Thanks to the Cardinals, for a supremely exciting season. Thanks to The Best Commenters in Baseball and to Chuck, the red baron, and azruavatar. But thanks, most of all, to these guys.
It's been a great year. Hot Stove League starts tomorrow.

Cubs fan checking in...
Rich Harden has said on a number of occasions that his shoulder does not recover quickly enough to pitch in relief — unless you want a closer who can only pitch every 4th day.
If you want him as a 4th (or, better yet, 5th) starter…
He’s filthy when he’s on, but you need to have a good bullpen behind him since he throws too many pitches and needs to occasionally skip starts. If you have 2/$20M to spend burn, you could certainly do worse.

yay Hot Stove
In an effort to try and move on (which won’t be possible the next few days, let’s see what we need for the offseason perhaps. This is a repost :P
#4,#5 starter (Depends where Lohse and Smoltz pitch, Boggs and Hawksworth as well)
3B (Craig, Dero, Freese, maybe even Glaus or outside the organization like Figgins)
LF (Holliday? Maybe outside the organization, Ankiel is also possible :)
Bullpen? (It looked really shaky this year, but maybe Motte, McClellan, Boggs, and the hawk will pitch better. Lefty side is solid)
Extend Pujols, TLR, Duncan hopefully
Solve the closer situation- Can Franklin handle it? I certainly hope so.
Thoughts?

How about his walk-up music?
Q-Tip,
Vivrant Thing
This clip is not titled properly on youtube btw; it actually is ViVrant, with two v’s.
Q-Tip by himself is nowhere near as good as Tribe, but this song is fitting for Boog. I remember he had some rasta-dub sounding song for all of 2008 except for the last day of the 2008 season; when he started in right field (?!?!?!), he changed his walk-up music to this song.
OT: An example of how Tribe is much better than Q-Tip by himself:
Find a Way, with a prominently-featured Towa Tei sample from after Deee-Lite broke up. Towa Tei Technova sample at 1:03

Last night, they played Madcon’s cover of “Beggin’” in the bottom of the ninth before our last at-bats. It seemed fitting, and it made me a little sad.

4, 5 starter: Boggs will be one of them, free agent as the other

LF: Not Holliday or Ank. Both will be gone. Possibly an FA, most likely someone w/in org.

Well, it was fun while it lasted & it ended too soon, but the Birds had another great
season. It might be bittersweet, but maybe APU will win another MVP & Waino or Carp will bring home the Cy, that along with a couple more Gold Gloves sprinkled in. I tried not to post on VEB this season so I would maybe pay a little more attn. to my family, but at about 80 games or so, I got sucked back in. Just reading the comments along with watching the games on a nightly basis really does make it a little more enjoyable & although Im sure my sprinkled comments infuriate many, its only my loyalty to the Cardinals that makes me care as much I do.

I think TLR will be back but not DD
I think it’s time for a new manager. I’m sick and tired of seeing TLR made weird decisions or stupid lineups (example, C. Duncan and Thursty frequently playing). I’d love to see DD back, but I think he’ll leave over the issue with Chris being traded.

That's what discovering Redbird Nation was like for me in 04.
It sounds silly to say it, but that site made a huge difference in helping me deal with the pain of 04. When it shut down, I found my way here. It just makes baseball more fun – particularly since it’s been years since I’ve physically lived among Cardinal fans. The folks at work just look at me strangely when I try to explain Carp’s ferocity.

it's a wagon for the band
wiki: Literally, a bandwagon is a wagon which carries the band in a parade, circus or other entertainment. The phrase “jump on the bandwagon” first appeared in American politics in 1848 when Dan Rice, a famous and popular circus clown of the time, used his bandwagon and its music to gain attention for campaign appearances. As campaigns became more successful, more politicians strove for a seat on the bandwagon, hoping to be associated with the success. Later, during the time of William Jennings Bryan’s 1900 presidential campaign, bandwagons had become standard in campaigns, and “jump on the bandwagon” was used as a derogatory term, implying that people were associating themselves with the success without considering what they associated themselves with.

That's a good reason and I agree.
I see DeRosa going to the Cubs for a little less money and kicking ass for them. And that vision sucks. If we want to go with Freese fine, but if they don’t take that money saved by not signing Mark and spend it elsewhere I will have an issue.

got home about an hour ago from an outdoor beerfest in Alexandria, VA. I spotted one Carpenter jersey, once couple in STL hats, ans some guy in a random green/shamrock STL hat. I offered my good feelings and wishes to all of them, then managed to not think about it, just with some blind faith that the Cards would win. That didn’t happen. I was honestly shocked to see the score when I got home.
