For those of you wondering

Well for those of us wondering if the Cardinals would look at Jeff Weaver again, since the Cardinals starting pitching has been so awful lately and Weaver has been even worse, I think we've found our answer. Walt Jocketty was recently interviewed by the LA Times and was asked that question. His response in short, "He had his opportunity. He chose to go to Seattle."
Part of me is saying the same thing. We were going to give him a two year contract since he said he wanted stability, and what did he do? He went and signed a one year deal with the Mariners, a team in the same division that rocked him last year. Then he went on to say that he didn't think that Duncan had really helped him that much. So with Walt's blood boiling over still....I don't think we'll see Weaver in the birds on the bat any time soon.
But then there's the other side of me. The one that says "Well Dunc was able to do it once...why couldn't he do it again?" The rolls have seemingly switched again. The offense is actually scoring runs and getting hits. Why not take a flier on him??? Ah well...that's why Walt gets paid the big bucks right???

Anywho, rough weekend for the Birds. We all knew it was going to be tough. And in reality, the first game was the only HORRIBLE game all around for the team. At least they made the final two interesting. And if it wasn't for that stupid fan on Saturday, the Cards might have had a chance to win that game. At the very least it would have been tied! Except for Friday's BLOW out and the starting pitching, I was somewhat happy with the guys this weekend. Until yesterday they continued getting double digit hits in the game. It's been more then a week now since they've been shut out. Starting pitching is just killing us. The same thing that happened last year before the trade deadline. Duncan's got his work cut out for him that's for sure.

The Cardinals need to use the next few weeks to make a run at getting close to the Brewers. The Brewers went 3-7 in their last 10 and still didn't lose any ground to the Cardinals. As long as the bats can stay active I think the next couple of weeks could be good for the Birds. Come on Dunc, work your magic!
