Tacky a good description. Players and coaches probably had zero to do with it though. I think “bush league” would apply more to on-field antics.

I'm afraid class has gone by the way of the internet.

Did anyone on this thread actually see the video or hear the clip of him saying this? Sure seemed like he was joking and just having fun with the question.

Pffft...it was just gamesmanship. And it backfired on the Cardinals. THAT'S why they probably shouldn't have done it, not because it may or may not have been "bush league." I am a proponent of avoiding giving your opponent "bulleting board material."

Kershaw is a cinch Hall of Famer, but in a hockey analogy, he's Nikita Kucherov: Great during the regular season; disappears when it really counts.

Perhaps a Busch commercial is in order.

How is that different from the Royals celebrating the anniversary of their WS victory over the Cardinals when the Cardinals were in KC?
Exactly....you beat me to it!
I’ve always liked Kershaw but there is big difference between “it bothered me” and “the Cards are Bush league”!

It’s not……

However, the bfibs like to believe that the cards are a better organization than
K C

To justify what the cards did by saying “k c did it too”…….undermines that belief….

The first step in being the better organization is to act like it…

I mean, didn't Kershaw get his revenge yesterday from the video? He won the game.

Like, that's all that needed to be said. "Yeah, well, who won today?"

Is that the standard? As long as we are not less classy than the Kansas City Royals? It's another example of living in yesterday. We don't need to go back however many years to validate ourselves- we just handed them their hat in the first two games of the series. It was in poor taste.
Its a highlight video to rally the fans vs the current opponent. Theres nothing wrong with what royals or cards did. Some people are just oversensitive

Agree
Both the KC celebration and Cards video yesterday were the same:
KC- ok you want to celebrate the 1985 team BUT you HAPPEN to chose the Cards weekend series to do it???
I don’t remember seeing any comments afterwards from the Cards and winning 2 of 3 was even sweeter!
Cards- I didn’t know about yesterday’s video until today when I saw Kershaw’s comments.
“Questionable” and “tacky”? Yes
Calling out the Cards for being “Bush league” was way over the top.
Bush League for one questionable video??? Maybe you need to grow a pair Clayton??

KC and Cards were tacky.
Clayton a bit of a butt hurt crybaby!
