I FINALLY got around to watching Money Ball last night. I wonder when the Cards starting making that approach...

Vegas has us tabbed at 87.5 wins and tying for the second wild card with San Francisco.
Stake your claim. Over or under. I'm going 89 wins. |

Cards are in trouble ...
as a hater of everything successful sports related - I want to see how the 'best fans in baseball' handle a 5-10 year stretch (which is coming) of futility (by Cards standards) that is inevitably coming ... will you still fill the stands? Will attendance still be right around the tops in the bigs? ...or, if the Cards actually suck for 4-5 years in a row ... will the following dwindle? Basically, in my adult life, the Cardinals have always been good and have always competed. I want to see them be terrible for a few years and I want to see what happens. Would love to see that fan base eat some crow after all of these years. ...really, really easy to cheer for a winner. Let's see how you guys handle a loser. |

...if you support a loser, I'll change my mind about you guys and give you the respect you deserve.
...but if attendance falls off the cliffs as the Cubs own that division for the time being ... I will bask in the fact you were all frauds and I knew it as such the whole time |

Hootie, it definitely is a front running fan base..in a year they struggled, Fans left games early in droves in one run games ALL the time if Big Mac had his last at bat of the night. They still draw, but the fan base is as fickle as anyone else. Won't be Royal suck level bad however.

...well, you'd have to give me 25+ years of straight sucktitude for me to be able to compare that
ALL of my friends are Cardinals (and Packers !!!!) fans ... I need to see the Cardinals suck for 3 straight years to see what kind of fans the BFIP really are ... My thoughts? The same as any other baseball fan. If your team sucks, you aren't gonna waste time showing up. My mom's boss has 2 sets of seasons tickets to Cards games and the last 5 games last year you couldn't even give those things away and they are really good tickets. Easy to be great fans when you always win. Want to see what happens when the Cubs own the division for 5 years. |

We aren't the BFIB, those are the Cubs. I can admit that.

again - all of my friends are Cards/Pack fans and all they've ever seen is winning .... Cards (obvi) and from Favre to Rodgers will be nice to see the Cards get roughed up a bit and can't wait to see how these smug assholes I have on my FB feed react to 5 years of 2nd fiddle |
