Post by OldRed »

Seriously, what has this ownership done to improve the current team? Name one!

I'm 73 and I can't go to games when it’s hot...so I go watch soccer instead!

I'm 80 and I'll wait until hockey, and I just nocked my hot milk on the floor.

Okay, I’ll play. I am 76 and 100-proof neat still tastes mighty good.

P.S. Sell, Bill.

Are there any buyers identified? Why would Dimwit sell the team?

Do you seriously think that a new owner who pays billions for the team (and finances much of it) is going to
spend additional player payroll money for your pleasure?

Um, baseball is entertainment and by definition owners are supposed to put a product out there that is for the fans' pleasure. I guess this fan base has been beaten down so much over the last few seasons that some of us have forgotten that. The empty seats testify to the fact that not everybody has forgotten, however.

There are always potential buyers who have more money then BDW……and who actually want to WIN

Well, Freed. I guess the crater is deep. By the way, how many teams have a worse record than the Cardinals? And why aren’t they putting an entertainment product out there for the fans’ pleasure?

Oh really, Goldfan? Please name a few who might be interested in this smaller market.

This smaller market overperforms when given a real effort. Course after destroying a full stadium nightly Perhaps some damage has been done. But time for DeWitts family to cash in
