1. Did you enjoy this video? If so, what team would you want me to talk about next for something similar?

2. you love to see it

3. As a Cardinals fan once Molina retired it just fell apart… Our front office doesn't want to be more aggressive in the off season. We sign questionable managers, i have seen former players from the Cardinals dominate with other teams in the majors… we're the most respected team in the majors and our fans.. this doesn't seem right for the Lou. Going to Busch Stadium in October is one electrifying atmospheres in the majors. GEAUX Cardinals

4. Great video. As a cardinals fan I haven’t been able to watch it for 2 weeks since I saw it came out because it was going to hurt too much. Life’s been rough especially when you think the average St. Louis kid with mlb the show experience could run the team better than the people actually in charge..

5. I miss my team man

6. Ya I'm disliking this video it just pissed me off😤

7. As a Phillies fan I'll always be bitter about 2011. The Cardinals had absolutely no business winning that series.

8. When you get right down to it, it's terrible ownership. The DeWitts need to sell the team for the Cardinals to ever prosper again. They are feckless & only concerned with how much money they can strain from our fanbase. You have to remember that their grandfather once tried to give Frank Robinson a pay cut after his triple crown season!

9. Chaim Bloom will bring it all back I believe

10. As a Cardinals fan, I don't trust the DeWitts. Things will change when the DeWitts sell the team

11. La russa was the MLB's Belicheck

12. As a Cardinals fan outside of 2011 the devil magic as really hurt the future our organization. The management team has put together teams that were just good enough to contend or make the playoffs to fill up the ballpark put never really tried to spend the money on a team that is built to go far. Their idea is to pay just enough to be kind of good and that devil magic will do the rest of the work.

13. It also doesn't help that ownership doesn't want to spend money on the team and is also trying to get taxpayers to pay for stadium improvements also…

14. One name, Mozeliak, he’s a fool, he’s spent a hundred billion dollars on scrubs, Jocketty left him a championship franchise, and he ruined it, simple as that, my hatred for him started around the Lohse signing, giving an average SP 12$ million a year (around 22$ mil now) per year, and then he just kept doing it. Leake, Fowler, the lists goes on and on of average baseball players he paid wayyyyyy too much money for, a AAA player could toss 150 innings with a 4.50 era, you don’t need to spend millions for that, but alas he does it everytime!

15. Firing Shildt left a bad taste in a lot of fans mouth. Nothing will change until Mo is gone

16. As a Braves fan in those 2010 eras ur was rough

17. Hopefully Bloom can save us starting next year

18. Coming from stl we don't spend money on good players and we don't keep prospects long enough to see them become good and never and I mean never get good pitching

19. Classic Dewitt family, ruined our team.

20. Fucking David Freise that shook me to the core didn’t recover until 2 years ago and still not completely over it and that really was a good series

21. Why did I watch this? I knew it was going to hurt, but still

22. This past season was the first year since 2011 that I didn't go to a game in STL. I still love my team and I've gotten spoiled over the years but it is beyond frustrating seeing how lot of this nonsense could have been avoided. Yadi retiring was inevitable but firing Mike Shildt will NEVER make sense. I don't know a single cards fan that has an ounce of faith in Oli. This season I'm more optimistic seeing that Jon Jay and David Freese are both being brought back into the fold as coaches. Fingers crossed mozeliak wakes up, fires Marmol, and promotes Daniel Descalso to manager before he goes somewhere else.

23. so glad they are keeping Marmol

    such a bad manager. Go Cubs Go

24. Cardinals used to have a great farm system and bring up talent and they got rid of that I can't remember the last time somebody could come through their farm system Plus they sold off the Arkansas travelers to Anaheim. They should have hired that Memphis coach who was winning all them championships and brought him up

25. Notice when u talked about 2025, u left out the Cubs (I know I get it ur Cards guy)…but the Reds? C'mon they almost never put it together, as of late. The Cubs do have players that can play, & in this division their chances are as good as any1's. JS

26. puts on helmet Getting ready to struggle for the next like 10 years…

27. I would say it started in 2004 him Edmonds walk off home run or at least 06 lowest win World Series winner

28. 2011 was a legendary World Series lol

29. Not spending money.

30. Big Money players just dont like STL that much.

31. Bro I'm a new subscriber and a big fan of your videos so far but I need you to clean up that "all of the sudden" shit. It's A sudden. There's also an epidemic of baseball YouTubers that say "laxadaisical" instead of lackadaisical and it makes my head explode every time. Clean it up homie.

    This is like 75% a joke 🤣🤣🤣

32. Im 24 and a lifetime Cardinals fan, they have been good MY ENTIRE LIFE, these last few years (after Albert and Yadi) have made me fall out of love with baseball as a whole.

33. Cardinals fan here 👋🏽. Da devil magic 👹 will show;; trust.
