The Cardinals are going to win it all again and I'm going to vomit.


the cardinals are baseball. in evey way they are classic baseball. they have a rich history, and throughout it have done more, much more, with less.

they are the come back kids. they find ways to win games, with super subs, with reletively low payrolls every year.

whats not to like.

they are the very essense of classic baseball.

Meh.  I'm a Cubs fan so that should tell you something.  Also, their payroll isn't always that low.  It was over $110 million this year.

i did say reletively. but true their payroll is  higher than normal (nearly 20 million higher than last year.

but they are only about $10 million over the league average. and its still $100 million less than the yankees, and $25 million less than the cubs


You sure about that?  I just looked it up and the Cubs payroll was $87 million this season (a huge portion of this goes to Soriano and Zambrano who's not even on the team).  Nice try though.

Edit: And the Yankees are at $195 million so they don't have a payroll over $100 more than the Cardinals either.  You might want to check your "facts" next time. 

sorry i was looking at 2011 numbers. but Cubs still had $110 million, yankees $210. according to this site; http://www.baseballprospectus.com/compensation/index.php?cyear=2013&team=NYA&pos=
