***Official 2014 STL Cardinals thread part II***
 

Original thread was getting to large for the board

2011 WS Championship
2012 one win from another WS
2013 two wins from another WS title
2014 Central Division title and NLCS series win (so far)

This is a franchise that has made the postseason 10 times in the last 14 seasons.

Only 1 losing season since 2000.

Reached the World Series 4 times since 2004 and won as many championships (two) the past eight seasons as it did from 1965 to 2005.

Our new Manager has more post season experience than any other manager in baseball, except the Giants manager.

Made the NLCS 8 times

Three million attendance? Take it to the bank.

60 post season wins since 2004. 20+ wins more than any other team.

First.

?? Most threads go over 5k posts before slowing down. The old thread wasn't even halfway there.

If we trade for Price while having the second worst offense in baseball I might blow my ****ing brains out.

AC says its 3K now. Just being pro-active. We wouldn't have made to 5K in the orginal one anyway.

Yeah, I started killing any slow thread until I found it was likely the Royals thread's fault.

Plus, it was a Cardinals thread... so I mean, who gives a shit anyway? :D

Yup. Better safe than sorry on thread size at this point with the season almost on us.

BRC knows what's up, that's why he's Varsity dammit!

It was the Tampa Bay Rays beat writer that tweeted the Cardinals are still interested but he did specifically state the info came from non Rays personnel.

Put me in coach!!!

Your just not varsity material.:p

You guys want to continue on with the original thread or move on to this one?

The old one can serve as a Viking funeral for Torty Craig. Burn it and mourn from a distance.

Doesnt matter to me.

Reading the article about the trade on the Post's websight makes me think its possible Matheny wont be around much longer at the current pace.

Sounds like he had no input on the trade and sounds like Mo traded Craig because Matheny kept playing him over Oscar.

It also sounds like Matheny sounds betrayed a bit.

No worries, its Detroit.

The Tigers have agreed to acquire David Price from the Rays, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. The deal is a three-way trade between the Tigers, Rays, and Mariners.

Austin Jackson and Drew Smyly will go to the Mariners, with Nick Franklin heading to Tampa.

Jesus Christ, that's a ****ing hijacking. The Rays let him go for nothing. Franklin has looked like shit his entire big league career.
