Also, I guess there aren't penalties anymore, just a hard cap.

If you sign a player that rejects a QO, you also lose some of your bonus pool money, $500K if under the tax, $1 million if over. You can also now trade for up to 75% of your bonus pool money, so in theory a team like the Cardinals could end up with around $11 million in bonus pool money if they made the right deals (might be a good way for a savvy team to rebuild given how much value minor league prospects hold now).

Matt Carpenter has been so ill with a stomach bug, he said he spent 40 hours in bed and wound up tweaking his back. With just six games left until the ASG, the team decided to put him on the IL. Expects to return July 12.

Jack can’t throw strikes against a bad team. He deserves a demotion to Memphis but this pitching staff is bad so I dunno what the fuck to do.

Ugh Flaherty. Learn to throw strikes early in the count.

Only Cardinals player I like since his walk up song is "Long Hot Summer Day" by the Turnpike Troubadours.

Whipped the Cubs again and it feels so good. All those bandwagon Cubs fans were in mourning.

Newsflash, Mo being a moron doesn't cancel out Matheny being a moron.

Just figured getting rid of those Bible Studies and favoritism would turn things around. 41-42.

On this everyone agrees but Cubs fans. They are far removed from the lovable loser era. We are well into the arrogant pricks era.

They also traded away about 10 WAR of production right after that firing for essentially 0 in return.

I would DFA O'Neill right now. No need to have him on the 40 man. An outright release would be fine. He's not a baseball player.

If this team cant manage more than three hits against Mike Leake they might as well call it a season and start playing golf early.
