It’s an extreme example. But it’s still an example that anything can happen once you’re in. Right, dawg?sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025 08:10 amOne. An 83 win team has won one WS.

“Through 65 home games, the Cardinals have generated a total attendance of 1,873,875, based on the metric of tickets sold. Right now, that’s an average attendance of around 28,829. If that pace remains similar through the regular season’s end, the Cardinals are on pace for a season attendance of roughly 2,335,137.”
He also explained how this year’s trend would represent a historic low point for the franchise.
“That would mark the team’s lowest for a non-pandemic-restricted season since 1995, when the Cardinals drew a season attendance of 1,756,727. That season? The Cardinals only played 72 home games due to MLB scheduling arrangements out of a players’ strike and would have paced for around 1,976,318 in attendance.”
There seems to be a lot of focus on dwindling attendance….
For those who desire a new direction for the club it’s the best news they can receive..
These owners have been asleep at the wheel for years
Not to pry, but how many other bad products do you buy?
You are correct sir. It is an extreme example, as you noted, and it is also proof that anything can happen once in.Cranny wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025 08:34 amIt’s an extreme example.

He’s not delusional. He doesn’t believe this team actually has a playoff chance. It’s just performance art and a lack of willingness to admit this team is a failed roster.imetsatchelpaige wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025 10:36 am Cranny-
Statistically we alive for a playoff berth.
In 2006, we had players with names like Pujols, Molina, Wainwright and Carpenter.
In 2025, we have…..nothing close to any of them. Nada.

True. Makes you wonder why they only won 83 games that season, doesn’t it?imetsatchelpaige wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025 10:36 am Cranny-

Yes, raising ticket prices with declining attendance for a mediocre team while cutting payroll is not out of touch?
A 10-15% bump for some season ticket holders. They’ll play to crowds of 10,000 next year and deserve every minute of it.Colotiger wrote: ↑24 Aug 2025 12:48 pmYes, raising ticket prices with declining attendance for a mediocre team while cutting payroll is not out of touch?

He isn’t dumb.
Just disingenuous- that’s my read after digesting his responses (or lack thereof) to my direct questions.
Sad!

You know good & well the star players who were injured that season.
That was a 95-100 win team if they're healthy.

Not "What are some methods others have utilized to express themselves on the subject?"...which is all you offered up.
