Cardinals 2011
Yankees 2009
I call winning 11 WS is a "storied franchise".

Re: We are watching a AAA team
Yes, they certainly are. Even stories franchises have down years. Red Sox had 1 playoff appearance in the last 6 seasons coming into this year. They’ve been last in their division 6 times since the Cardinals last won a WS. Yankees are another story, they’ve been mostly consistent in making the playoffs, albeit they are the Yankees with a huge payroll and an attractive market that attracts superstars, so they should. Cardinals don’t have the payroll size or the kind of market that attracts the best of the best that the Yankees have. Even with their storied franchise history. And that makes what the Cardinals have done all the more special.OldRed wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 08:45 amRed Sox 2018Futuregm2 wrote: ↑12 Aug 2025 08:38 amProbably not calling them a AAA team.

Just checked a Braves forum. Zowee. Much worse than CT.

Re: We are watching a AAA team
Getting shut out at home by a team 58 games under .500 before mid-August sounds pretty AAA to me.
Re: We are watching a AAA team
I wouldn’t call them a Triple A team, but what I would say is they are awful to watch.
I live in central Illinois, and usually make to St. Louis a handful of times to see a game.
Ive not been since 2022, and don’t plan on going anytime soon.
