I want a "Fried Chicken and Beer" kinda thing for the Cardinals this year
just give it to me
let me have this
Matheny is a damn fraud and Molina and Wainwright are older then dirt
John Mozeliak needs to have shit thrown his way as well.
Dyson is almost certainly going to disappear for a while after today. Four blown saves in four attempts, one of which was a grand slam and another (today) where the offense didn't have to get the ball out of the infield to win the game. It hurts, GAF. It hurts.

Baseball was a mistake.
The past two seasons seem like karmic payback for hacking the Astros.

They were only a game out of the wild card last season though! Plus they had dingers!!
This season is if you took the shitty offense of 2014-2015 and combined it with the shirt defense and pitching of 2016... there's nothing redeemable about it.

Are the Red Sox super hateable? Heh, probably.
Can't argue that they have the same level of evil juju as the Yanquis tho.
The Yankees haven't had a losing season in 25 years. Even the years when they "suck" like last year they win 84 games and are within shouting distance of the playoffs.
The Sox (albeit when they're good, they win World Series!) have been good a lot less consistently over that stretch. Hell they've won less than 80 games 3 of the last 5 seasons.
Anywho, the Yankees will sign Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, and Matt Harvey next year and balance will be restored to the rivalry!
I feed off your pain.

Their fans are bigger assholes. We were just lucky enough to have them be quiet until 2004.
Pffft.

I remember when we thought Steven Wright was going to be the ace of the staff this time last year

Back in the Community ghetto eh?
I thought it was supposed to be in main for the whole month.
three weeks per Xia
Yankees are 8-4 and are so good that they decided to give the rest of the league a fighter's chance by sitting Gary Sanchez for a month. They don't belong in the same conversation as the basement-dwelling Lakers, who might completely fuck up their foreseeable future depending on how the lottery plays out.
Yankees don't scare anyone though. There's no fear of god playing them and there hasn't been for years. I agree that they're ahead of the Lakers but that's only because they fell off the scary wagon much earlier!

This is the perfect Cards lose .gif.
Blue Jays have the worst record. I don't think either are actually the worst team by a mile.
Jays: *hold my maple syrup*

How can a man with a watch that big possibly be bad at anything?
Time for the chicken littles to start flocking. Terrible start. They can't hit and they can't steal bases to manufacture runs. Now Donaldson, Sanchez, and Happ are injured. The sky is falling.
Getting blown out by Baltimore at home on a Sunday afternoon is going to start an attendance decline. Perhaps it's too early to panic, but it's not looking good for the Jays right now.

The Mets are going to need to go with a 4-man bench (probably Conforto [unfortunately], Lagares, Flores, and R. Rivera on most days) while adding an extra reliever to the roster for basically the entire season (or at least until rosters expand in September) if they want to stand a chance given the cautious approach they are clearly taking with all of the starting pitchers.
90-100 pitch limits combined with the same all-or-nothing offense results in a lot of stressful bullpen innings/decided games.
The return of Familia will (well, we hope as he likes to walk the tightrope more and more) alleviate some of the issues regarding roles and whatnot but the extra reliever will still be detrimental.

Matheny isn't bad at anything, and he'd be the first to tell you that.
