Straight dealing tonight
Worst possible outcome the last two years for this Cubs fan, first the White Sox and now this....Every possible religious leader hates the Cubs, I am convinced

Weaver with the Dodgers-subpar
Weaver with the Halos-God awful Weaver with the Cards-at 1st-God awful(I remember baby Weaver-during pregame in Anaheim, having his brother's start against the Braves be put on the jumbotron.)THE Braves ran Weaver off the reservation,and won like 17-5 or something in St. Louis.Wow,did the pitching coach in St.Louis earn his money after this,or what??? Talk about a good pitching coach...damn(friggin' alchemist.)

Makes you wonder about the approach used by SoCal teams with their pitching stock! Props to the Cards who avoided seasonal collapse and did the little things(Eck) that cemented every win over Tigers!

Guys... remember Weaver has shown signs of Brilliance. He did in Detroit, and that's how he ended up in the Bronx. But like Kenny Rogers, the Bronx wasn't the place for him.
That first year in L.A. (w/ the Dodgers I mean) he was actually pretty good. It seems like he's an "every other year" pitcher. I was actually mad that he pitched well in the Playoffs/World Series, because he'd be a big-time sleeper for next year. Now that he's pitched well, everyone is gonna be on his nuts. Not like his brother, but he'll be on people's radar now. I just can't wait for fantasy baseball next year when people draft "J. Weaver", they think that they're getting Jared, when they're really getting Jeff lol. OH DAMN! Na... next year he'll win 15 games and strike out over 150 barring health problems. I'll start taking bets anytime...

Inconsistent... no different than another Dodger- Derek Lowe. And Brad Penny for that mater. I respect any guy that could pitch for a lowly Tigers squad for a few years and pitch .500 baseball for them. That says something. Same with Suppan in St Louis. He pitched for Kansas City for so many years. On horrible squads. But he managed to be a .500 pitcher for those teams. I think that goes fairly far.
You wanna take me up on that 15 game bet scuds? I'm not rollin in the dough now, but 1 year from now I will be lol.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=241007124 "Weaver gave up six runs on eight hits in 4 2-3 innings. Weaver worked around two walks in the first when he struck out Edmonds for the final out. He had another shaky inning in the second and the Cardinals capitalized, with the first run scoring on Weaver's wild pickoff throw to first.With two outs, Tony Womack hit an RBI triple off the right-field wall and Larry Walker followed with a run-scoring double just inside the first-base line for a 3-1 lead." This is the guy I remember.Hey,all I am saying is the St. Louis ' coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for getting this guy to do what he should have been doing all along(but was too sloppy to understand,and concentrate on technique.)He cleaned up his record during garbage time of the 2nd half of last season.There was zero stress.The team was way behind in the standings.He took the Halos for a bunch of dough.He may of had a .500 type record for us,but I am telling you that he was given a situation where he should have won a bunch more games for us.Quite simply he was sloppy,and simply caught way too much of the plate.The Dodgers take a lot of heat for not winning a playoff game since God knows when,but look at guys like Weaver that were f'n gas cans starting for us in the post.Then you try and tell me he wasn't.Believe me this guy got hit,and hit,and hit.

Here is the exact play by play of the way he pitched for us when it really counted.This is the Weaver we knew.Not pretty.Enough of the bull****.

Scuds: I shuddered every time it was Weavers' turn to pitch,both when a Dodger or Angel...but someone in St. Louis found the key! I dispute that Weaver padded his stats this season in the 'dog days'.....the Cards were falling like a rock and needed every inning and win that Weaver gave them! As I said before, What did the people on the Socal teams miss? or did they just give up on him too soon?

True story....am eagerly awaiting movements of players...most of them in Dec and Jan. Now if we could just get Fox to do Something with their lead team...that would be great! I think that there will be alot of action this offseason.
