Cardinals fan. Also fuck John Fisher. #SellTheTeam. Other sports are boring.

Here's a little thread of some excellent videos of people punching up this week. First up, the Governor of Maine, Janet Mills, telling Trump, "I'll see you in court," to his face and on video. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Hard to argue with Passan. What a waste this winter has been. www.espn.com/mlb/insider/...

pedophile has problem with anti-pedophile song

Missourians haven’t folded this badly since Josh Hawley fled the Capitol on January 6th.

I want Passan to announce Bregman’s signing right at kickoff

Whoa. I take every criticism I’ve made about the FO this off season. The coup de grace of a brilliant winter.

The true purpose of the "DEI" culture war issue on display — it's not about hiring practices/jobs, it's a systematic erasure of civil rights history and progress, and the rights themselves are in danger. Expect to see this affect schools (more than already, anyway). www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

PECOTA standings just got released. They project the #stlcards for 78.6 wins. This would have them finish better than 10th worst, so their lockout of top 10 picks of the ‘26 MLB draft wouldn’t matter. That’s probably best case scenario for ‘25.

This recipe kicks ass. Best NYT recipe I’ve made in a while. cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025...

That Flaherty cannot get more than 2 years seems absurd to me. Teams aren’t trying. Expanded playoffs were a terrible mistake.

If the outfield is gonna be Donovan, Nootbaar, and Walker, that’s gonna be some real ugly defense.

Football is so slow and boring. I hate the NFL playoffs and the Super Bowl.

Great, now we just need for either Bregman to accept an offer he already rejected or the Astros to up their offer, the Red Sox to trade Casas, *and* the Red Sox to move their homegrown star on a long term contract from third to first, a move said homegrown star has already rejected.

I can’t believe they think they can compete this year. Mozeliak is robbing over Bloom and the #stlcards ‘s medium term outlook just to satisfy his own ego.

Well, at least it’s a pretty low bar for Walker to to exceed projections.

Here's an early look at the ZiPS x @fangraphs.com depth chart for the penultimate team in the ZiPS rundowns, the St. Louis Cardinals.

do you live in st louis/Eastern Missouri and want to positively impact local trans youth AND get cookies? I have great news:

Hmmmm. From @dgoold.bsky.social’s Monday article.

I see the paid screamers are freaking out about "there's too many voters!" & "why wasn't it unanimous?" when these are not the biggest problems with #HOF voting. Focus on the positive: Ichiro's in, first ballot. Good, he should be! CC's in, great! Billy Wagner gets his due, love to see it. 1/x

This is awesome. You need to listen to this regularly.

Tbh I am excited to see more Melania’s White House Xmas decorations that are inspired by the Saw movies.

Guessing this means Toronto is out of the Bergman bidding. We’re closer to confirming that Arenado will remain a Cardinal in ‘25.

If Chaim Bloom wants to win me over he needs to hand Winn a contract proposal for 13 years and then ask Winn when he should stop writing zeroes.

Uh, how did I miss this?

I cannot believe the #stlcards are not trading Helsley. Jfc

My only real hope for the #stlcards as a team is that they’re so far out of it by the deadline that they must sell. They were a bad team that over-performed in close games last season and all they’ve done is subtract since then.

Also I hate to be the one to say this, but Ohtani has had TJ (or similar) surgery twice now. Pitchers who have 2 TJs generally don’t recover from that. I hope to God he does because he is, probably, the best player ever. But it wouldn’t surprise me if his pitching days are over.

Absolutely love @bmiklasz.bsky.social’s story of Dave Duncan getting into early Internet forum flame wars with randos on Bernie’s old forum.

Mariners having arguably the best starting rotation in baseball and sitting on their hands with every free agent bat is way worse than Dodgers building a superteam

I don’t care who he signs with so long as it’s *not* the Cubs.
