Are you shitting me right now?
The Cardinals are ancient fricking history! You only have 2 rings this century to our one. We are about to get our second.
Literally like a Cowboy fan talking about rings from the black and white broadcast and radio days!
“ HEY MA AND PA GATHER ROUND WE ABOUT LISTEN TO THE CARDINALS PLAY IN THE WORLD SERIES!!”
Dude, we have more in this century than you do, and yours was in a shortened season that barely counts because it wasn't a full season (the Marlins - the fucking Marlins - made the playoffs, and you didn't have to play anyone tough). Your
last WS ring in a full season that wasn't shortened was - gasp - not in this century! Talk about hypocrisy.
We're not history. We're simply rebuilding, like you were so long ago, for fate knows how many years.
Meanwhile, you have
no pitching. You spent tens of millions of dollars on a number three pitcher at best who is currently your number two (Yamamoto). You dealt a bunch of prospects for your number three pitcher who is being starred as a number one (Flaherty). Your final starting pitcher is coming off of enough injuries to make Joseph Noteboom look like Cal fucking Ripken Jr. (Buehler). Then you have a bullpen full of the walking wounded (including Graterol, who is coming off of injury).
Glasnow's hurt. May's hurt. Ryan's hurt. Miller's hurt. Every one of your other numerous starting pitchers are hurt, and you do not have the horses to go up against Cole and Rodon or Schmidt, all of whom are better than your best at the moment. And you really think you're going to win the WS this year?
Yankees in five, and I'm feeling generous.
