Cardinals’ Mr. April Set the Table, but Is Absent for the Feast

It's... Brian Barden! Last of the double B's. Some poignant quotes there from Slur It.

"I don’t know — I’d rather have a ring," Barden said before going back inside and starting his off-season. "It signifies that you were part of something special. It cements your place in time."

And also an interesting article on the confluence of events which rocked the stache of our regular season.

Barden's arguably had a bit of a raw deal this year

I can’t help but feel his bat’s a wash with Thurston and his glove was better suited to 3B (at least he didn’t frequently air-mail his throws into the 1B dugout…). Still, that’s the problem when you’re a AAAA utility infielder on a team that has a lot of AAAA middle infielders – you need a bit of luck (or to play for the Padres or something) to break into MLB on a full-time basis.

I feel bad for Brian

but at least he’ll get a share.
