Okay, we St. Louis Baseball Cardinals fans know that our Cardinals brass made two hearty financial offers, which fell on the deaf ears of pitcher David Price (now with Boston) and Cub-bound outfielder, Jason Heyward. That would indicate what we all knew...we need another front line pitcher in our rotation and a quality outfield hitter.
Lo' and behold, last week General Manger, John Mozeliak boldly announced, "Dynamic signing unlikely for Cardinals." This old Redbirds-faithful has followed the Cardinals since the infield had Musial, Schoendienst, Kurowski and Marion with Walker, Moore and Slaughter in the outfield...Del Rice and Joe Garagiola splitting the catching duties from the likes of Munger, Lanier, Pollett, Dickson, Brecheen and closer, Ted Wilkes. I suppose I am to accept this verbal-shell-game!
This announcement on the heels of NOT signing Price and/or Heyward can only mean one of three things: (1) The Cardinals don't need what they were prepared to pay a combined $275,000,000.00 for or (2) Ownership suddenly came out of a momentary mentally lapse remembering that they are ultra-conservative folks with an insatiable love of money or (3) Recalled that Cardinals fans show up no matter what product is on the field. Personally, I believe it is a combination of the latter two.
That said, don't crap me!
