He literally said that looking at last year mid 80 wins got you in the playoffs, so that's what they aimed for. Not winning the division, not becoming a legit WS contender while being the 4th largest market in the ****ing sport... mid 80 wins. So he trotted out virtually the same ****ing team as last season with the addition of a Japanese pitcher who's potential greatly outweighed the risk of the contract he would get. And what do you know, they ended with the same god damn record. He was just bummed it took 90 wins this year. |

Oh you sweet summer child. Our owner said that 6 years ago. BEFORE the playoffs expanded. We want to play meaningful baseball in September and 88 wins makes the playoffs... So yeah, you know 85 wins and sneaking in by a game was the target mark with that sweet, sweeet 3rd wild card spot. But he just didn't count on so many teams in the NL being bad enough that it still took 89 to make the post-season. Lemme tell ya - The fun has just begun. When ownership gets it in their heads that simply sneaking into the playoffs is all you need to do, it's just a JOY to watch them work. You're gonna like how this goes. Because you see, shortly before that sort of thing happens, you get "88 wins isn't good enough" but not long after you get post-game pressers where nothing changes and your owner says "83 wins is a winning season...I think its an exciting team to watch" Enjoy. |

Normally I love a good DJ rant but that last one is just depressing.

We're racing the Pirates for the basement. Cincy has WAY more talent that the Cardinals and a lot more room for growth. |
