This is a post I made this morning on a Cardinals board. Thought I would share it here too.
It is a good thing that I don't have the Internet at home right now because when I heard this new yesterday my head almost exploded.
First I was wondering who in the Hell Royce Ring was. I had literally never heard of him before. I thought he may have been some Cuban defector that had flown under the radar. But then I seen who he was and his stats and I was livid.
I have been reading comments on this signing on MLB Trade Rumors and such and there are a lot of pissed off fans who are saying a LOT of the things that I have been preaching on here for the last few offseasons in which I am slammed pretty hard for saying by a lot of you. But apparently a lot of the fans are FINALLY coming around and getting as pissed as I have been by the way the Cardinals organization has been handling things during the last few offseasons. And it's about time. There was one dude on there who was saying short of just not showing up to the stadium what could be done to show our displeasure. And that's what needs to happen. The fans need an uproar and we need to voice our displeasure or else nothing is ever going to change. We are just going to keep signing the Royce Rings of the league adding to the totals of Dave Duncans reclaimation list. I am sick and damn tired of reclaimation projects. SICK AND TIRED OF THEM! And more than that, I am sick and tired of the sheep fans who spout off that it is a good move because it's low risk/high reward. ********! How freaking difficult is it to just go sign some good players who can help us now? OR TRADE FOR SOME? Not EVERYTHING that the Cardinals organization does is RIGHT and there are some fans who just refuse to stand up and speak against the club because they consider that being a bad fan or something. ********. If something's going on that you don't like, then speak up and say something about it. You guys have no problem bashing other fans who speak up against the club when they are being jackasses. So what's the difference in speaking up against the club? There isn't one, other than some fans have stupid sheep tendancies with the Cardinals because they are the Cardinals, they do no wrong.
We need arms. Yet we don't go out and get signifigant ones. We get Royce RIng, and an aging Trever Miller. Instead of making a REAL push for Wil Ohman or Brian Fuentes or BJ Ryan or Jake Peavy who are all available who can HELP US NOW instead of having to work with Duncan for months and then be worked into situations like you are going to have to do with Ring.
And I am sick and effing tired of Tony not having faith in any of the young arms he has. GIVE MOTTE AND PEREZ a real and honest effing chance. If they can't handle it, then go about **** a different way. But you are NEVER going to effing know if they can't handle it if you don't give them a chance right?
I am so frustrated right now, and it honestly feels good for me that I am seeing people stand up and saying the exact same things that I have been saying for years. I felt like I was the only one feeling these things against the organization for all of their bonehead moves. This has nothing to do with some blah blah blah Yankee Money blah blah blah **** that you all like to throw in my face when I speak up against the organization. I am not asking them to go out and give someone a Sabathia contract. But what I am saying is that why in the blue Hell couldn't the Cardinals beat the Angels Fuentes offer? A lot of you were bitching about a 3 year deal. Well, the Angels got a 2 year deal with a TEAM option for a 3rd. That was PERFECT for the Cardinals. Moz must be a ****** GM if he can't counter that and land Fuentes. And this offseason isn't giving me much hope for Moz. And it's making Walt seem smart for leaving. I said when Walt left that he was leaving because he was tired of having his hands tied behind his back my DeWitt in the offseasons that he'd rather go to a hopeless organization than stay around and deal with this ******** in St. Louis year after year.
Royce effing Ring. SERIOUSLY? This tool probably won't make it out of Spring Training. But then again knowing Tony, he will probably be our 4th starter right out of Spring Training.
I am very very very livid over this.
I DO bitch all of the time about wanting the Cardinals to make moves. But I want GOOD PLAYERS damn it!
