Sweet. I'll get to see this.

Thanks doc.
I've always wondered, how will he get here.... surely the Cards have a plane, right?

Or do they just get him a coach ticket on American?
The very least they can rent a limo and have him driven there. He can ride in the top like Tom Hanks in Big.

I don't like that it took 3 players.
Anyone think that $1.5M goes directly to Shelby Miller? If so, and we just effectively traded Wallace and "organizational filler" for Holliday and Miller, I'd call that a win.
You know Tony went from 6 to 12 when he found out.

I assume the $1.5 mil is considered compensation for Wallace's bonus, no?
That's one way of thinking of it. Or it could offset some of Holliday's salary. I think at this point it's all just one big budget, and if it's not and they need to rob Peter to pay Paul, so be it.

Yes.

And the Cards' site has it that Sunday's game is on TBS, fyi.

EDIT: And Monday is on ESPN. Good weekend for Cards fans everywhere.
