Nah, just noticed his whiny act on the airwaves again with the Larussa signing.
Now that its over the lapdog can climb back on Dewitt's lap until needed later -
Dewitt - "Hey Lamping ol' Boy, we found some more urinals from Old Busch to sell"
Lampdog panting "Oh yeah, I better get back on the air at KTRS to make the announcement"
How would anyone else they hire be any different? Or maybe we could program robots that only think of the fans.
I don't get it. I guess he should either do his job, grimacing and moaning all the while or he should willfully disobey his employers with a smile on his face.
Lamping-frontman in attempt to extort money by threatening to move the team from St. Louis. Lamping-shut down the vast free KMOX transmission of Cardinal baseball.
These are direct affronts against the main factors that created the great Cardinal tradition a)St. Louis is a baseball town and b)legions of fans across the midwest that listened to Cardinals on the radio and made their pilgrimages with their families.
About the only comparable sports franchise to the Cardinals are the GB Packers.
Except the Packers are publicly owned - unlike the Cardinals who are privately owned and choses to exploit and profit from the same public community that created the Cardinal tradition every chance they get.
Oh Lamping will sell you a pisser or a brick to make you feel like you own the team. But you don't.
I'm not too naive to realize that sports franchises are a business. Just look what Card owners did in Texas - went to the public trough for a new stadium and then turned around and sold team for a huge profit. And include their crony GWB in the act -gets GWB out of hock for failed oil ventures and propel him to guvner of Teexas and so on and so forth as Mike Shannon likes to say. Didn't a few of the Card owners get appointed ambassadors to Switzerland or Belgium?
Thats business - Anything fricken goes, and if your going to do business, you need your lapdog. As long as this is a free nation, I reserve the right to call them out. God Bless America.

When the Cards were on the market, maybe you should have invested YOUR money, and show us all how the fans should be treated.
It's easy to tell other people how they should conduct their business when it's THEIR money on the line.
You guys act like its pure capitalism for the owners. Sure these guys have their own money in the team....But also have the country club deal from AB. 35 year -interest free loan (free money) from the county. State money for the village. How's that fat cat saying go - socialized risk, privatized profits.
I guess I shouldn't hold grudges against when they threatened to move the team. But this is the rant page.
In a perfect world, Cardinals would be owned by public. Like the Packers. $10,000 per share x 50,000 owners. Thats half a billion. Maybe we'd even let the weasel Lamping be an usher.

They threatened to move the team to East St. Louis. Not exactly far away, and then you could worry about Illinois taxpayers getting the shaft instead of Missouri taxpayers.
You really think there's 50,000 fans willing to pay $10k each? I'm a huge Cardinal fan, but I wouldn't exactly be shelling out that kind of dough to own 1/50,000th of the team.
