Boycotting the Cardinals

To quote Network, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm boycotting the St. Louis Cardinals. Yesterday's events were the final straw. In case you w...

I was shocked that the Cardinals brought up Rick Ankiel already. They can't send him back down because the Cardinals are out of options on him. If he would get sent back down, any team can claim him....
