It's par for the course at this point. I just assume now that if we're trading someone we're getting hosed. And unless fans continue to stay home in droves nothing will change. I haven't spent a penny on the Cardinals this year and i won't until they actually make changes and prove it to me.

All I can think of is "cold dead hand." You get a guy who you kept for 3 and half weeks???? Great management of a roster there....

As long as you don't give them a penny at the stadium.
We need for this guy to turn into a all star now or ace to complete the cycle

See the problem with that is when I go to a game I want Nachos (honestly the only time I ever get nachos anymore is at a ballgame and I haven't been in over a year)

I don't understand DFAing Armstrong. He was fine while here. Some team will claim him and he'll be an integral part of a post season run just to put the cherry on top.
I don't know if Leahy has any options left, but that would've been my target. Not the guy you just got who was one of the best relievers in baseball last year.
Or even better, I wouldn't shed a tear if they'd just get rid of Mikolas whether its via DFA or sending him back to the KBO
Just going to keep editing this line by line while i rant. I also see no purpose that Jose Fermin serves. Nor do I see much of a purpose for Luken Baker being up. It's not like we're willing to give him an opportunity to make the team as a bench bat. It's been going on 2 or 3 years now where he's been really good in the Minors and doesn't get a look there.

Cardinals: we are going to overpay for vets who are in the twilights of their careers and if the fans don't show up well spend less money on the on field product. We are also going to jerk our top prospects up and down between AAA and the MLB when they are not ready for everyday MLB play.
Blues: we are going to try to target young players who are in the age range between our three biggest players in Neighbours, Thomas And Kyrou by picking up Texier, Holloway, and Broberg while also having stacking our forward prospects pipeline and trying to also get quality defensive prospects as well. We are also going to weaponize our capspace by targeting players like M. Joseph, Suter, and Faksa to fill some other holes in the lineup on short term deals while we allow our prospects to grow so we aren't forcing them into the NHL too soon.

Just had an epiphany. The front office is so outraged by the local fan bases criticism for the Cardinals, and praise for the Blues. Shawn Armstrong has paid the price for Armstrong and the offersheets. Those edmonton fans were right, other GMs were watching and were waiting to make Army pay for it.

Nah, I’m predicting they pull a Blues move and get hot in September but it’s too little too late and we end up picking like 15th

Nothing beats ballpark Nachos. Honestly, its like 5-10 dollars they will get out of you. Just go and have fun. I would if I got free tickets.
I think that if these attendance (and hopefully TV ratings, havent checked on those) continue to drop, they are going to be FORCED to make a move.

Nothing beats obnoxiously cheering for the Cardinals at Wrigley Field and then being bombarded by condiment-stained garbage. Nacho cheese, mustard, a few peanut shells stuck to said condiments. Good fun!
If I don't leave Wrigley looking all grubby, then I did something wrong.

I was curious and checked out Cards tickets on Resale sites becauae of the News. And Jesus. 1-5 dollar tickets all throughout the stadium
They had free tickets earlier this week, just had to pay the ticket fees lol

I'm hoping it's that Bare on the 6th. What better than have a Empty Ballpark on a Friday night in September
