"Official" 2011 St. Louis Cardinals Thread (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=239783)

It only took 10 2/3 for me to check out on this team.

Same shit as last year. Same exact shit. **** these guys.

First home opener I've missed since 2004, and I'm not a bit disappointed I missed this ****ing abortion.

Welp,

As far as your points go:

Freese will never be an All-Star. It's not just his ankles, he also lacks power.
Schumaker still should not be starting over any MIF in AAA or above for this organization

Franklin is a junkballer who has been getting by on luck for two straight years. That shit evens out. Motte is a one trick pony with shoulder problems. Meanwhile, Chris Perez is lights out in Cleveland. Motte may not be in baseball in two years.

Garcia is due for an explosion in his ERA this year. Not only will he regress to the mean, but he threw way too many innings last year and it's going to come back and bite him in the ass. For as much animosity as they have, Tony has a very Dusty Bakeresque approach to young pitchers.

Of course Berkman is going to fall off. He's an aging player asked to play a position he can't physically play, and he's never been a model of physical fitness.

This is just going to be a worse version of the 2010 team. None of the glaring holes on the team were solved. If this team would have been wise enough to move for Dan Uggla rather than Ryan Theriot and Lance Berkman, you'd finally fill a hole at 2nd, you could get Schumaker out of their, and you'd also be forced to play someone at short who can actually man the position.

Horrible MIF defense? Check
Boneheaded baserunning mistakes that would make Joe Thurston blush? Check
Franklin's pitch to piss-pounding regressing to the mean? Check
Players routinely chasing garbage out of the zone in disadvantageous counts? Check
Inability to move over runners or drive them home when ISP? Check

This team has learned nothing. The entire organization needs to be carpet bombed.

"Two outs and the final hope is Skip Schumaker."

Funniest sentence in the history of the English language?

Probably the most apt critique of our club I've seen.

I just realized the Cardinals play the Giants in their first home series of the season.

Mickelson better get himself un****ed for the majors this year, or this could end up being the worst sports year of my life.

Mizzou is going to be ****ed in football and basketball, the Cards look dead in the water, and there may not even be an NFL season.

Three goddamn runs against the Madres. FML :facepalm:

We own you. Get over it.
