Looks like what the Chicago Cubs have done for pitching injuries (see Exhibits A and B), the St. Louis Cardinals continue to do for substance abuse (see Exhibits A, B, and C). But Rick Ankiel did hit a home run.

Spezio always struck me as looking more like a member of the band Metallica than a member of a band of baseball players. Maybe Spezio and Neifi can now get together and compare notes, now that Neifi has been caught for a third time. I think he is out for 80 games now. It might as well be forever. I think he surely has to be done at this point. At least unless and until Dusty finds another job as a manager. I am sure that Neifi will be his starting shortstop.

Wow, hadn't even heard about that. Guess they'll only be celebrating Scott Spiezio Day on the east side of Joliet this year, eh?

Yea... I am going to say that making fun of people with substance abuse problems is not very funny. Especially one that died because of it.

dont be a child Was that to me? Sorry that is bothers you that I don't find it funny. Substance abuse really isn't a funny thing, which should be pretty obvious considering one of the links was about a player dying. I fail to see the humor.

Dave, The point of the post was that this seems to be a recurrent problem in the Cardinals organization, starting at the top. As for "making fun of people," LaRussa and Hancock--Hancock in particular, who could well have killed the driver of the tow truck he barreled into--chose to put innocent people's lives at risk when they got behind the wheel. Pardon my insensitivity.

as we discovered in Parachat last night, I'm morally bankrupt, that must be why I chuckled. there's another post up btw, mostly site news though.

The point of the post was that this seems to be a recurrent problem in the Cardinals organization, starting at the top. 3 guys is a recurrent problem? And... did they choose to put innocent people's lives at risk? Sure... but that is not the point. It is pretty simple. Substance abuse is not a funny thing.

Ohman... "if I could get people out at the major league level, I would." Thanks Will.

Ohman... "I kept the pain with the doctors and I." i.e. The team did not know... "I was not going to get any worse as much as it just was going to be painful." He said it had/has been painful for 3 months.

IMHO: Absolutely anything has the potential to be funny to someone. Absolutely nothing has the potential to be funny to everyone. Except footballs to the groin, which is universal.

IMHO: Absolutely anything has the potential to be funny to someone. Absolutely nothing has the potential to be funny to everyone. That is fair.

Chad, a fellow U of IL grad? Well, I-L-L to you sir. Though I'm happy to say I never set foot in Kam's.

I-N-I !!!! I used to work at the Clybourne. WHEN IT OPENED! It's been a many moon since I was a fixture on Daniels street. I'm gonna take it that you were not in a fraternity.

What does Trans know about humor, he didn't appreciate "The Cubs are trying to keep up withe Jones." Phillistine.

    now that cooper is gone, who's going to the IL?  seems like it will probably be a pitcher at this point.

    can't wait to see what A-ball fringe corner OF/1st he'll be traded for...

    Cooper DFA'd

    Players on the 40 can be recalled and be placed on the MLB Taxi Squad for one day, like for example if a club is unsure if a player might or might not be placed on the IL ("game time decision"). Like maybe Happ, for example. 

    Also, a player on the MLB Taxi Squad must be returned to his optional assignment the next day if he is not officially recalled to the 26-man roster. 

    The player is NOT paid at the MLB split rate and does NOT accrue MLB Service Time while he is on the Taxi Squad. Also, it is not considered to be an official recall / option back if he is not added to the 26-man roster. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Wesneski has not spent 15 days on optional assignment since he was optioned so he cannot be recalled unless he is replacing a player being placed on the IL or other MLB inactive list (Paternity, Bereavement / Family Medical, et al), a player who is traded, or a player who is claimed off waivers.

    excited to see more power in the lineup.

    HOU going with 3 righty starters vs the cubs and their only lefty pen arm is hader.

    unless busch has a mystery injury, we should see busch+mervis working all 3 games.

    More than 50 years ago (I'm old), I was in the audience when my HS choir performed the whole thing. (It was a really elite choir and director.) That was my first exposure to the piece. You're right, Sonicwind75, there is a lot more to it than "O Fortuna," just like there's a lot more to Beethoven's Ninth than the Ode to Joy, etc. Much if it, as you say, is bawdy: "O! O! Totus florio! Iam amori virginali, totus ardeo!" Basically, "I'm really horny for these virgins!" And the guys in the choir adopted the "Skoal"- type greeting from the tavern scene: "Wafna!"

    i would have pause if the cubs had a pitching squeeze.   as it is, they have more guys than they have roster.

    Maybe Brewer

    He'd be able to leave the Cubs. He's out of options. That would open up a 40man spot.

    I don't think Jed would do that.

  • crunch (view)

    brewer has done nothing to keep him on the big league roster...imagine that's 1 guy gone.

    yeah, it's only 2 appearances, but they were both unimpressive.
