I thought you disapproved of name calling.
Just quoting what a moderator called him, QV. I was told “don’t feed the troll.” It was good advice.
That’s not a quote.
When a moderator talks to you privately, QV, it’s wise to listen to what they say.
When a moderator talks to you privately, it’s because they want you to shut the [fork] up. It’s not because you’re special.
I totally understand that. And have put the troll (their term, not mine) on ignore per their instructions. And have kept it that way per their warning. I mean (as you so eloquently put it), what the fork, QV.

Attended the Friday and Saturday games. Informal group of financial investors - medical, farming, mfct, etc represented. Get together at least twice a year. Iowa, Mo, Ill, Wisc, Indiana, ect represented.

Suites were excellent to watch the game and have conversations. To a person, no one said a positive comment about DimWallet. Had reduced significantly their commitment's to attending games. Ex. 40 games in section 100 seating + 4 games in luxury suites - down to 4 games in luxury suites. Got the typical veiled threats for not forking over the cash but said do be it and many have actually found other activities - that could be the death stroke to DimWallet letting those dollars walk. The attendants for the suites were not bashful about the drop off in attendance not only for suites but all seats. Person knows how the Cards are playing but it is just flat out odd hearing employees talking about lack of attendance.

It was interesting - in the National Car suite friends family members chose to watch game in that location as cost per seat was + $20-$30 than lower level sections. All inclusive. Your going to spend the money on adult beverages and food anyway so why not.

Not sure what rationale for ho hum attendance for Brewer series considering the opponent.

FYI - IF you find yourself near the beginning of game and no score sheet. Ask an attendant (or whatever their title) to use a Cardinal Publications sheet with scan code and they will bring you any of their publications at concession price and no delivery fee. It is a great service. Young professional who brought the items was great in explaining the service etc.

Excellent post (except for the silly nickname). There's some good information there. Thanks for sharing.

thank you, Quincy.

That made me chuckle quite a bit on a Monday. Safe to say, that would do the trick on all 7 days.

Then why do you consistently fail to "listen to what they say?" A couple weeks ago, you directly quote-replied to WLTFE and lied about not being able to read his post. [As a purely technical matter, it is impossible to directly quote-reply to a post without being able to see/read it.]

I can’t read your post, but you’ve been warned to stop stalking by the moderators (like I’ve been warned) so I suggest you stop before you’re banned.
Interesting exchange...I can't read his posts unless quoted as I was told to put him on ignore...he reported me and I got put into timeout which I accepted...I simply ignore his posts and move on...apparently, that's difficult for some posters.

Thanks for the fine advice about the fork. But far more important is thanking you for the terrific job you do on here. Shades of BRuby and Gagliano.

Cards were in NYC for my Birthday, which happened to fall on Easter this year, 4/20.

Friend offered me 2 of his 4 season tickets to the game as a gift.

I passed. It was a good decision. Net Net, I will not be seeing the Cards in person this season. And I couldn't care any less.

I am done contributing a Plum Cent or any other kind of cent as long as the DeWitts, any DeWitt has anything to do with this team.

Really wanted a new cap. I will wait. Years if I have to!!!

A lot if fans are agreeing with you...there are fans who've supported this franchise and are disappointed in what we are seeing now...of course the front office (donkey) kissers will call you out.

”We’ll miss you”? Do you own a portion of the franchise?

Yes, don’t dig in and fix the obvious issues……tell fans you hope they return someday…..this is exactly the attitude of ownership
Which is why MANY fans have had enough.

No, Daze says he’s stepping away, and I happen to think he’s a good fan and a good poster. Saying we’ll miss him was sincere.
