There's an argument that the Royals have a MORE successful recent history than the Cubs. That said, I think Chicago picks off another pennant over the next 3 years and if they get the WS out of that, the whole calculus of this era changes. They won 95 games last season with Bryant hurt/mediocre all year, Rizzo mediocre most of the year, Contreras regressing and getting NOTHING from Darvish or Chatwood. It's damn impressive that they got to 95 with what they dealt with last year. Then again, they're closing in on a $200 million payroll so anything less than that is a pretty poor ROI. But they have 100 win ability and will for the next 2-3 seasons.

Where did I say they were trash? Again you claim they are cream of the NL, yet LA has taken the crown the past 2 years straight. That’s a fact. You didn’t even win the division this past year. How are you the cream again?

That's some very strong denial if that's your stance. |

Position wise they have a lot to like. They can put together a good line up, but nothing like what it looked like they might be 3 years ago. Until they prove it the Cards are still a step or two behind. I like our pitching depth and potential. They need to add a top end bat preferably left handed. |

Cardinals put on their Twitter huge announcement coming the 19th or some shit. I’m sure the huge announcement is something along the lines of beer prices staying the same for next year, however you will get 2 fewer ounces.

yeah no way is that baseball on the field related. Teams do that when they get new sponsors, going to add to the stadium. Probably getting a new resteraunt or something.

Isn't that standard for all players when they first come up because they seldomed faced MLB breaking balls in the minors?
