Dear John

[Rojo Johnson]

I completely missed this in July. Glad it was revived. A real Dear John letter. Well done!!

I missed it then, too. Great letter. It doesn’t take much to be a loser. Johnny Boy has excelled at turning a silk purse into a sow’s ear. He’s such a disappointment. He’s found so many ways to fail. And Bill wears his badge of shame for allowing this to happen. But, REJOICE CARDINALS FANS. TODAY IS INDEPENDENCE DAY! We are rid of the bow tie wearing fraud forever and it feels so good.

Dear John,
Things used to be so exciting. I remember when we first got together how vigorous you were. We had such interesting friends. It was always fun to get together with Albert and Jimmy, with Chris and Adam and Scott and Yadier, and Tony and Dave. I know you didn’t like him- but even Jeff was an interesting part of our friend group. We all went places and did amazing things together. It was great. I’ll always remember 2011. Looking back, that really was our mountaintop experience! That was amazing and I loved it! Our friends envied us and wanted to be like us. Strangers wanted to be with us. I thought we would always be together, and things would be good for us.
After that, our friends began to leave and things were fine for a while, but by 2016 I didn’t even recognize us anymore. Our friends were gone, and we hadn’t really replaced them. I noticed we weren’t going places like we used to. There was talk that you and Chris had maybe done some things together that you shouldn’t have. I know you said that you didn’t, but I’ve always wondered. I suppose I’ll never know for sure. Along the way it seems like you lost your vigor.
I know you made a few efforts along the way. You reached out to Giancarlo, and David, and Jason, but you came up- well- short. It seems like they just didn’t find us interesting. It also seems like there were times, like with Max and Bryce, that you didn’t even try. You did manage to make friends with Paul and Nolan, and each time it seemed like we might really be going somewhere, but you stopped, and came up short again. John, I’ve gotten so used to you coming up short that I don’t even expect anything from you now- and let me tell you- it’s very unsatisfying.
For years now, we’ve been going along as a shell of ourselves. We don’t go anywhere. We don’t do anything. We don’t have any fun. Now, nobody wants to be with us. John, it’s gotten to where I don’t want to be with us. I don’t know what happened to you, but you only want to do what you want to do, talk about what you want to talk about, and you send away anyone who doesn’t want to live that way.
John, I know you plan to leave me soon- but you can’t- I’m leaving you first. We’ll always have 2011, but that was a long time ago. Best of luck John.

P.S. It’s not me- it’s you.

Well done!

9/28/2025 a day that will live in infamy for St Louis Cardinal baseball fans.

A break up day that we want to approach MO Ran to "look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-(donkey), bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey [shirt] he is! Hallelujah! Holy [shirt]! Where's the Tylenol?"

Instead Talkin Baseball provided us with best "break up" document. This is of such quality the document should be sent to MO Ran's next, fictitious, team the FO wants us to believe "need" his services. A copy should be sent to DinWallet for good measure.

Thank you to Talkin Baseball - great Cardinal fan.

[Mort Gage]

And well done to you....

Thanks, I'm glad you got it

The recognition on the field at the last homestand wasn't enough. We just HAVE to have one more press conference. Vomitous.

As I have said so many times over the years, when Mo falls in love, he falls hard.
His heart has been broken so many times.
And now, you have broken it again - but you are right to do so.

One has to have a heart for it to be broken.

Dear Marmol......

I guess he'll say at this postgame press conference: "I guess you're stuck with me for another month."

That beats last year's threat.

[Hazelwood72]

While Emancipation Day sounds good, I propose we call this “Johnteenth Day”.
