The third inning was one of the worst innings of baseball I've seen from a team in a long time.

This team is just dumb as fuck in every way imaginable. It is the perfect Matheny squad.

Haha this is a joke. MM now has Carp hitting 2nd with Yadi hitting 3rd followed by Jedd,Piscoty,Dejong

It's contagious in the NL Central.

3/4th of me just wants them to bring the best players from AAA and AA and say screw the record and see what happens. It can't get much worse then it is now.

Broxton released. Gant recalled.

Woopity doo.

Do you think they're any chance they can finish badly enough this year to get Matheny canned?
[Reply]

Nah.

Bill DeWitt would have to give a shit to make a decision like that. He clearly doesn't anymore.

He's on auto-pilot. Mikey Dreamboat brings fans in because he's just so handsome and played the game right, y'know...

So instead we'll have an idiot manager leading a team who's best player is also an idiot and we'll continue to wonder why the team plays stupid baseball.

And John Mozeliak will continue with his best Carl Peterson impression - say a lot of words that mean nothing, talk a big game, take no chances on anything ever and make sure that you never truly suck horribly even if it means you'll never actually be good again either.

5 years ago Mike Matheny took over a WS champion with the best farm system in baseball. Every single thing on this team - literally every single thing - has gotten worse since. Just a slow, steady decay and Bill DeWitt simply doesn't give enough fucks to make any dramatic changes.

Cheer up guys! The Cubs just got swept in back to back series by the Dodgers and the fucking Padres.

I'll admit, that does help a little.... :-)

God our entire division is top to bottom crap right now.
[Reply]

Pfffft. If you ask the managers of each team everything is all hunky dory.
[Reply]

I for one am glad to see them do at least 1 thing that makes sense.

Just maybe some other guys will see that and grow a brain. Doubtful though.

Hey ESPN the inning has started...
[Reply]

Cubs have talented players that can turn it around. This Cards team has a bunch of AAAA players. I'm really disappointed Mozeliak let this happen.
[Reply]

Martinez is the only legit really good player on this team.
[Reply]

I said it earlier in this thread but their baseball coverage is nearly unwatchable. If I could get Cards games on FSMW I'd never watch an inning on ESPN.
