Cardinals Curmudgeon

@StavaonSTL @RockMNation They always lose

SBN Reacts on @RockMNation: What is Your Prediction for #Mizzou vs Miami (FL) in the First Round? rockmnation.com/missouri-tiger…

@BKSportsTalk Well he usually loses to top 25 teams so there’s that 🤷‍♂️

I'm pretty surprised to see Eli Drinkwitz miss out on the top 25 coaches in CFB. nytimes.com/athletic/71027…

@Ferrario101ESPN Ok thanks mate!!!

@CardsCurmudgeon That’s awesome! Thanks so much for listening! I’d say post up early where blues will warmup. And have her make a creative sign. Hopefully it works!

@Ferrario101ESPN Alex listen to yalls show everyday. The best!!! From stl but living in Carolinas. Taking my daughter to Raleigh on Thursday. Any tip for her best chance to score a Snuggy autograph for her 16th bday?

@jprutherford JR you’re the best!!! From stl but living in Carolinas. Taking my daughter to Raleigh on Thursday. Any tip for her best chance to score a Snuggy autograph for her 16th bday?

@jprutherford @MrPlaztastic17 @IconicMidW @JohnDenton555 @katiejwoo Thanks for the update JR. You’re the best!

I just wanted to address this personally: we are in the process of replacing Katie as our Cardinals beatwriter. I’m told there will be a hire, but it’s a process. Furthermore, I recently signed a three-year contract extension and was told that Blues coverage remains a high priority. I appreciate your interest in @TheAthletic, as I always remind you, and will continue to bring you the best coverage possible! Thanks!

I sounded off on MLB and The Athletic not yet (or never) finding replacements for @JohnDenton555 and @katiejwoo I warned about not filling these jobs and how the lack of reporters in the room is a loss for everyone. National media can't pick up that slack #STLCards

@O_T_Lee @b_miklasz gets off on raging against fans lol

I haven’t seen anyone nitpick the return, this seems like it would be localized on Facebook and Sports Open Line

@RedbirdFarmhand @RoycroftRumble @grok who is he talking about lol

@RoycroftRumble A certain Cardinals minor league player not doing smart things and maybe losing his baseball career over it

Some people just aren’t smart, and I feel awful for the people who are taken advantage because of that.

@kyler416 Gosh that’s really sobering lol

These are 12 of the top 89 picks in the 2011 draft. All by the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays. These are the names that Mr Bloom was referencing in his post-trade presser on whatever day that was. Pretty well perfectly sums up the draft. I have faith in the scouting department, though

@joshjaco98 @therealgufeball For sure. Half my frustration was with how Mo would just patronize the fan base.

Listening to Chaim Bloom’s presser on the Brendan Donovan trade, I have to point out again how refreshing it is to hear him address questions with specificity and clarity. They are doing a great job of trying to peel back the curtain in an appropriate way

@katiejwoo Please some type of podcast or YouTube again🙏

This will not necessarily change the Cardinals’ order of operations, but they are open to shopping Contreras. The top priority (again) remains trading Arenado and one of the lefty-hitters, with Nootbaar — along with Donovan — continuing to gauge interest from rival clubs.

“This is exactly the kind of trade the Red Sox should make in their position, and this is exactly the kind of trade the #STLCards should make in their position.” Bernie and Randy share their initial thoughts on the Sonny Gray trade ⭐️ Become an Insider to watch their full conversation now: stlsportscentral.com/page/insiders

@STLSprtsCntrl Imagine paying on top of all the other ads to read an article from Bernie at this stage. Especially since it will all get regurgitated in all of his YouTube hits lol.

In his analysis of the #STLCards' Sonny Gray trade, Bernie says, "This aggressiveness is overdue." What are your thoughts on the full deal? Read Bernie's full Redbird Review: stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/25/ber…

@BKSportsTalk You literally can’t be objective with your alma mater can you lol

Missouri’s last 3 seasons: 11-2 10-3 7-4 (2 games left to play) If 8-4 is your low point, you’re in a pretty good spot.

@BKSportsTalk @altontelegraph Sure thing. Now that a game has zero consequence for us - sad but true.

Beating Oklahoma has all the makings of a signature win for the Eli Drinkwitz era. But would it (should it?) qualify as such with #Mizzou all but eliminated from the College Football Playoff? You bet your ass it should. My column for @altontelegraph: thetelegraph.com/sports/article…

@BKSportsTalk So excited for the Taco Bell bowl again this year

Honestly not sure you could ask for anything more from #Mizzou in the first half.

@Peoples_Pundit @barnes_law @grok what is this in reference to?

Fuck it, @barnes_law. Maybe I will. Dude is cooked.

@The_Kyle_Mann @conservmillen What's this all about @grok

I urge you all to reject the rhetoric coming from @conservmillen. She speaks with clarity, nuance, grace, and honesty, and there's just no place on the internet for that kind of nonsense.

@BKSportsTalk man I think y'all have the best show in STL but you're such a homer with that take and have some serious miz blinders on. Literally the most loser take from a head coach that I've ever heard 🤣

I don’t know how anyone could disagree with what Drink says here.

@BKSportsTalk @101espn Has he had one win against a team that has finished the season in the top 12 rankings?

I can't believe I have to defend Eli Drinkwitz's resume, but here we are. It feels like a few too many people are diminishing what #Mizzou accomplished in 2023 in order to prop up an argument for why this year fell flat. @101espn
