If they are stealing signs,change up the signs.
If you don't like being accused of stealing signs, don't steal signs. If you are not stealing signs, what do you care what the Cards coaching staff is saying?

QFT!

Why other teams perception of the Cardinals is such a point of concern on this forum is always lost on me. I don't give a crap what other teams, players, coaches, fans etc. think of the Cardinals organization.

I'm just wondering if Pujols standing at homeplate admiring his homers is classy?

Does Chris Carpenter have to explain Alberts actions to his son, and if so, will his son be able to grow up as a productive citizen?

These are things that I need to know...

Tonight Garcia is planning to tip his pitches. Jackson's the new guy so he'll just "leave things up in the zone" until they can educate him in the Cardinal way.

Unless you are using some secret camera or something, I've always thought more poorly of the team getting the signs stolen from than the team stealing the signs. I just can't believe that a manager as overly prepared as TLR wouldn't take care to protect the signs.

... throw in the constant bad decisions, crazy roster choices, players out of position playing spots they can't handle ... next will come the inevitable "tipping pitches" explanation for McLellan's failure as a starter and inability to recover from that and get right back to previous levels of success now that he's a reliever again.
