Cardinals Afternoon 9/8

26 comments

1. Almost had em

2. I would love to see Mikolas somehow left out of the starting rotation for next year. But they’re paying him so that probably will not happen.

3. Brutal. Mikolas is the gift that keeps on giving.

4. We gave up ten runs to the worst offense in baseball.

   Miles Mikolas is the offering the baseball gods make to downtrodden bats.

5. it’s wild that anyone would question why attendance has dipped. i went to the game today and we were completely out of it _ten fucking minutes_ into the contest. i paid a fair amount to watch a disinterested team give up 10 runs _to the goddamn fucking Mariners._

   expecting fans to pay more than ever to come watch this lifeless Jekyll-and-Hyde shitshow is a tall order. ownership’s continued tone-deaf, undeservedly-smug attitude is just more fuel on the fire.

   if you think ‘back to school’ or ‘gee, its hot in August’ are legit reasons attendance has dropped this season, you have your head so far up your ass i assume you can see Russia.

6. I just fell to my knees at IMO’s

7. 🙁

8. As a Cardinals/Hawkeyes/Bengals fan, this has been a rough weekend 🙃

9. Man, I sure am glad Mo is staying another year to make sure a plan is in place. His plans are so…. Mo

10. I hate everything.

11. Inching closer to that inevitable elimination status…

    Patience is about to run out this season

12. mikolas is really, really, REALLY straining my confidence in FIP and xERA as stats of any worth

13. Play Scott skip mikolas

14. I must confess that I didn’t catch today’s game.

    My school’s men’s soccer team played their first regulation game today.

    We have players from Germany, Brazil, Ghana, Jamaica and the US. Last spring semester, they hung out in the library and I got know them; good guys all, and serious students. Their spring scrimmages went very well, and in 3 exhibition games this semester they won two and tied one.

    We won 1-0 and I haven’t been that excited at a sporting event in many years. Made quite a spectacle of myself. IDGAF either, so there!

    Go Blue Tigers!

15. Mikolas will be off this team by the Fourth of July next year. He’s cooked but has the contract.

16. it sucks to suck 🙁

17. I’ll take the blame for this one.

18. So, where are we thinking the record ends up this year? My guess at the beginning of the season was 81, but now I’m thinking it might be lower 

19. Glad JWalk got something done today 

20. Recorded the game to watch later. Just started watching. And I’m thinking, come on Mikolas, give us 5 good innings. First guy on. Immediately scores. I think, I’m not watching this. I fast forward and now it’s 5-0 before we take an at bat.

    Now I triple fast forward seeing if there will be any life. Got to the end and it was 10-4. I had no interest in seeing how the Cardinals scored.

    Watched the whole game in less than 5 minutes thanks to Mikolas.

21. “I’m not going to tell all the people doubting us to eat shit. I’d like to, but in the off chance I’m wrong, I look like an idiot. But in the chance they’re wrong and I’m right, that’d be pretty neat.” Miles Mikolas, Opening Day starter, is ready for 2024.

22. Miles mikolas is a baseball terrorist

23. Who else saw MM botching the start? Oh, everyone? Oh right..everyone did.

24. I’m happy football is back so I wasn’t tempted to watch Miles vomit all over his own dick……..yet again. Dude sucks so much. Fucking pissed we’re stuck with another season of this washed bum hurling meatballs. Just disgusting.

25. Michael Wacha is 12-7 for the Royals. WHIP 1.19.

26. This organization would gain my respect and I would believe that they were turning the corner if they ate Mikolas’ contract and DFAd him. They’ll never do that, but just saying, that’s what it would take.
