I've never seen you savage the Cardinals at all now that I think about it. Perhaps it comes down to stones. Don't got the stones? You ignorant punk. I play for money. I owe rent. Child support. I play for money, not the ****in' world series on ESPN.
Look at the very first reply to this thread. [Reply]

WTF is going on in the front office? Arebthe Dewitt’s even paying attention?
Imagine if the Chiefs signed the top LT on the market and moved him to fullback. [Reply]

How does Mo explain this to DeWitt? Under no scenario could this have been the plan to replace Molina and spend $87 million. And further clog up the team with more outfielders. [Reply]
Over the years I've proven my bonfides as a rose colored glasses homer. Yes, we have some top talent not too far from the big show. But...…
as long as Dewitt is stingy with his payroll, Mo is in charge of which players are on the team, keeps picking "yes" men to lead the team...... we are dead in the water with no chance to ever seriously compete for a championship. [Reply]
With DeJong, Donovan, Edman and Gorman all needing those reps at SS and 2b, there's just no room for Winn.
Logjams man. Just so many logjams. Logjams in the outfield, logjams in the infield. Just so many great players and nowhere to play them. Pitching staff is logjammed and that's why we can't get a look at Liberatore or Graceffo.
If only Tyler O'Neill would hustle or Contreras could block balls to his right. If so, we'd be the best team in baseball. What with all the logjams and all.
They're just TOO good. Mozeliak's put FAR too much talent on this team and it's getting in the way of winning ballgames. [Reply]
