Who exactly is running the Cardinals Organization...LaRussa or the GM. I have my suspicions. This should be entertaining to watch. I think there is a 50/50 chance that Big Mac does not make it to opening day.

It is not about you Bud....it is about what is best for the game.

If Dave Duncan does not re-up with the birds next year, I would like to see Hendry pursue him. His abilty to shine a pitching turd is unbelievable.

...I am surprised that this dude is still part of the Cubs Organization (albeit not allowed to play). I would have assumed that they cut ties with the guy.

A STL view of our recent struggles.....enjoy or not.

Interesting thing I saw in the article alluded to Fukudome having elbow issues last year and it affecting his mechanics.

I read this story and I am always flabbergasted why the people of the surrounding community don't want to see the Cubs Organization and the Cubs Brand grow.

As a local, I want this ballpark village to happen so that the game day experience is better but as a Cubs fan I love that this patch of earth has turned into a punchline.

IMO, this further proves Selig's inablity to be a good leader. Any good leader knows not to start pointing fingers/laying blame on other people for things that happened under his or her watch. It serves no real purpose and It is only going to further undermine their credibility with the people that they are trying to lead/inspire.

His simple statement should have been: I take responsibility for not doing a better job of getting this issue under control prior to it steamrolling out of control. As the leader of MLB and for our fans, it is my responsibilty to ensure that all 30 teams put a quality product on the field within the rules of baseball and the laws of the United States. I failed that principle and for that I truly apologize. I hope that our recent testing and continued efforts to improve that testing will help to restore the image of MLB in the eyes of its fans and its employees.

Still no Aramis. Other than that, the usually cast of characters.
