Well the good news is almost every arbitration elgible player has been resigned. Phew. Except to of my favorites, :( David Freese,
(I just really wanted to see a pretty picture... XD I'm such a girl)
and Mark Rzepc... O forget it, Scrabble.
These are some of my favorite players from the 2011 post season run! David Frees obviously because he's gorgeous and he hand delivered one of my favorite games to me via Game 6 of the WORLD SERIES!! Did I mention, I WAS THERE?!?!? Now only if Mr. Freese would RT that would like make my life. If anyone could help us meet or have him retweet me please that would be AWESOME!
Now that I've had my super girly moment, lets talk business. Yes I can see why the Cardinals are hesitant to sign both of these players. Scrabble had not such a great year this year. He struggled most of the year and didn't have the stuff and the fire that made me love him during the post season. Mr. Freese, I can kinda see because of the injury prone person (we are soooooo meant to be, I am such a klutz!) but common! He pretty much hand delivered the World Series title!! Yes he had a lot of help from guys like Berkman and Craig and a bunch of other guys, but seriously, he is an AMAZING 3rd baseman!! Those aren't easy to come by! I know we have Carpenter waiting in the wings but he's learning new positions so he can play more! They seem to be planning on Freese for awhile, but it seems to be taking forever to sign him!! Lets go boys!!
Ok so I'm trying something new, since the Ravens seem to be playing for that guy, who had some importance to the team, who died earlier this season and thats why they're doing so well I think the 2013 Cardinals need to use that same fire. The Cardinals need to start saying "Win for Stan" and hopefully that will carry us to #12 in 2013. I think it would be a great way to remember him. I love that our boys are wearing the #6 on their jerseys this year and you know the #6 will be all over the stadium,
but I think it would be really cool to keep the theme going and really dedicate this year to Stan the Man, he meant so much to the Cardinals and Opening Day just won't be the same without him. And I know when I go to my first game of the season I know where I'm making a pit stop before entering the stadium:
I really hope whomever is with me doesn't mind! This way I can pay my respects since I won't be able to go to the visitation or see the statue anytime soon. I know all over Cardinal nation hearts will be breaking and tuned in to watch as Stan the Man is slowly said good bye to this year. He will never leave our hearts and we will never forget what this great man did for our team. #WinforStan
