Here's a partial list of potential free-agent starters in the coming offseason market: CC Sabathia, Ben Sheets, Ryan Dempster, Jon Garland, Derek Lowe, Mike Mussina, Oliver Perez, Paul Byrd, Randy Wolf, Lohse and Looper.
For the Cardinals to have a shot in 2009, DeWallet must be pried open. [Carp may not be back.]

FSN still has not changed from yesterday's results, yet.

I'm going out. If I don't see the game out with friends,
I'll want to be back for the game.

Coop · September 20th, 2008, 11:37 AM

Nobody at Boscos , the Restaurant for Beer Lovers to watch the game.
I get home, I can't get a lineup on FSN, and they are on the field.
No lineup at stltday?

Anyway with the game starting,
maybe somebody will have something by the third inning. Tomorrow maybe?
Celerbration hangovers after yesterday's win? This is embarassing for a class organization.

FSN does not know that their network is broadcasting this game. Maybe next week FSN will find that they are telecasting this game today. ?

We battled hard today....Watching the Cubs celebrate will hopefully serve as motivation for us next season....we're not that far off....some additions, deletions, corrections and folks getting healthy and we'll be back where we belong....on top of the division.

Begins with pitching. The rotation and bullpen will need to be fortified.
