THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS ARE IDIOTS


According to STLTODAY.COM, the St. Louis Cardinals are so desperate for another drug cheater to sit with Rick Ankiel on the bench that they are thinking about inviting Juan Gonzalez to spring training camp.

Two-time MVP Juan Gonzalez is seeking another swing at a comeback after nearly three years since his last at-bat, and the Cardinals have discussed extending him an invitation to spring training.

Gonzalez, 38, has been working out at Eduardo Perez's Winter Training Program in Puerto Rico. The Cardinals, intrigued by descriptions of Gonzalez's workouts, are exploring the possibility of signing the former All-Star outfielder, but a source cautioned that no deal is completed.


I for some reason thought Gonzalez died a few years back to some cocaine overdose but I guess I was wrong. Sorry, I usually get cocaine overdose and career dying in Detroit mixed up for some reason. Seriously, wtf are the Cardinals thinking? Do they need a guy who was trained in the "Jose Canseco how to stick needles in dude's asses without breaking it" camp to assist with Ankiel and Albert Pujols. I know they just picked up Troy Glaus in a trade so he should have plenty of experience in performance-enhancing drugs but apparently the Cards want a whole roster full of cheaters. Maybe they could bring back Mark McGwire while they are at it or look into adding Roger Clemens to the pitching staff.

Nice rant, but get your facts straight. Exactly where was Pujols linked with PEDs other than a Deadspin story that had to be retracted when proven incorrect?

No you are right. It has never been proven Pujols has been on performance enhancing drugs ever. Same with Brady Anderson, Luis Gonzalez, or a lot of other ballplayers. They were clean just like Pujols has been his whole career. It was stupid of me to presume a guy like Pujols and his ridiculous numbers he has posted since sniffing the majors is not tainted. My bad.
