Cardinals lost their identity

[Cranny]

The Cardinals lost their identity about 10 years ago. When Jeff Luhnow left the organization, Johnny Mozeliak gained full control. He used his trifecta talents of laziness, foolishness, and arrogance to drive the team off the cliff. Left unchecked by BDW, Mozeliak fired anyone who pushed back. That resulted in the mess we have today. What a putz.

He actually was quite good for many years. Just tailed off at the end.

just tailed off at the end

ROFL

How many times was he MLB NL Executive of the Year, 82?

And we won WW 2, so what? Geez man give it a rest.

Okay, Riff Raff. How about this. The “Putz” was named MLB Executive of the Year in 2011. What a “Putz”.

I didn't call him a putz. That's Juan who has Mo so far up his (donkey) that it'll take a team of surgeons to extract him not to mention the years of therapy that will be required just to get him back to semi normal. If he's ever been normal that is.

You on the other hand slobber on Mo's nob so incessantly you may never be the same.
Good luck to the both of you saying the same [shirt] over and over and over.

Actually, Riff Raff that’s not the case. I’ve criticized Mo many times in the past for moves he’s made. But he was part of the organization for almost 30 years, and if you and others don’t think he contributed positively many times at many levels, you’re flat out wrong. Also, I don’t care for your sexual connotation, sir.

Spot on

Don’t underestimate HackGate either, there was some nefarious back room dealing with Manfred to save BDW and Mo, lone wolf theory never passed the smell test

I agree it seemed fishy that one underling was able to do this without anyone knowing. What do you think it took to keep him quiet?

Fair, however, I’ve never understood the scenario under which the Feds would have overlooked this. I would guess they knew everything there was to know, and if things went higher, why wouldn’t the FBI have indicted everyone? Why would they have let BDW and Mo off the hook? That never made sense to me.

$$$$$$. The answer to most questions.

Are you implying the Feds were bought off by BDW/MLB/some combination thereof?

Not bought off. But BDW has lots of money and powerful, influential friends.

Thank you, Juan.

I’ll have to consider it. I’m not certain I completely agree with your conclusion, however, the facts are undeniable.

Also, you’re the first person in all the years I’ve been asking to finally give me an answer. I appreciate it.

I wonder how much of a hand Tony LaRussa had in pulling the trigger on flipping Colby Rasmus for bullpen reinforcements, SP depth and a veteran outfielder: Dotel, Rzepczynski, Jackson and Patterson. Hindsight being 20/20, it almost looks/feels like Mo made sure it was the last time someone told him what to do. We’ll never know for sure.

One thing we do know is Chris Correa did 4 years in Federal Prison for hackgate. Pretty wild to think about.

That is EXACTLY what happened. TLR was the last manager empowered enough to stand against Mo and save him from himself and his own decision making. And not coincidentally, the last time Mo won an award.

I think we know for sure. You don’t hire 3 different managers with absolutely zero managerial experience and even extremely limited MLB coaching experience 3 different times and expect anyone to believe that it’s not TLR PTSD

BDW could have just bought off Correa into saying "I know nothing" regarding the involvement of others. Promised him a soft landing after prison time. I imagine most billionaires don't get where and stay where they are by being morally pure.

Hahahaha. Yes, Mozeliak aggravates the heck out of me because he drove this team off a cliff. But I admit, a lot of my posts are to get some posters fired up. Its amusing. So maybe im not normal.

LOL - I want to know also

Me too, I love conspiracy theories. Lets hear it Juan

No conspiracy theory on this. Just throwing out a hypothetical. If you all believe one underling went rogue and nobody knew or caught on, so be it. Actually, since it was Mozeliak, that putz probably didn't know.

Have we lost our virginity, I mean identity. No. One is lost forever.
