[markedman5]

Matheny going to be fired?

[sarcasm]The franchise is folding.[/sarcasm]

[patrickgpe]

more likely John Mozeliak fired, i would think.

[AKCheesehead]

Announcing an amendment to the baseball rule book?

[monty57]

They're going to say the Astros hacked their system, and that's why they're doing so well.

[markedman5]

Matheny didn't get canned. They made some other changes.....including dfa Peralta.

I guess Peralta needed those PEDs, instead of playing the classy way.

[jerichoholicninja]

So DFA'ing a washed up, borderline nobody player who's only real claim to fame is PED's is press conference worthy?

Given how often the Cardinals take somebody else's castoff and turn them into near all stars this probably seems newsworthy to them.

[82brewcrew82]

Did they run out of special Cardinals sprinkle dust?

[Outlander]

All I saw initially was UPDATE:Peralta DFA, figured Wily was gone.

[AKCheesehead]

Good chance that's the end of the line for Jhonny.

JP has been a fat turd of indifference since he got here from god knows where. He, along with the PED free Matt Holliday were dead weight on a meat hook and needed to be released.

 

As far as GM Mo' being next on the chopping block, it would fulfill the dream of many Card fans. Even better would be owner DeWitt selling the team.

 

Fans old enough to remember the 80's are dying to see Jose Oquendo or Ozzie Smith replace Matheny.

But that isn't EVER gonna happen as long as the current regime survives.

So one of the most consistently winning teams in baseball year after year, and their best fans in baseball think the GM and owner should go? In spite two WS titles in the last 10ish years and I think have missed the playoffs once in the last 8 or so years.

To be fair, Packer fans aren't much better in terms of complaining about their consistently successful team. I guess everyone always wants more.

Any Cardinals fan that complains about their ownership and management can eat it.

Yep. I still think McCarthy is a bad coach who should be replaced. He is the reason that Aaron is only going to make it to 1 super bowl in his career most likely. Just because your team is good doesn't mean everyone running it is perfect.

Well I hope they fire their GM and he comes here as some kind of senior adviser to Stearns. Cardinals should basically be the model we're trying to replicate.

You would have watch the day to day mismanagement to get a real grip on the St. Louis situation. A casual glance at Baseball Tonight tells one nothing. Peter Gammons and his ilk can't really know what's going on with a team by viewing highlights and showing home runs and super catches.

 

The so called "Cardinal Way" is a sham based on Jeff Ludow's running of the minor league program that started going to hell on the day he left for the Astros a few years back. He set the table for Matheny and Mozelic and whomever the current minor league directer of operations is....and they blow....big time.

[sarcasm]Equating Packer fans to Cardinal Fans is a ban-able offense...[/sarcasm]

Fans of successful franchises can be a spoiled lot. There are some Packers fans who want McCarthy and Thompson canned too.
