The 2007 reference did make me have to remember Kip Wells. Now *that* was a bad offseason - when the marquis signings were Kip Wells and Adam Kennedy.
Haltz masterpiece

Even the principles were unenthusiastic. This pic said it all about what was to transpire.

And that bullpen (outside of Izzy) was horrific too. A real shame, since that was the best lineup we possibly had - despite featuring Tino, Matheny, and over 300 PA's from Bo Hart.MrCrowesGarden wrote: ↑June 15 21, 1:55 pm2003 was a bad rotation too.

Oh man, what a great memory. That's awesome.MrCrowesGarden wrote: ↑June 15 21, 1:36 pmI was at that game with my dad and a friend when I was 10. We had nosebleed seats, but went to the field to get autographs. Nobody ever kicked us out so we ended up sitting in the green seats maybe three rows from the field.G.

I was 13 in 1995 and the only guy I can remember from that rotation is Donovan Osborne, and that's only because he hit a grand slam that one time and me and my friend went nuts running all over the house in celebration.SunnyJim wrote: ↑June 15 21, 12:59 pm1995 Starting StaffPopeye_Card wrote: ↑June 15 21, 12:47 pmthis might be the worst rotation the Cardinals have had since the mid-90's.

Somehow Tom Henke managed to get 36 saves.
