LET’S FUCKING GO CARDINALS!

Counterpoint: Cardinals winning is never ever a great story.

Not many great stories in baseball playoffs wise. Most everyone has either been there a bunch, treats their up an comers terribly or is managed by Tony La Russa.

If the Red Sox don’t do anything, gimme Blue Jays and Braves please.

Yankees over Cardinals in four imo

The Busch Light Drinkers of America Association disagrees.

Apparently one of the few Cardinals fans here, if it wasn’t obvious that my user name is a play on their mascot. Though I pretty much gave up sports a few years ago. I haven’t watched even a single baseball game this year.

I was guessing that they are the underdogs and have the lowest payroll.

Pads would have been the best story out of anyone but even that’s a stretch.

outdrawed · October 2, 2021, 5:05pm

I’m very confused. The Cardinals aren’t even close to the lowest payroll

Yuv · October 2, 2021, 5:11pm

Rays have the lowest payroll by a lot (assuming mariners don’t make it). They are 26th in the league. Cardinals are 9th.

Fatboy8 · October 2, 2021, 5:19pm

Think the Mariners charge their players to play.

Yuv · October 2, 2021, 5:21pm

clearly they do not charge enough

FuncrusherPlus · October 2, 2021, 5:27pm

I was just guessing and not even considering AL teams.

I would absolutely root for the Mariners if they were in it.

Yuv · October 2, 2021, 5:37pm

Giants (10), Braves (12) and Brewers (19) are lower in the NL

FuncrusherPlus · October 2, 2021, 5:40pm

I stand corrected. I just remembered them letting Pujols walk.

Lawnmower_Man · October 2, 2021, 5:43pm

Cardinals are like the only truly hateable team in MLB. Maybe BoSox.

Yuv · October 2, 2021, 5:47pm

Any reason not to root for the Rays? They seem like the perfect organization

freddbird · October 2, 2021, 5:55pm

Pretty sure I am forced by law to give you a standing ovation for that take.

FuncrusherPlus · October 2, 2021, 6:00pm

I don’t traditionally root for AL teams.

Mariners would be an exception since they have zero champs.

CanadaMatt3004 · October 2, 2021, 6:01pm

Giants are the clear best story this year. Projected to finish third and maybe hit 500, won the most games in franchise history with a ragtag bunch of old timers having miraculous career years, bumping the highly favored dodgers into the wild card game?

Cmonnnnnnn

Yuv · October 2, 2021, 6:07pm

yeah giants-rays seem like a fun matchup

Lawnmower_Man · October 2, 2021, 6:10pm

Yeah you really just have to feel for the Giants and their recent lack of success in the postseason.
