Well really to me there is only one place to begin with this team.   THANK YOU.   Did we have the greatest talent at all positions?  NO  Did we we always play the smartest?  NO

Were we a fun bunch of KIDS to watch grow and perform?     YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

T-Will thanks for growing and becoming a joy to watch on the court.  I can't think of anyone I've taken more pleasure in watching play and grow.

A McGee thanks for getting the most out of everything you had.  You deserved to start over Sosa and you played amazingly this year.

E5 take that talent and what you've learned from your less talented breathern and explode when you get to the NBA.  Thanks for spending on more year in LVille and providing us with your talent and brilliance.

Samardo, Jerry, PK, TJ, et al.   Take this lesson and this pain and bring it back next year to compete, to learn, to strive for another great season. 

THANK YOU 2009 Louisville Cardinals you brought a range of emotions and WE WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF YOU!

Did anyone hear Lou on the radio this morning?  I was at work and didn't hear a lot of the comments.  Two that I did catch paraphrasing:

"The team is too similar 1-8 right handed, slow"

On Fukodme:  talked to a lot of people involved with Japanese baseball and they think the combination of not playing a full season in Japan in 07 due to surgery combined with the move to MLB hurt him.  Lou talked of adjusting the training schedule to be more Americanized and being familiar with the league as reasons to be postive going forward. 

Lou did make comments on Gregg and how to improve being too right handed and slow but missed them.
