Cardinals Diaspora: Cardinals Front Office = Liars

“You’ve taken my life-so take my soul
that’s what you said-and I believed it all
Liar-Liar-Liar”

What are my options? Let DeWitt and co earn interest so they can ’spend’ the money in the right places or have them blow some cash on a big gamble like Silva or Tejada? Blow the dough. What’s it matter to me? We’ve already spent the cash- they’re the ones not. Who knows what will pan out or what won’t 2-3 years from now? Nobody does. So to think that this team will have a better chance at a player or players 36 months from now is not only absurd- it’s insulting- just like trying to force-feed me a pu pu platter of LaRue/Izturis/Kennedy/Ludwick up the middle on a team that features the best player in the world. And PS: We’re kind of overlooking the fact that we’re wasting the prime of the best Cardinal ever! It’s funny how much better a guy like Silva or Kudora can be when they play with the best in the world- just ask_____ (Hector Luna, Ronnie Belliard, Abraham Nunez, Jason Marquis, Jeff Weaver, Jeff Suppan, ect al.)

Midway through the off-season, many teams are making final tweaks to their roster. Filling in holes that the big pushes didn’t cover. Putting a team together that will be whittled down to 40 before it gets to 25. For Cardinal fans, the promises that were made 3 years ago, last year and this year have turned out to be lies. A spade is a spade and until we get some proof that DeWitt, Johnny Mo or any other person employed by the team is willing to make the changes necessary to elevate this business above mediocrity, than we shouldn’t relent. After all, it’s a business. And us, the customers, have been lied to long enough.
