There are always potential buyers who have more money then BDW……and who actually want to WIN
That's why people aren't showing up...DeTwit and Mo-ran have stop putting a product on the field that is exciting...and we have no stars...we deserve better and we all can't live in the past when the franchise was relevant.

I'm old enough to be able to remember 4 ws champions (was around in '64 but too young). I am pretty sure that I have seen my last one but I'll still watch (some) and pay attention but I won't go to any games or get too excited when they win a few in a row. It's pretty obvious that this ownership group is much more interested in turning a profit than anything else.

Sorry you won’t be going to any games and share in the excitement with other fans when the Cardinals win.

I don't see the blue font so I'm guessing you are serious but you've been around long enough to know better. If (and it's a big if) they win again I think it will be quite some time.

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

Who’s the buyer who wants to invest in this mid market team out here in fly over country, Goldfan?
“David Rubenstein and his ownership group purchased the Baltimore Orioles for $1.725 billion, according to ESPN. This sale was approved by Major League Baseball owners in March 2024. “
Orioles Cranny…….in Baltimore, so please stop with the nonsensical defense of BDW

It appears the fans are sending a loud message...you let Mo-ran stay in charge a few years too long...and DeTwit needs to move on..new leadership.. .and bring back Cardinals baseball for the fans instead of a few front office (donkey) kissers.

Can you walk us through why dewitt should sell please..

He is selling a popular product..

He has virtually no competition for the sports entertainment dollar..

He has a very soft local sports media

And he has successful associated businesses such as the village.

It’s a virtual cash cow……he didn’t become a billionaire by selling cash cows…

Maybe BDW can sell the team to AB. Maybe Red would like that.

I would like it if Dimwitt sold the team. Took the fans for granted and not super motivated to win.

Especially when the Cards can’t figure out what the position is. He’ll Waino could hit better than most of the current roster and whoever they send up in that position.

I wouldn’t sell a very profitable business…

Would you?

Not sure it’s currently a popular product. People don’t want to spend 400 dollars to see minor league baseball
