Agreed - I don't like smack talk from anyone -especially from fans of my favorite team, embarrassing.

Please consider giving at We Will Collective.
Hmmm, it seems we disagree on the Cubs. I've got them finishing 0-162 this season.
It's almost as if the Cards organization has gotten cocky with how they keep playing winning ball every year without doing much in free agency. It's almost like a badge of honor to them or something?
They desperately needed to add some bats in the lineup this offseason, power bats IMO. Holliday is old, and that's who they are depending on for power.
They have to have a lot of money to spend, so hopefully they will make some moves at some point to add offense.

If people stay healthy, we have plenty of power. Holliday, Grichuk, and Carpenter are all good for 20 homers easily if healthy. Carpenter has also had 40+ doubles twice in the last three years. It's certainly not as powerful as the Blue Jays or Orioles but there is some power in the Cards lineup.
I agree that the lineup lacked power last year and didn't get better in the offseason but so much of that was due to injuries. Then the Cubs gave Heyward probably the most player-friendly contract possible in the offseason and he bolted as well (it'll be interesting to see how that contract plays out for the Cubs, by the way).
The Titanic was under construction the last time your Cubs won a World Series. But congrats on the NLDS victory that led to so much more success last fall
