So the Cardinals made a very surprising move yesterday. How surprising, you ask? Umm, let’s see. It’s...more surprising than ‘Plastic Love’ becoming a strange sort of internet phenomenon, but less surprising than how fun it is to listen to hours of random K-Mart in-store music. And certainly less surprising than the Spanish Inquisition, seeing as how no one ever expects them.
What the Cardinals did was claim Tyson Ross from the San Diego Padres on waivers. Anyone who had, “Tyson Ross waiver claim,” as the first post-July 31 transaction made by the Cardinals, please raise your hands.
