When a new season comes around for the Blues, Rams, and Cards, I'm always SOMEWHAT pumped. I even watched as our "beloved" Rams got squashed 38-0 way back in Sepetember. The Blues kicked off the season this year with an exciting 5-2 win over the Predators. So! Monday is the overblown celebration that is Opening Day and I just CANNOT get excited. I think this is for a few reasons.
1. The Blues are keeping us on the edge of our seats with an improbable playoff run. (Which I'm am really nervous about.)
2. Mizzou made the elite eight!? Who saw that coming? Except my friend Cameron. There's your much wanted credit Cam.
3. Deep down all you kool-aid drinking Cards fans know that this team isn't really that good. C'mon, be realisitic. No middle infield+No relief pitching+injuries that are sure to come back=another mediocre season.
As the season goes on baseball will start to interest me again. But as for now, the only baseball related topic I'm worried about is some good, old fashioned, non-steroid tainted, whiffle ball ;)

People in St. Louis enjoy baseball more than all other sports, get over it. Much like Green Bay likes football and Columbus OH loves soccer. If you don't like it, then you can move. I am not an idiot, i know of the cardinals struggles, but i am a fan of the team and thousands of fans will follow the team into their death. Just in case you were wondering the cardinals are the best hitting team in the national league, and they have the second most amount of world series wins in history. this is not an argument its an obvious statement.
ReplyDeleteNobody is saying that the Cardinals aren't loved, and everyone is still supporting the TEAM. But, the management has been downright atrocious. They passed on so many opportunities to make this team a contender. Maybe they'll surprise us and make a run, but it's not likely. People are going crazy about the Blues right now because they see such drastic improvement and the steps that Davidson has made to show how much management cares about the future of the organization. Mozeliak, on the other hand, makes it look like he's trying to run the team into the ground.
ReplyDeleteWell That's a good comment that in no way states that the Cardinals organization is a total joke of a program. You don't just count a team out before they even play a game.
ReplyDeleteYou do when they show no desire to win
ReplyDeleteshut out game by a recently signed young pitcher loch. i would consider that a desire to win.
