Lmao
Daze - if a certain poster mentions section 148, how heat affects older people, or the soccer team, all he’s doing is stalking and trolling. Which he’s been warned not to do by the powers to be. Do you want to participate in that? I thought you were far above it.
Might Section 148 be kind of like Room 101 in Orwell's "1984"? A torture chamber for fans of good baseball broiling in the summer heat as they watch the implosion of an iconic franchise.

For me we have to travel a minimum 2 hours to see them in New York and over 3 hours to see them in Boston. It’s 18 hours to STL to see them at Busch. The current state of the franchise does not motivate me to make those commitments.

I ended up cancelling Extra Inmings in 2024 (I do get MLBTV through my cell plan). I tend to be watching as much of the Minor League games as I am the Major League ones. Some nights I have a game from the Minors and the Cardinals on at the same time.

I think it sells once BDW jr hands it fully over to his wig wearing son.
He would look good with one of those Brock-A-Brellas holding it down. ::crazya::

Yup. I was at the Colorado shut out. Most boring game I ever saw.

Watching the Cardinals hit is more boring than watching grass grow, and takes a lot more time to show results.

Yeah, I hear the sun’s much cooler at soccer pitches. True story.

What is it with wig wearing owners in StL? First the despicable Kroenke. Now the weird BDW 3.

This.

I don’t go to games because to me it’s not a good or even ok value for the money spent.

$ 10 hot dogs and $ 14 beers plus mediocre baseball is not a big draw - at least for me.
