i only watched four cubs games last year and they looked completely awful.  couldn't believe it when you guys told me they're actually good.  baseball is so weird

yeah, same.  don't (didn't) pass the eye test.

if we discard the idea that heyward just hates st louis and washington, it looks like heyward valued his options at over 16 million.

I'm not getting my hopes up this happens, but I would love to see their meltdown if the next thing to happen was Alex re-signs in KC then it comes out that he was offered a higher contract by StL.

actually the front-loaded/back-loadedness of the different contracts would also dramatically change their values, so we probably can't make any assumptions on the value of the opt outs (for that matter, the stl and wash contracts may have had opt outs as well).

gordon doesn't really make much sense for st louis.  i'd be kinda surprised if he ended up there.  i guess they could always trade one of their young outfielders and get something more useful to them.  but why not just go out and sign what they actually need instead of shuffling everyone around?

This one is my favorite, mostly because of the @juggalon9ne handle.

Deep down you know it's true.  Two Missouri teams with essentially the same set of fans.

there are similarities sure. but there's a pretty unique culture to the cards fan base unlike almost any in sports. royals fans are more culturally like twins fans or rangers fans or reds fans or something like that than cards fans

They now share the same unique blend of sanctimoniousness and persecution complex.

I'd agree that many of the band wagoners share those traits, but most of the diehards remember the previous 20 years too well.

is there a single fanbase in the world that wouldn't be upset at a commentator for calling their championship lucky?

Yeah, plenty of them. I would guess one that hadn't won in a generation would be among that group.

Correct me if I'm wrong but did he say the Royals were lucky or that the Mets were better and blew it. I never saw a quote or tweet that called the Royals lucky.

i don't really care to debate it, but i think you're wrong.  the only reason some other fan base wouldn't give him twitter hate is he's not as well known as he is in this area. 

as far as his tweet, i don't remember what the wording was, but either way it was an incorrect statement.
