Lord - we're sending organizational chaff like Matt Svanson to the AFL?
Yeah, that says about what needs to be said about the state of our system. |

Gotta try something, since the organization doesn't seem too interested in playing in the MLB fall league anymore.

Dude has plenary authority over all of baseball ops. HE chose that direction that led to the implosion of our player development system. And idiot assholes like me pointed this out EIGHT YEARS AGO. When the Cardinals were still winning 90-100 games/season many of us were saying "Hey guys...uh...do you notice that our minor leagues usually kinda suck?" |

It has not been a fun year. Burn all of management and start over.

I cancelled once before after another political story they ran and told them why, they basically hit me back a few months later with a $20 for a year offer so reupped for 1 year. Ended up cancelling again. **** that rag as I told them I don't go to sports news sights to read about politics. |

He starts to make shortsighted decisions to save his job. If we'd have moved on from Mozeliak when I wanted to, the new blood makes the long term decisions 5+ years ago that the honeymoon period allows him to make and we aren't in this position. This is all born of God-awful leadership and nothing more. |
