In honor of Opening Day figured I would start a thread regarding the best team in baseball and that I root for. Go Cardinals!
Side note- this is the best thing/rule to happen to baseball in well… forever!

Karen is going to be pissed.

Well fuck we battled back only to lose 10-9. Why do all my teams have to punch me in the nuts?!

Had the Cardinal game on the computer this afternoon at the office. Put the John Rooney radio call on with the video. He is still a nice baseball listen.

And I forgot Chip Caray was now the Card TV voice.

Back-to-back homers to start the game for the Cardinals! Brendan Donovan is gonna be a star.

We’re made of Star stuff, so in a sense we are all stars.

I like him, but he’s not Dan McLaughlin. Carey is very good, but man I miss Dan. Just hope he gets his life together.

Why are Cards fans unhappy about Chip C being the announcer? Good announcer, good voice, knows the game. They could have hired a lesser announcer. Dan Mac had to be stupid and drive shit faced.........again.
The club could have done a lot worse IMO.

I don’t know. I’ve learned over the years to never question the best fans in baseball.
The guys I know wanted someone else. I forget who and don’t care enough to try to figure it out.

At least they didn't hire someone from the Angels, biggest bunch of homers in the world. They may be told by the owner to be that way or you're going away. Their TV guys are horrid. Glad I don't live in So Cal anymore, don't have to listen to their garbage.

Good to see Jordan Walker get his 1st big league homer.
BUT man, the Cardinals pitching has been HORRIBLE!!

Looks like Tyler O’Neill doesn’t like to hustle.

Pitching is the most important thing in this game. If it's not good enough, you don't win. Period. Been watching this game since 1966. You don't have pitching in post season, you don't win. Not going to be able to score 6-8 runs every game and win a series.
The guys in charge need to realize the Cardinals pitching is not good enough.

Yeah, Mozeliak and Girsch stated they don’t need any pitching as the already have 6-7 starters already. Everybody (fans) knows that most of them aren’t reliable and it’s very concerning the GM doesn’t know this. I don’t necessarily think they don’t know, I think they don’t care. The Cardinals definitely have an TON of assets to make a trade for an Ace, and they absolutely need to if they plan on going anywhere in the postseason.

They don't need better pitching? Pa-lease. Waino is 41 and not able to pitch yet and struggled at the end of last season. Matz stinks, period. Flaherty is questionable right now. Mikolas inconsistent. Their starters are questionable and it puts so much pressure on their bullpen. If Moz and the GM can't see this, they need to be replaced. Now, we'll just wait until the trade deadline and then do something. That's just stupid.

Agreed. With all the trade assets they have there’s no reason they haven’t picked up an ace starter.

Good to see the Cardinals come back to win last night. Able to watch on the Rockies TV network. Mikolas stunk it up but bullpen got it done, especially Cabrera. Still need to improve the starting rotation. Mozeliak, get it done.

Cards currently throwing wild pitches and walking guys to allow Dodger scores.

They've got a surplus of ML outfielders. Time to start trading for some pitching.

Need Waino to be on his game after another blown game last night.
Will Marmol go after that idiot that was behind the plate last night?
-
DeJong and Carlson =El Busto and put O'Neill on the clock.
Can't argue with this observation. De Jong hitting but how long will that last?
-
Contreras moving to outfield? WTF? They making him the fall guy for the poor pitching?

Shitshow. Already a logjam in the OF and adding another guy to the mix. Really dumb especially signing him to a 5-year deal as the replacement for Yadi. Why get him if he’s not gonna catch. Ignorant! Fire the whole front office!

I care about the Cardinals almost as much as I care about women football reporters.

Based on her first pitch, they must not have enough guys at that school to play.
Extremely late chump edit.

All joking aside, please don’t you fuckers hijack this thread too 😩 and that goes for you and PMan.

Brown University. I don't think they have grades there. Wilson Contreras would not get an F for catching abilities, for example.
-
Cubs better win every game against St. Louis. St. Louis stats are crap this year. Cub better figure out a strategy going forward if they have a long game rather than burning through the whole pen.
Nico can't carry the team alone. Standford always gets such good baseball athletes.
I keep saying it, bring Prior in to be a pitching coach. Players and fans would love it.

My shitty Cardinals have taken the first 2 games of the series against the Cubs.

And.....back to normal, great pitching giving up a 10 spot last night.
Hey Girsch and MO, wake up and get better pitching. Morons.

It’s a start!
Sweep of the Sawx in Fenway. Now gotta win against Milwaukee.

Fucking fire Oli Marmol!!! This is fucking disgusting and pathetic. The Cardinals really messed up naming him manger and letting Shildt go.

They're turning into the Rockies! WTF?

Yeah man, I was so jacked after Jordan Walker his that 2-run homer in the 9th to take the lead, then Hicks blew it in the bottom of the inning. Just fucking terrible.

