    I think I screwed myself over by waiting to get aggressive on pricing until this week. The weather forecast has completely killed the last minute market. I had them up since February for a couple bucks above face (which wasn't a ton given the tiers). Sold a bunch of games this way, but not the last couple. I had these for below face two days ago and less than half as of last night. No dice. I sold for well over face for almost every game. Lost a few dollars per ticket on a couple of the weeknight games. By far the best April I've had in the 5 years I've been a season ticket holder, but I did get rid of tickets before people knew the forecasts. Section?

    They didn't sell on StubHub and I mean I'd rather see one of you guys get them than have them go to waste.

    If it wasn't clear, I'm offering these up for free. I can email them over. Pretty good seats on the 3rd base side.

    i don't know much about fuller's injury history, but microfracture surgery is never a term i like seeing.

    if they were actually good, having two corners who are brothers would be the coolest thing ever. they all better be (i'm sorry, I apologize, that was bad, I will walk away now) i served it up for you and i knew it was coming

    devil's advocate (and i love this FO as much as anyone and we all know that you can easily screw up early round picks) - all of those guys were relatively early picks in the 1st round i want some of these damn random 6th rounders to come out of nowhere and turn into real guys. i realize it's easier said than done with overslots being less of a thing than when they were finding guys in boston. just give me a dylan cease breakout this year or something. or can some random older dude like stephen bruno or hanneman become a cardinal-like thing?

    It better be a strength because they won't be lighting up the scoreboard. What is the front 7 depth right now? If the line is OK (right side should be substantially upgraded) and zach miller plays most of the year, i think the offense will at least be average. could be more depending on how good white really is. if white is really good, then that's a hell of a WR combo. if he's just OK, it's still pretty good. if he's trash, then, yeah, we probably don't score much. i guess alshon's health is a question too. he did play 2 full seasons before last year.

    No, I didn't say they have a license to suck. I said they have no pressure to shove a rookie QB into the starting lineup right away. A Super Bowl win buys you time. It just seems like throwing a rookie QB on a team that just won the SB but suddenly has no QB at all isn't exactly a clear cut low pressure scenario.

    I'm not taking issue with any of what you say (I didn't really care about the risky/best classification anyway...just wanted to see the analysis/info on Floyd) nor do I disagree with any of it except this part. What does that matter? They won a Super Bowl, yes, but their starting QB retired, their other one left via FA. How can they really afford to be patient when they don't really have a quarterback? Or are you just saying they have license to suck for a bit if they have to because they just won one? What does it matter? Seriously? What does winning the Super Bowl last year matter? They won the super bowl last year. The pressure is off for 2016, at least. There is no desperate need to shove a guy who isn't ready into the starting lineup. Desperate teams who trade up into the first to take a QB they need to start right away are taking a risk. Nobody has their job on the line. ok, so you're saying the thing i said. that's what i asked. i don't really agree, but whatever.

    Try the actual season ticket holders thread next time if you want to get a hold of the season ticket holders. ;)

    It absolutely boggles my mind that a presumably educated person actually believes this. I could understand it if the Cubs had a team filled with players that choked miserably in the past (yes the Cubs got swept by the Mets but that was a systematic destruction not players choking IMO). But to believe some higher power is directing the Cubs to fail simply because they are the Cubs is ridiculous as a serious argument. it's all cardinals and white sox fans have left to cling to. it's a good thing. that line and the goat references.

    http://interact.stltoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1173165 A lot of this is boringly level-headed, to those posters' credit, but there's plenty of hilariously delusional stuff too. Like the guy who thinks the Cubs offense sucks because of batting average and the guy who thinks the Cards roll out a better 8 than the Cubs on any given day (might've been the same guy - too lazy to check).
