming in at less than Beltran...

although Beltran does want 20 million...a year...which he won't get unless the Yanks get him...

is in the game for carlos dude? i only see the yankees paying.
Big week for the braves..holy moly.

[POJO_Risin]

Beltran?

I would say NY...still the Cubs...whether they admit it or not...and the Astros...

I think the Cubs will get in it...especially now...

This pick up in St louis will force Jim Henrdys hand trust me..
he has to now, its inevitable. IMO id do the maggs & JD same money.
platoon the kid with JD in left.

[POJO_Risin]

Platoon Drew?

Why would you give a guy 10 million plus to platoon?

guy gets hurt alot, give him 2 days off a week..nothing wrong with that
better than playing alou every damn day.

[POJO_Risin]

I think the Mets may be a player in the Beltran deal...but perhaps just to drum it up so the Yanks have to pay a shiteload of money...

[POJO_Risin]

That's a lot of money for a guy who's going to miss 1/3 of the games...

have fun bro- good luck!:cool:

Didn't I just say not more than a few days ago that either Zito or Mulder was next ??

And the A's get a couple of scrubs for him ??

Sheesh, did Littlefield go to Oakland to make this deal ?? ;)

Aaaah it's lovely, the rich get richer indeed.....

The only question now is whether Zito will leave this offseason or next....

Horrible...

[POJO_Risin]

LMFAO...Va never fails to remind us...if you said it...I wasn't paying attention...I read an article a few days ago saying that...but I didn't see it from you...lmfao...

I have no problem with that deal to be honest...Oakland obviously wasn't going to do anything with those three pitchers...or they'd have done it already...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

LOL, they might as well trade Zito and get it over with....

It's inevitable...
