Man I remember when the Cardinals had a legit playoff/WS shot most years. We eroded so quickly.
I was there for the ‘70s, the transition decade between El Birdos and Whiteyball. But this is different as it entails the rebuilding all aspects of the organization from the top down (“top” meaning “ownership”). While optimistic about Bloom taking care of fixing the baseball side of things, I have a high degree of concern with ownership. Are we going into a downward spiral of limited budget Impacting payroll, the resulting mediocre play impacting attendance which results in lower revenue which means reduced budget yada yada yada before new ownership arrives.
I would love to see another golden era of Cardinals baseball but feels like it’s going to take more time to fix things than I have left.
100% Rad. I'm convinced we aren't going to get an actual commitment to trying for a WS win again until we get new ownership. This group is only interested in balancing its assets and liabilities to guarantee an x% rate or return, like it was the local power company.
