Only have a few quick moments, promise a longer post later this weekend.
Colby Rasmus trade: Expected, but did not turn out the way I thought. I like that the Cards picked up some pitching, which they need desperately but not sure it was worth dealing off Rasmus. However, maybe his issues with LaRussa were bigger than we thought. Starting to make me wonder if it might be time for Tony to retire. We just gave away our biggest hitting prospect for what? Maybe a chance to win the NL Central this year. But next year? And the next? Who knows. Maybe Rasmus will do better in a different environment, maybe not. We'll just have to wait and see.
NFL is BACK! Thank goodness I don't think I could have survived without the NFL this fall. Since the lockout has ended so much movement going on it's crazy! But kind of fun to see hour by hour what happens.
I have a lot to say about what's going on but have to keep this short for now.
First, Rams just signed Mike Sims-Walker and I like this. The Rams needed a veteran wideout. We weren't going to get Rice, and I'm on the fence about Plaxico and Edwards. Sims-Walker is young and I'm interested in seeing what Josh Daniels can do with him, and how he and Bradford work together.
In Colts news, Vinateri and Bullitt have been signed. Peyton Manning...still waiting. Isray has insisted that he wants Peyton to be the highest paid athlete in the NFL. Peyton today said that he'd take less money if it means he gets a deal signed and that the team has money to sign other players. Wow. Talk about a team player. Are you listening Albert? I have always had so much respect for Manning but this is really admirable. Hell, he makes enough off of endorsements anyway!
That's my quick update for now, more later this weekend when I have time to actually write.
Are you ready for some football?
