No, no, not the football Cards, who once again are the Deadbirds of the Desert. (Even a runner like The Edge has to have an O-line, and Warner obviously needs to step down or be set aside.)
No, I’m talking about the REAL Cards — El Birdos in St. Louis.
Backing into the playoffs like they did. With LaRussa’s inane gamble of not pitching Carpenter Sunday.
I think it’s time — as do most fans — for ownership to take at least a small dip into the luxury box moneys from the new Busch and do something in the offseason free agent market.
For that matter, to critique this year, and not just the previous offseason, why didn’t they try to do a sign-and-trade w/the Phillies to get Abreu? They could have then put Edmonds in right to ease things on him, and you could have had Abreu cheating to left all the time for a great defensive outfield.
Meanwhile, they’ll likely not only lose, but get swept in, the divisional round of the playoffs.
And, speaking of that, while LaRussa’s a great regular-season manager, it might be time for him to go. I think he gets over-wound, over-intense, in the playoffs, and the players pick up on it.
