Mikolas' extension was just as stupid and unnecessary at the time. But yea the Carp extension was epic stupid.
The money we have paid Carp, Fowler, Mikolas, and that shitty ass lefty reliver (name escapes my mind) would have paid for a couple much better players. I think thats DJ's point. [Reply]

Cavalli throws gas, too - that's no bueno.
Wasn't televised today so I haven't seen anything on it. And by most accounts Cavalli didn't bring anything to the mound with him today so with any luck it was just a breaker that got away or something. [Reply]
13 positions players on the active roster and, after the eight starters, defined the bench as Albert Pujols, Corey Dickerson, infielder Edmundo Sosa, backup catcher Andrew Knizner, and left-handed hitting outfielder Lars Nootbaar. [Reply]
