I thought Lackey didn't like Scioscia. Pulling him too early all the time....

No he wanted more years and then talked shit about our fan base. I don't recall him talking poorly about Mike but I could be wrong. He is upset like Weaver used to be upset when being pulled from the game, he's a competitor, like Man O' War, or Secritariat. Edited October 7, 2015 by Stradling

If only they had a magic crystal ball to see it was worth it to pay him because CJ and Weaver will retire long before Lackey.

I could see Lackey pitching into his 40s for the Cardinals. Imagine if he started his career in the NL....probally several CY awards.

I see what you did there.

Yea I liked Lackey as an Angel. When he left and went to Boston then shit talked us I kinda wrote him off.

He looked a lot like Barbaro there for awhile.

There's no way we could've known about Lackey. Let bygones be bygones.

Same. but when Weaver took a nosedive this year I wouldn't mind having him instead of Weaver or CJ.

Aside from Velocity what has kept Lackey from going Weaverish ? I wonder if its because he always had a better Curveball.

Weaver grew old faster than your normal MLB pitcher. At their peak I'd take Weaver.

True at his peak he was unhittable in the AL. Lackey never reached that level.

 

Miss seeing the old Lackey vs A-Rod at bats......A-Rod looking weak against his curveball.

Less than the amount of those that are Jedi castoffs

Meanwhile, ONE post-season appearance in 6 years and ZERO wins!

Marvelous!

Great thread.

Bet half those guys were grateful to get out of this mess. Some great athletes we've let go and pretty much never replaced.

ended it perfect

[ten ocho recon scout]

Add bourjos to that list even though most hwre could care less.

As far as lackey, i was pissed when he left too. But in hindsight, he didnt dog the fans as much as he praised boston's...take that for what its worth. Guy on a new team...hamilton talked similar about texas. I cringed because i remembered lackeys comments, most on here (who were still lighting fireworks over signing hamilton) thought it was great.

Lackey said some things we didnt like, but most had no problem talking trash about his divorce, chicken and beers, etc. End of the day, he wanted the best contract, we were outbid, it ended up being a good contract.

I think some chemistry and leadership left when he did personally...

[JoJo26]

We can't count Tex or Grienke but it's ok to count Neiuwenhues(sp)?

 

Mercenaries.....Newinwhats-his-face is hardly a house hold name...and just because he hit 3 dingers in one game this season...he was only a try-out in LF (like everyone)

You can probably blame all those guys on JoJo's lost for that.

Im going to find some stats that will prove you dont know what you are talking about mentioning Lackey with Secretariat....

I thought Lackey didn't like Scioscia. Pulling him too early all the time....

 

I was at a game where he left Lackey in far too long, until he gave up six runs in an inning. As I recall, he had nobody warming up until it was too late.
