He'll be gone next year...

A big FU to Bill Simmons and Keith Law....

I'd much rather read the dirt

than the prerecorded rosy picture answers usually given by players in interviews.

Always like him.

It was a shame we had to let him go, but Frankie is certainly the man, so that worked out. Nice that he may start, too bad the Cards sucked so bad this year.

Perciva's day

He did started and just went the 1st inning - 2K and 1 H. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't see it, just read the box score.

He ended the year with a 1.80 ERA (with140 ABs)and opponents hit .171 against him in the NL.

Wouldn't you like to have him on our post season bullpen roster?

i would.

It was great to see Percy on the mound again - although it was very odd seeing him start. Folks around me openly wondered why some guy in an Angels hat and jacket was giving the Cardinal starter a standing O. 36k's in 40ip this year - sigh...
