At least we don't have players this year telling us to eat [shirt]. That's gotta count for something.
Who did that? And is that exactly what they said?
Don’t be obtuse Cranny - you know exactly what was said and by whom.
Actually, Bomber I don't know who said it. Or what was said. Maybe I don't follow the Cardinals as well as you do.
I'm not being obtuse, just asking an honest question.
“I’m not going to tell all the people doubting us to eat [shirt]. I’d like to, but in the off chance I’m wrong, I look like an idiot. But in the chance they’re wrong and I’m right, that’d be pretty neat.” Miles Mikolas, Opening Day starter, is ready for 2024.

Was he talking about the uneducated trolls like we have here, who claimed Cardinals would finish with 70 wins or less, and in last place?

If so, Mikolas was spot on.
Okay! Got it. It was about some "dour people" on CT. Makes sense. Fair weather fans.

Wow - so by your response I gather you think Mikolas’ boneheaded trashing of the fans was ok for him to do?
Because that’s exactly what it was, and his statement had less than nothing to do with “dour people on CT”.
And to use one of your lame sayings - But you already knew that Cranny.

CT can sure be dour and defeatist sometimes.
Miserable spoiled trolls.
Some sure are. And they can really become nasty if you don’t join their defeatist crowd.
Couple notes. Yes I’ve seen it ugly. That’s a side affect of social media. It also falls under - it takes one to know one.
I don’t have issues with the “ nastys.” I’m remiss to know who they are. I try and stay center cut.

That was the Cardinals team slash line coming into todays 2-0 loss, two (2) lousy hit game.
Sure it's "only spring training" but does anyone really think this group is going to "turn it on" when it counts?
I'm starting to wonder.
I certainly don't.
We've become a laughingstock. So sad!
Since the Cards had a winning season in 2024, why are they a “laughing stock”, Monsieur?
They were once an elite franchise who were a WS contender year after year.
Their farm system is now a joke, their recent track record at developing players is abysmal, and their trades & free agent signings have failed to pan out as of late.
Are you not paying attention? Have you not noticed nearly every baseball writer and talking head giving them an "F" this past offseason.
Please excuse me for not joining you and celebrating last season's 83 win team! I'm sorry, there are certain franchises in pro sports which are held to a higher standard...The Lakers & Celtics in basketball...The Packers & Cowboys in football...Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan in college football...and traditionally, the Yankees, Cards, and Dodgers in baseball!
Are we effing the Chicago Cubs? I'm a proud Card's fan for over 60 years...but this current team, and most importantly, this current franchise direction is far beneath my standards for Cardinal baseball!
“This farm system is now a joke.”
You do know, Monsieur, that the Cardinals minor league pitching was recently rated #3 out of 30 systems?
Of course people here know - you've been bringing it up all off-season. Then as now, all this tells you is the rest of the farm is so bad it dragged that 3rd ranked pitching right into the gutter.

Cranny, can you forward the direct link to BDW where your Happy Homer typing sways or helps with BDW/MO making the correct baseball decisions and spending more money to put a WS team on the field? The fantasy land where you reside is so perverted from reality it’s laughable. Go watch your high school, college, independent league ball for the purity of the game……have a great time. But constantly coming on here telling all of us that what we’re seeing, experiencing, and real time data isn’t actually real……makes you look like fool. Most fans want an entertaining competitive winner….not just the ability to go watch some guys in uniform play a baseball game.
you're probably get a,warning from one of them soon
