This is exactly the mindset he views the St. Louis Cardinals Pro MLB baseball team. There’s really no reason to debate back or forth with him because we’re writing about completely different things. Enjoy Cranny.

Cranny is another PD plant.

Just here to aggravate posters and create traffic.

Only excuse to be this obtuse about the state of this franchise.

Being positive is being “obtuse”? LOL
Oh mercy.

Definitely a plant.

If you needed money that bad I would have floated you a loan.

Sorry, have nothing to do with the PD or Cardinals, LLC. Just try to look at both sides of the coin as a fan and be objective. That doesn’t play well with the 100% negative crowd.

Then be objective.

This franchise with its resources should not be in the position its in in this division.

Forget about your built in "big money teams " excuse.

Just the division.

If you take a close look at MLB organizations, most of them go a down few years upon occasion. We’re going through that now, as we give the kids a chance to show their spots. But I enjoy what I can.
Like today’s 6-3 lead right now. Does that give you any pleasure, 11WS?

By God you are a plant.

Actually, I’m just a long standing fan who appreciates watching and cheering for my favorite
team on a daily basis. Simple as that, 11WS.

Nah you answer far too many posts here to be just that.

The casual fan wouldn't do that.

They certainly do. They (Cranny and Tanker the Wanker) leap to the forefront when anyone dares state the truth about the front office. They earn the title front office lapdog on a daily basis.

The Cards have made their share of mistakes. I just don’t dwell on them and criticize when I didn’t have all the facts. And I don’t want to be a rear mirror expert.

That’s the thing; you get to have it both ways. Criticism ahead of time is “bashing,” criticism after the fact is “rear mirror expert.”

It’s a bit.

Sure we do

-Everyone and their brother knew Andrew Miller was done……And MO put 13mil for 3 yrs in his pocket
-Carp was going NOWHERE with one year left on deal….And MO reupps him at 30 something without waiting that next year to see if he declines
-The OF hadn’t had a legit starter in YEARS and instead of giving Randy and Adolis any chance(like the 3-5yr chances all the others got) he gives them away
-Reaching and overpaying Fowler
-Signing Contreras to 18mil per when he had a C in waiting for years behind Yadi in Herrera
-Signing a mid 30’s 5’10 170lb “ACE” to a 25mil per contract and paying him 35mil in ‘26…..
And the list could go on and on. All these moves are suspect and all had and have bright sunlight for all
