I thought maybe I was missing something when I looked up and saw Brad Thompson on the mound for the Cards in the finale. I could've sworn Lohse was the scheduled starter.
Is it just because it's the end of a meaningless series to finish off a less-than-stellar season?
According to Derrick Goold, it's way more exciting than that. Kyle is apparently undergoing a physical with team doctors in preparation for a possible... (deep breath) contract extension.
Shhhh. Don't tell anyone.
Update: Moze just all but confirmed the news with Frank Cusumano (he of the baaaad toupee) on KDSK. There's a press conference scheduled for tomorrow at 4:30 and according to John, "We'll have some exciting news."
