grumbling gripes from the nest!!

I hope someone from ESPN reads this because thier site sucks a big one. I hate thier site so bad, I cant stand it. They do have good fantsy baseball I will give you that much. Let me ask you this were do you go to get your sports info at? It can't be at ESPN thats for sure! They are the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen. They call ther self the world wide leader in sports. So you then click on a article to read, and what do you find,that dam ESPN insider that you have to pay for every month. I dont know about you, but I am not paying for that piece of dung when it will take me two more seconds to go to another site and get the same info that they have. They get thier stuff, some of that stuff from the local papers, like Charlotte observer,NY times. All you have to do is put those sites on your fav's and just click on them to look at them, then you have your own insider info for free. They have the same info that ESPN Insider has. If I want input I sure as hell dont click on ESPN's site. I like the show's on TV, but paying for inside scoops, which can be on any sports site these days is just unreal and bullshit. I go to Cbs sportsline or fox sports for info atleast I dont have to pay for info. Its not like its life or death and they are trying to sell good info that nobody else has. Come on everybody has most of all the same info Insider has. So why pay for that piece of crap of a web site.

birds news on those broke back cards

King Albert out and everybody is crying for a extra abat in the lineup. We did not make any kind of splash this offseason, not evan with Jaun E. at left feild. We have bigger problems next year in that we will lose Mulder, Jason, Suppon,Ponson, Edmonds maybe. Thats too much cash to give out for the low budget cards. Hey I am a tight wad aswell and I like saving money too. Walt has done a great job so far he always pulls a rabbit out of his hat at the end of the year. I really think we will trade one of our pitcher's. Know the signing Edmonds back I dont now about. I would love to sign him for a deal, but not a big one. I think he will be a life time cardinal and sign for 3 more years. He is only 34 and player's can produce at that age. He wont be the 40 homer edmonds, but he can hit 25 or more every year, plus he is a lefty thats plays CF and he has a crap load of gold gloves.This is why he should get about half of what he is getting paid now or less for a contract about the 3 or more years. What about Rolen this guy is producing some much needed power for this team. Juan E has done better and I think he will put up Reggie Sanders numbers. Duncan is going to be a power threat in the future, I hope we keep this young kid. Reyes and Waignwright should be in the rotation next year and our rotation next year should be fine if we have a liget #2 starter in the rotation to go behide Carp. Jeff M has 8 wins this already I hope we sign him back for a reasonable amount of money. He would be a great #3 starter I believe. What about C.Wilson from PiTT? This would be pretty good trade if we dont trade Reyes, Wainwright. He is 29 and really still unproven so we should not have to pay that much for him in a trade. I think he has great upside if he played more. Maybe the cards will be fine this year, I sure hope so. I believe they will go to the playoff's with this club, but they wont win it all without some more help.

nothing could be finer than to be a sports team in CAROLINA

As of today the canes of Carolina have a great chance of winning the cup in hockey. I know the yankees up north are hating the fact that a redneck team from down south is kicking thier ass. Thier hockey is what basketball is to Carolina. Just think if we win the cup and the panthers win the superbowl in the same year, that would be huge for our state. O yeah and the year before UNC won a tittle aswell. I have been to 4 countries and a lot of places for my age, and the best state is North Carolina in my thoughts. We have MJ and to make a long story short we have more that 100 great pro's that have played college here or was born here. There is no other state better than us in basketball period. We have UNC,State,WF and Duke. I like the bobcats aswell to do good in the future with there young core in Okafor,May, Felton,Wallace and they have the 3 pick in the NBA draft coming up. This is a team on the rise I assure you. We also just got the nacecar hall of fame here to make things a little better. We also rule in nacecar as it started here in the back woods of Carolina. This sport is up and coming and has more fan base than any other sport on record in the US of course. Lets refresh what I am talking about, so basically we are the Best in Basketball and Nacecar hands down compared to the rest of the country. We also are very close in football and really the only sport left to talk about is baseball, but I will take 2 out of 5 in all major sports, and 3 out of5 this year. I am not going to list all the guys that have came out of the state of Carolina, but if you have time look up the numbers and I bet you will be surprised at the amount of people that were born and have gone of to do great things not including sports. Evan the small town of Wilmington NC has a sports hall of fame with the guys we have had in the past, including MJ. All I am trying to say is nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina. Oh yeah James Taylor is from Carolina aswell!lol
