Never say never again

The St. Louis Cardinals brought up Troy Percival from AAA Memphis to help out their beleaguered pitching staff.

Percival has not pitched in the majors since July 9, 2005 for the Tigers. On Opening Day of this year in Anaheim, Percival donned an Angels jersey and threw what he considered his last pitch to thunderous applause.

Walt Jocketty also has calls in to Greg Cadaret, Pep Harris, and Urbano Lugo.

He might help them more if he went back to catching.

Speaking of which, when are they gonna call up Ankiel?

Not until later on Ankiel. He would have to clear waivers going down, so they won't call him up until they know he'll be able to stay the whole season. So he might not come until September if the Cards are in the race, August if they're out of it.
