#STLCards fans: "Money Mo doesn't spend any money, this roster stinks!!!"

Also Cards fans: "Marmol sucks, he can't put together a lineup or use the bullpen well"

Classic.

Yeah yeah yeah. Brewers win the Central again. The Cubs are in the playoffs. Boring.

At least the #STLCards enter the last week of the 2025 season with something to play for: .500

Amazing how war has been declared on an entire group of people without anyone being arrested/charged. While it's likely to have been someone with different beliefs, how wild people can claim it's time to go "scorched earth" on those who disagree with certain statements

I put this out today on Viva El Birdos and it was fun to write, even if it seems extremely unlikely.

Do you believe in the #STLCards position player core? If so, then why rebuild? Why not take advantage of those cheap contracts and compete quickly?

The Cardinals could compete in 2026… if they want to
The Cardinals might not be as far away from competition as you may think depending on your feelings about their young core.

Mikolas could give back to the people of St. Louis and waive his NTC. He has given the "better baseball" of late but maybe he can bring all that talent elsewhere
