Wow wait to contradict yourself in the same post. First you call me out for complaining about the ridiculous luck the Cards have gotten in journeyman/lightning in the bottle candidates over the past twenty years, and then call me out for saying every deal is going to be like the Maholm deal. Pick a lane dude.

pick a lane? really? I did.

I basically stated that you are in denial if you think that "We don't get lucky like the Cardinals when it comes to stuff like that. " because if you believe their success over the years with resurrgent players, unexpected youngsters etc is all luck that you are a fool.

my last statement was sarcasm....I dont know but im pretty sure there was a lot of ZZZZs in the statement.....let me scroll up....yep....lots of ZZZZs...sorry it wasnt green. everytime the cubs sign any pitcher that has a pulse....fans always say the same thing about mahalomn.

ps--- if the cubs where to have that cardinals like success with their players year in and year out....would you call it luck? I bet not.

Whatever dude, I've gone through the list before with you. How much you want to bet Lance Berkman falls off a cliff this year? Care to check out Tony Womack's career? The Cards are a class organization, but if a Cards fan is going to come in here and talk about the D-Train magically returning to be a Cy Young candidate I am going to call a spade a spade.

But whatever continue to build up strawman arguments and diversions from actually responding to a point.

I think I pretty much stayed on topic. maybe I was a bit sarcastic but I was on topic.

FACT: you called the cards lucky. Not something i would expect from someone who is intelligent like yourself to state.

And the backhanded compliments come out. I didn't realize I was so honored to receive those from you. I talked about one particular situation in which I feel the Cards have been luckier than the Cubs. I feel like I have a pretty strong case supporting that point. I have many times acknowledged the facts that the Cards have been a better run franchise throughout history, and I really don't see how that off the cuff statement implied that the Cards entire success as a franchise is attributed to luck.

We crushed this guy game 4 of the 2003 NLCS. He's no good. Best case scenario it's a Paul Maholm type deal.

He's not even getting a guaranteed invite to big league spring training. This isn't a big deal. If it works, jazz hands. If not, oh well.
