Here is another fun one. Voit who was given away last year has a fangraphs WAR of 1.4 while Goldschmidt has a 0.9.

But y'all assured me that we clearly stole him and Goldschmidt would be awesome...

The sad thing is that ownership/management has become as myopic as the fans these days. They truly only see what they want to see.

they have become fat, happy and complacent. It sucks we have fallen so far from the aggressive teams of Larussa.

I’m sure other teams fans are upset too. We have the worst record in the NL since May 2nd. Yet, we are still only 2-3 games out of the division lead. I thought the Centrsl was filled with good teams this year?

this BS is exactly what Immtslking about. Everything is great. Nothing to see here.

You've gotta go back to one of Bernie's first columns on The Athletic to see what this team is missing now. Well...apart from talent.

It's fear. And not by us, but by the opposition. Go read what players said about the Cardinals when they were off the record - they were genuinely intimidated by LaRussa and that 2000-2010 era squad. They hated playing the Cardinals. Hated going into Busch. Hated seeing LaRussa and Duncan glowering across the line.

This team wouldn't rattle a DI college squad.

:rolleyes:

Two runs in 20 innings against the worst team in baseball.

All is well.
:sulk:

Can we trade for Scherzer?

Sure.

One of Gorman or Carlson has to be the centerpiece. Still wanna do it?

The Cardinals wouldn't simply pay the man as a FA despite him openly lobbying to come to STL.

Easily the most embarrassing miss of the Mozeliak era. But hey, at least Moe figured out the error of his ways and brought in Mike !@#$ing Leake the following season.

HOW DOES JOHN MOZELIAK STILL HAVE A ****ING JOB!?!?!??!??!?

yeah, that ship has sailed. What a missed oppertunity. :sulk:

Wtf is Tommy Edman?

Wongs replacement when he gets traded at the deadline for pitching?
