I hope by this you don't mean that the Cardinals are "Missouri's team"?

If he leaves for the Marlins, then he was FOS in all his previous statements and it was all about the money.
We got him for 11 of his best years. He has maybe 2 more of those years left but wants to be paid for 10 more years like that. It makes sense for the Cards to do that but not anyone else.

THey have.
However the guy has always said that he wanted talent added aroudn him in STL and just wanted to win. They did both. I get the hurt from Cards fans. I also get he wants the most money he can make. |

I didn't say that at all. They have for now yes. It's never been in their nature to stay competitive though for long. I'm talking about a guy in his low 30's (as far as we know) demanding that kind of money for 10 more years. I just find it ridiculous on both sides part. It's the business of sports these days though.

They couldn't sustain a team because no one goes to their games. Same shit with Tampa Bay. Tampa just has a really, really, really good scouting/development thing going on. |

The guy has a chance to stay in STL and get to legend status especially in the town of STL.
IMO Staying in one of the most historical baseball cities and becomes its icon>going to Miami for 30 million more dollars. But I guess i'm a poor college kid who doesn't understand 30 million dollars means. |

Surely he re-signs with StL again if this is the case... for all the reasons mentioned before.
