Adam Wainwright said Sunday that he wants to stay in St. Louis and is ready to begin extension talks. Wainwright is under contract through 2013 but will be a free agent after that. "In brief talks with (Cardinals executives) they feel real good about me coming back for a long time, and I want to make that happen," the 31-year-old right-hander said. "I don't see any reason why we shouldn't make that happen." It seems feasible that a long-term deal can be worked out this winter.
