They are playing a series in AZ right now.

I assume Robert Evans wrote that second paragraph to get warmed up for football season.

I don't give a crap if it's free. No way they should have ever gone ahead with that. Give the fans a voucher or something if you can't get replacements in time.

Not his fault Reggie Bush failed to honor the "don't get caught" clause in his deal.

What exactly have they spent on that ballpark the last five years?

They also had the highest bid for Tanaka, IIRC. Almost sounds like a team that doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about teams with much smaller budgets getting a single extra pick that most likely won't amount to anything.

You called me "functionally illiterate, racist, fundamentalist christian ". Just pointing out you went 0-3.

I agree with all of this and also laughed at the video. I never understood why people take sports fandom so seriously. You are free to root for whatever team you want. It doesn't really take any guts to root for a successful one. I have way more respect for diehard fans of shitty teams. My teams in other sports all…

0-3 with a walk. Just another day at the ballpark for Curtis Granderson.

0-4. Just another night at the ballpark for Chris Young.

I hate to ruin the smug satisfaction you felt posting that, but those crime rates you always hear quoted about STL are not true. They only look at within the city limits which for STL is a small area/percentage of the population and includes all of the worst areas. It's the equivalent of ranking LA just based on South…

Dodgers fans...Angels fans...Raiders fans...Niners fans. I'm noticing a theme here.
