    Zawaski is reporting that the Hawks were offering Saad 2 years at $2.8m AAV and trying to sell him on playing for cheap for 2 years then getting a much bigger deal. Saads camp is said to be asking for 4 years at $4m AAV. If I am the Hawks I [expletive] accept that offer before Wednesday when some team will offer him at the very least 5/25. His wording was unclear but he made it seem like he heard the Hawks chances of keeping Saad were 50/50 which I think is insane and false(and he says basically the same thing)

    What is the difference between 24 year olds who have been in the majors for 3-4 years and 24 year olds who are playing in their second year? Just curious if there is a difference and if adjusting to major league pitching has its own performance curve regardless of age

    Welp, he will probably be getting a lot of ice time next year.

    Yes. You should call Jim Hendry's office and offer up that advice. Don't listen to him. Apparently doing this gives you cancer.

    You misspelled Szczur

    Wait do they really have a wall honoring dead drunk driving cardinals?

    Given that we know the playoffs come down to luck more than anything, that doesn't help. Our history with luck is pretty terrible. That Will Ferrell spoofish Lifetime movie is on. We've made the playoffs 6 times in the last 70 years, so its not like we've had a ton of chances to succeed in the playoffs.

    and.....you officially crossed my 'ignore threshold'
  9. UMFan83
    We'll get there with this squad, possibly by the end of the season

    yes lets point at my teammates in the dugout after an rbi double in the 4th inning of the 77th game of the year
  11. UMFan83
    when is that karmic retribution coming for the cardinals being [expletive] bags?

    For anyone hoping Starlin was turning the corner...4-25 in his last 7 games with a .160/.160/.200/.360 line

    Come on Bryant, don't go all Javy on us.

    So annoying that this will probably knock Hammel out forcing the game in the hands of a very taxed pen that has had to pitch 6+ innings twice in the past week.

    because a lot of fans like schadenfreude and came here to read some and instead saw us talking about how their fans are yokels and outwardly wishing their players would die. So they got all worked up and responded. Because they are little brother of a city and think that having a more successful baseball team justifies their decision to live in a backwater city. Because they are pissed their football team is leaving, their hockey team choked in the first round again while their rivals won another Cup and have nothing else to turn to but their baseball team as a source of pride. Because they are overly defensive after their team got caught blatantly cheating. Lots of reasons really

    These new posters we've gotten sure have been swell additions haven't they?
  17. UMFan83
    I'm surprised Heyward didn't run into the dugout, take a curtain call, and then run back on the field
  18. UMFan83
    Because if there's one thing the Cardinals do, it's completely gag in the playoffs. They have before And the time they blew that 3-1 lead in the nlcs

    Random MLS question...what is up with the Chicago Fire? It seems like the league is gaining traction, there are legit rivalries, rabid fan bases, etc but here in Chicago it seems like the local team is just "there". Just a rather irrelevant team with little local coverage, a nice stadium but one way out of the way and surpassed by a large chunk of the league. I know that the team has sucked for several years and that hurts as the league rises. And I know they are lacking an aging superstar from Europe or SA like many teams have. Is my perception as a very very casual fan correct? I'd love to get into the MLS as I see the excitement in cities like Seattle, Portland, LA, NY, KC etc but honestly the Fire don't even seem like they are in the same league as the teams in those markets. They just seem to be running in mud.

    Instead of a complete moron we get a bunch of ripping on Castro.
  21. UMFan83
    Cardinals will coast to best record in baseball and then fall fat on their faces in the NLDS
  22. UMFan83
    Eat a bag of dicks Haha. Whatever you say little brother. Haha like anyone from that [expletive] bag city has the right to call a Chicagoan little brother. I'd much rather root for my sad sack franchise then cheer amongst you yokels. Plus I guess I'd kind of get sick of mourning one of my active players dying every couple of months.
  23. UMFan83
    This is the most Cardinals series ever
  24. UMFan83
    Bryant is something like 5 for his last 34 with a K rate around 40. Of course he single handedly won a game for us during that stretch so he's still and will forever be awesome.
  25. UMFan83
    if only your name was spelled Addissonn you too could be clutch like my boy Donn Roach
