those same players put on a pathetic lackadaisical display this weekend while losing to possibly the leagues worst team.

Matt Carpenter is hitting .195 but hey he has some walks to go with that. More walks than hits.

Have you watched the NL? This league sucks beyond the Dodgers. I'd probably give the Padres a higher chance but thats about it. The Braves have 1 pitcher and a dude they just called up thats done pretty good in his first 2 starts.
Everyone else pretty much sucks and are feeding off of eachother. |

Gee thanks, BenFred.
I mean - I was only pounding the table for the guy 9 months before he was posted and openly furious when we let the White Sox snipe him. But hey - welcome to the !@#$ing party. Care to take aim at the REST of the mind-numbingly stupid things John Mozeliak has done over the last 60 months? Because brotha, you'd fill a whole bunch of column inches. |

Oh, and Matt Carpenter is absolutely DONE.
Good work on that wholly unnecessary PR extension when you had a !@#$ing option year on the guy, Mozeliak. Just brilliant, buddy. |

At least 3B isn’t arguably the deepest position we have in the minors! (Although Montero and Gorman are still probably a couple years away.)

That may be his dumbest move yet and that is saying something. I don't know how you mess that one up.

It was their annual 'lock up the core' PR extension. They have one essentially every year. They don't care about winning, folks. Haven't since LaRussa left. It's all about sheering sheep with BDW. He can send out good ol' wholesome Carpenter, blab about committing to this key piece of the team/community, and...well...."baaaaaaaaaaaaa" No team that gives a shit about winning a championship retains John Mozeliak. Not when there are genuine superstar executives coming from organizations all throughout baseball there for the taking. This isn't about Mozeliak or nothing - there are BRILLIANT minds on other teams in this league who are doing remarkable stuff. And the Cardinals....aren't. You fire Mozeliak because there are better, smarter, more intuitive, more aggressive minds out there who will make this team a winner and for CHEAPER than Mozeliak can (which is all BDW cares about). But Dewitt's tuned out because the cash register keeps ringing. |

Which I’ve never understood. If they suck, how are you getting any money out of that bad contract? Do you not make it worse by playing an underperforming to suck ass player with a bad contract? |