I can't disagree with your post. But I'm going to add to this. Those idiots Mozeliak and Girsch nor the owner De Dimwit didn't do a damned thing about strengthening a lousy pitching staff, instead only adding that stinking Contreras. He sucks shit so far this year, probably still has allegiance to Shitcago. Hey Cardinals big shots, pitching is the name of game, pitching wins. Write that down and refer to it daily.
-
Omg, the Cardinal pitchers posted a 0 for 9 innings tonight.
-
Béisbol been berry berry good to me.

If the Cardinals trade Arenado to the Dodgers like is being rumored, I’ll fucking flip! Unless they get their entire farm system, you don’t do the deal! Hell you might not do the deal even if you get that!

If those idiots trade Arenado, I want the idiots out of the organization! Mo, Girsch and De Dimwit suck big time. Trade Carlson, O'Neil, DeJong, fine with me, they're done.

Exactly. He’s a HOF player on an amazing contract in his prime. You deal that and they’ll be kissing a whole lot of fans goodbye. Me included.

That's exactly how we Rockies fans felt when we gave him away. I always figured the Cards were too smart to do the same. WTF?

In case anyone has not noticed, the Cardinal is really bad this year.

Saying the Cardinals are really bad this year is an understatement. The honchos did NOTHING in regards to strengthening the pitching staff. PITCHING WINS GAMES.
Adam Wainwright, please just walk away, it's over. Bob Gibson had to walk away before the 1975 season was over.
-

The Cardinals owner Bill DeDimwit, that damned John Mozeliak and Girsch need to go. They screwed up getting rid of Mike Shildt, big time. Absolutely screwed the pooch.
My mom is a Rockies fan, she hated when they traded Arenado to the Cardinals. And she hates that Kris Bryant with a passion. She grumbles every time he comes to the plate.
-
Too bad Kris Bryant wasn't able to play last night to screw up the Rockies offense.
Waino, please just hang it up. You've been a great Cardinal. No screwy things or rumors about you in your career. But last night was truly sad. Your ability to get hitters out has left you.

Yeah, Wainwright is broken. They’re gonna keep throwing him out there to get him the 200 wins for his career. I wanna see him get it too, but it’s embarrassing now. Nothing to play for this year anyways so screw it. Call up Winn and some other young players and give them a shot. Gonna need AT LEAST 3 quality starting pitchers next year, so Mo better be active in free agency.
-
Time for the Walker and Winn show in 2024 and beyond for the Cardinals. Glad Winn got called up and got his first hit last night. Pete Alonso is a scumbag, yes…
https://x.com/stlsportscntrl/status/1692712385167905207?s=46&t=nLWTarDKWNHMqYhTVD-LQQ
Who throws a ball into the stands with one out?! He knew exactly what he was doing. Glad they got the ball back and Winn handled it with class after the game.

Yes, glad he got called up to get the experience and be ready for 2024.
Scumbag move by the POS Alonso.
Will be glad when this horrid season ends.
-
Alonso did make a dick move. Dumbass! He sure can mash though...
They still need to move an outfielder or 2. Gorman is a keeper and Donovan a good utility guy. Fix the starting and they have potential.

We'll see if the idiots at the top go get starting pitchers. And get rid of the doofus Mikolas. They can get rid of O'Neil and Carlson.

Carlson and O’Neil need to go. Along with Edman. Gorman should be off limits, as he has the potential to be an All-Star very very soon! Donovan should be off limits as well.
Need 3 starting pitchers for next year and this team could be drastically different.

Edman is so versatile, keeping him would be OK. Definitely yes on 3 starters.
DeJong got DFA by Toronto already. 3 hits in 13 games. Hey Mozeliak, that isn't a call to bring him back!

I should’ve said either Edman or Donovan should go. I personally prefer Donovan, but they’re basically the same “type” of versatility player and you don’t need both.

Donovan is probably a better average hitter and gets more walks. Edman better with the glove.
-
That dumbass Marmol needs to take a hike after his 9th inning stupidity in pitching strategy last night. Absolute joke.
And Mozeliak and Girsch, you 2 need to take a hike also for your shit assembly of a pitching staff.
PITCHING WINS GAMES, you morons. And DeDimwit, straightened the shit out or sell the team.

Thank goodness this horror show is over. Worst summer in my 57 seasons of watching Cardinals baseball.
Hope DeDimwit, Mozeliak and Girsch wake up and get to work on getting Major League pitchers.

Agreed. Glad Waino got his 200 wins and the farewell he received.
NOW, enough of that and let’s get get back at the top where the Cardinals belong.
-
I can't believe Edman is projected starter in CF. If he's anything more than a bench guy, it'll be another suck-ass year.

I think him and Carlson will be manning that position this year. Maybe Nootbar moves in the middle occasionally.
