I hope Grilli is the main closer.

YOU'RE ****IN' OUT!

Welp, I completely forgot the Cards were playing tonight. I struggle sometimes.

Reading the Shanks article sounds like he would have traded the whole roster if it meant getting rid of Upton

It's ok. Wrigley looks like a spring training field right now. Lol

Yeah - pretty over the top... Isn't there some thoughts that he's a racist?

Heyward 3 for 3. Hope he makes all the critics on here and Shanks realize how stupid it was to trade him for Shelby and a future reliever.

Sample size? FYI- Lester was terrible tonight, are you watching game? Should we also say Lester will be terrible and that the Braves made the right call not signing him. Its one game...

If he keeps sliding head first it won't matter IMO he will be on the DL in no time.

If we sign Heyward I will personally see to it that you get all apologies necessary plus a Melvin Upton from the Fox Sports girls before each home game.

Not sure a Melvin is as appealing now that it's part of a dump.

Yes, and to be fair, Lester isnt even close to on his game.

Obviously not healthy, among other things, missing his spots.

Im sure Heyward will have a fine year though.

I know it's early. But a peak Heyward is better than anything Shelby or Tyrrell can provide.

Tommy LaStella looking good early.

 

[BlackwaterPark]

Speaking of Heyward.... he's looking pretty good so far For the Cards.

I think if he stays there he will compete for MVP

 

[Gary82]

Go read Shanks' article about the trade... Just dawgs BJ Upton like no other

He should never be taken seriously as a journalist, blogger, whatever—totally unprofessional.

 

[Julio3000]

One of the doubles should have been an out.

Something something multi-hit games.

 

[PurpleBrave]

Maybe this trade will free up some $ to sign Dan Uggla?

Jenkins looks far from a future reliever.

So what will people say if we sign Heyward. The narrative is he wanted too much money.

I think we burned that bridge tho. No way he comes back

Sure, he'll come back if we offer him the dough. You can forget about any potential hometown discount or back-loading generosity though.

This season he shouldn't be satisfied with anything less than multi-game hits.

 

[Heyward]

If Heyward has a monster year, no way he comes back.

He'll get some insane offers in FA.
