Bill Murray is a true American hero.Bill Murray on Cardinals fans:
Murray, wearing a floppy hat and a blue and gold paisley shirt that was perpetually untucked, began bantering with the masses before he took his first swing.
He asked if any fans saw his beloved Cubs sweep St. Louis in a double-header Tuesday. One woman behind the ropes said she was a Cardinals fan.
"Satan's messengers on Earth," was the way Murray described the Cardinals.
"And then it turns out your team is cheaters, too,'' he added.
[...]
A few steps away, a boy with a Cardinals hat asked for an autograph. Murray signed, then noticed the red cap. "Are you a Cardinals fan? Get out of here. Rotten kid."
Shit. You hit a note there. World is fucked.Because the writers do such a bang up job with the hall of fame right?
I'd avoid Hamels like the plague. Amaro is a maniac that will want your entire farm system and Hamels has awful career numbers vs the AL (8-15 4.73ERA in 190IP).I'd rather have Hamels. The Astros are in an excellent buying position for him as he has a very large contract,with a few more years left on it, so he wont be just a rental. That works in the Astros favor as the more salary that they take on, and not get compensated from the Phillies for taking on that salary, the lesser grade of prospects that they will have to give up in return.
As of right now,Tony Kempis a perfect candidate in trade bait for the Philly to bite on. Tie him together with another B to C grade chips and I think the Astros will get themselves a deal.
Cubs fans are so cute, they win a couple games against the Cards and they act like they've won the World Series. They obviously have short memories (you need one to be a Cubs fan) or they'd remember that the Cubs have lost 6 of 7 in STL this year. I wonder how he felt when Peralta hit that 9th inning homer to sink the Cubs later that day. Must have been the secret infoz they obtained by hacking the Astros.....yeah, that's the ticket!Bill Murray on Cardinals fans:

You're a horrible person.Cubs fans are so cute, they win a couple games against the Cards and they act like they've won the World Series.

I'd bet almost anything the Royals won't go get a big front-line ace. Dayton Moore seems to want to emulate those Brave teams of the 90s that he worked for, with sustained success over many years rather than 1 big push at a title in any 1 year. Hopefully it pays off when it's all said and done. I'm not sure I'll be happy with multiple more playoff appearances in the next 5-6 years if we don't get back to the World Series at all.Greinke is fucking ridiculous right now.
But with regards to the trade deadline, I hope the royals don't go for Cueto. Not worth the two top prospects he would likely require for 3 months, since they have zero chance of resigning him. I mean we do need a real ace in order to better our odds in October, but I would rather see us in the playoffs for the next several years than a better shot at the WS this year.
As a fan of the team who has won 3 world series' in the past 5 years and prior to that was constantly having 2-3 year runs at the playoffs, crapping out, then a shitty 1-2 year layoff? The WS wins >>>>>>>>>>>>>> playoffs. You sound like a fan of a team trying to convince yourself that playoffs =! successful.I would rather have 4-5 playoff years than 1 WS win and no other playoff years to be honest. I really like the suspense of the race for the playoff spots.
Being in contention all the time is good. It's like the difference between the late 80s and 90s Braves and the Marlins who won and had a firesale a couple of times. Braves were legit contenders for a decade. Of course it's just better to be a Yankees fan and win about 1 out every 4 World Series.I would rather have 4-5 playoff years than 1 WS win and no other playoff years to be honest.

Yep, this. Obviously I would want them to win, but if I had to choose between 1 WS year and 5 years contending for the WS I would pick the latter.Being in contention all the time is good.
