Let me guess, reply guy. Am I “really living up to my account name?”

I wish the Cardinals would go out and sign somebody who’s 32 so I could feel really pumped about next year’s half-season and a wild card exit. C’mon, Chaim, give the people what we want! #STLCards

@The_Ryan_Shull Not quickly enough!

[Jeff Niehaus @Fly_The_L]

You can listen all at once, or do what I do and listen to 30 minutes per day so you're ready for a new one when Thursday hits. #STLCards

Bob Boone was as much an MLB fixture as anyone I can think of, from when I was first old enough to pay attention until most of my way through college. Part of one of baseball's royal families. Hate losing this generation of guys.

[Bret Boone @theboone29]

My dad- He was my mentor, my coach, my rock. He taught me how to be a pro and more importantly, how to be a man. He was one of the highest integrity people I’ve ever known and I’m going to miss him dearly. Baseball lost a great one yesterday. R.I.P dad, I love you❤️

Carter Jensen, 5th in AL ROY vote: 3.3 bWAR, 3.7 fWAR
Sal Stewart, NL ROY winner: 2.0 bWAR, 2.0 fWAR

What a weird vote, it's like the 1987 MVP electorate was put in a time machine and asked to vote for 2026 NL ROY. Benge, Wetherholt, McLean were all better. But RBIs, I guess?

Here we go again. Once again, utterly 100 percent normal.

Just two guys that definitely don’t hate each other

@peterlanee Congratulations to William Campbell on being even more talented than the original Paul McCartney.

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

When I was a kid, I once got to go see the Meadowlark Lemon/Curley Neal/Geese Ausbie Globetrotters. In like 1978 that felt like seeing the Beatles. Sad that they’re all gone now. Amazing talents.

[Dr. Curley Boo Johnson @BooCurley]

RIP to my friend and coach Hubert “Geese” Ausbie.
Here is a couple videos of his 24 seasons as one of the funniest Showmen with the Globetrotters.
Guarantee that this will make you laugh…
That was that Cat allright… 🙏🏽

My sources are telling me that the Cardinals may be interested in a reunion with Colby Rasmus. #STLCards

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@Vidor1 The original post I was reacting to was a shot at modern pitchers because they don't carry the workload Cy Young did.

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

Honestly, this is a very kind of old-fart-post that really fries me. Guys like Cy Young were making the equivalent of what a middle manager at Staples makes today. Do you think anybody involved cared about his career longevity? And that’s supposed to be the template for today?

[Bob Page @BobPagesports]

It's 1903. Sawx manager Jimmy Collins strolls slowly to the mound with Boston beating the Tigers 2-0 in the 7th inning:

"Cy, you did a great job today! But we have you at 102 pitches, so I'm taking you out now. Sorry."

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@BobPagesports And I respect the fact that they still let you use the computer!

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@OnlyCardsFans As I understand it, the raise from Boston was $600 per year. According to the CPI, he would've been making the equivalent of about $140,000 today. (There are other ways to measure it though.) He was highly paid--by ballplayer standards. Which was a much smaller fraction of income

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

Sources tell me that the Cardinals remain interested in a Police reunion, but they're not sure that Sting will ever agree to it. #STLCards

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@MikeReissWriter And one terrible 70's band! https://t.co/9CTvxE8nQ4

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

I refuse to consider any player who hasn't already played for the Cardinals. #STLCards

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@Vidor1 And obviously measuring things by extreme outliers like Cy Young and Nolan Ryan doesn’t tell you anything about the average pitcher.

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@Vidor1 They’re not the only factor by any means. But yes, not having pitchers throw 400 innings absolutely cuts down on injuries.

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@TherealReavus

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

Uncomfortable truths.

[Mike Petriello @mike_petriello]

Billy Beane still rocks. I'm 100% convinced some team is going to take the wrong lessons from Milwaukee and lose 100 games trying it.

@BatFlipPunchOut WOW

Here’s a photo of Joe Piscopo eating dinner with Ozzie Smith and Keith Hernandez (among others). Because of course. #STLCards

[Joe Piscopo @JrzyJoePiscopo]

An honor beyond words to be among the absolute greatest of Baseball. ⚾️🇺🇸#RawlingsGoldGloveAwards

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

@Scott_618 I definitely have been through it and relate.

[JBIF Stupid Town ™ @johnrabe]

How old is James Brown on CBS? He could be 50, he could be 90. He’s been there like all my life and he’s never changed. It’s remarkable.
