brushback pitch

the cardinals finally found a top of the rotation starter. cue the hallelujah chorus!

fortunately unlike the red sox (clement) and the mets (who single-handedly inflated the pitching market with those ridiculous benson and martinez deals) they didn't have to break the bank to do so. i admit that mulder ain't hudson and he definitely isn't rj, but he's nothing to sneeze at either. kudos walt. kudos.
