Their refusal to spend on pitching for a true #1 (Gray isn’t a#1 and is older than signing a guy under 30) and inept development is catching up to them.

So they go like 83-79 this year. What ****ing happens in the off-season? More of the same shit with the FO saying they improved from last year.

I’ll be at the game today wearing black for the funeral in the bleachers.

Is wearing black a thing among fans in St. Louis or is that just your choice?

Just saw a shot of the dugout with Ole looking like Capt. Sobel in BOB. Lost as usual.

That’s the swing Walker needs! Hopefully they don’t screw him up again.

When they've lost Ramsfan, they lost the fan base

maybe they learn their lesson. Someone with that much talent goes 0-4 you don�t bench him. Send him to the minors.

Yeah we all got to Mo and the Dewitt jr have to go 3-4 years ago. I think he just turned on Mo last year.

My choice. Stayed all 9. Got poured on.

Game was fun to see the Yankees get their ass kicked but went against me wanting to see the Cardinals lose.

They have a handful of 50 FV prospects. You know what 50 FV projects to be? An Average MLB player. You know how often those kind of prospects even achieve average results? Like 10%.

Per BA's End of Year update:

Anthony is now #2 (behind Caminero, who's going to graduate)
Mayer -- 11
Campbell -- 25
Teel -- 26

Montgomery isn't rocketing up like the rst of them, but he's moved up to 61. I predicted 3 top 25 guys in the update and damn near got 4 (Teel will move into the top 25 in about 2 weeks when Caminero graduates). I also said they probably have 5 top 50 guys and just missed with Montgomery not quite breaking into it.

But when you have 4 guys in the top 25 and all of them are in AAA, it's hard to say that isn't a pretty loaded system.

Man I miss those 2001-2011 days. Even when he came back as a shell of himself from that era, he still managed somehow to reach 700. He was my favorite player since Bob Gibson.

This version of the Cardinals are a disgrace to the uniform. Not the players fault. Front office and ownership is the root cause of our issues.

Albert Pujols on his favorite tee drill & objective, today on #MLBCentral:
- Tee on outside corner (on the black)
- Drive the ball the other way, hit line drives; *NOT* hit the top of the cage. #shegone pic.twitter.com/rUlRcLGG1c
