why would ANYONE decent want to play for the cardinals? let's face it, we suck and have sucked for a VERY LONG time. why should we expect a top-tier free agent to sign with us? so they can play in front of 21,000 fans in a 115 degree stadium and very very very rarely have a chance of playing in the postseason? we can get our panties in a bunch about this problem - but it IS a problem. green said it best because he realized this: no one player is going to come in and take us to the playoffs - the current players are the ones that have to step up. our REAL shot is when we do finally make the playoff (ala '98) - it is up to us to not repeat the mistakes of that offseason. but expecting someone to sign here (outside of a ridiculously high, senseless contract) is completely naive. let's do the best we can with what we have and what we can get - it IS possible! guys like hodgins and darling are what we're gonna get - we have to learn to win with them...
