Cheers, Sir

"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son." Let's just call him Flounder. And hope he's drunk enough to think it's funny.

Anyway, low-risk, high-reward. Yadda, yadda, yadda. It's fine, whatever. If he's cleaned up, we can ease Reyes and his 142-innings-pitched-in-2005 into the rotation. I don't want to see Anthony in Memphis next year, but I also don't want to see him hurt and/or completely gassed in August. I also don't want to see Marquis traded until we know exactly what we have in both Reyes and Ponson.

From the AP story:
"Sidney has made it very clear to us that he is committed to turning both his life and his career around," Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty said. "He's a tremendous talent who has made mistakes, but he's been making huge strides in trying to return himself to a much better quality of life. There were several teams interested in him, and we feel that our organization can provide him a solid basis for a fresh start if he is serious about turning his career around."
We're a pretty tolerant bunch, us Cards fans; we rationalize all kinds of craziness. But if he does anything to besmirch the idealized, wholesome, family values version of the Cardinals most fans think of, well...it's only a million bucks.
