Thanks for the 2 2/3 IP in Game 5, though.

Legitimately upset about this.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

I hope he has a great season on a team that otherwise tanks.

5 years, $82.5MM. That's a nice chunk of change.

No, I want him to have a shitty April through July, striking out or grounding into awful DPs every time he bats, dropping fly balls, airmailing the cutoff man, calling Mike Matheny an ignorant gerbil, then apologizing to all ignorant gerbils, then insulting the Kansas City, Colorado, Minnesota, Milwaukee, Texas, Houston, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Miami, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, White Sox, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Yankees, Mets, Boston, Toronto, Dodgers, Angels, Arizona, San Diego, Giants, A's, and Mariners organizations and fan bases so that come July 31, the Cardinals (by then 35 games out of first) have no choice but to trade Dexter to the first place Cubs for Tim Federowicz and agree to take on all of Dexter's salary. And then Dexter can resume being the great player and guy he was.

If that's too much to ask from Dexter, I hope he's great with the Cardinals on an otherwise lousy team.

You left ut the Cubs presenting him with his ring in a ceremony before the first game of the year, which happens to be in St. Louis.

The whole ut? You're making this too easy, dude. It's not as fun to be pedantic.

Anyway. I'm enjoying the mental image of the Cubs bringing their own sound system and setting up on the field without permission to present Dex with his ring, then projecting a Dex in the World Series highlight video onto a nearby low-hanging cloud.

It would be cool, but won't they wait until after the rest of the team gets theirs, presumably at the home opener?

I would actually expect the rings to be given out at a dinner or something. Based on what the Blackhawks do, every employee gets one. I've got pictures of my wife wearing each of our ticket rep's rings.
