They still had one of the lowest payrolls irc.
Really? I don't recall where they were ranked. I know they weren't the Yankees, Mets or Dodgers. But Sheffield, Alou, Brown and Leiter couldn't have come cheap. I seem to remember the idea behind win the World Series then have a fire sale was because their payroll was too high for their liking. At least that seemed to be the consensus at the time.

Baseball has been around a lot longer than the Super Bowl.

But that’s okay, us Dodgers fans, just like Ram fans, have a good owner now things are in the up swing!

We'll see. You know you're going to see us eventually, and I know that you're going to trade prospects to us for Arenado once you get destroyed in the W.S. by a team that actually has pitching.

Don't deny it: you already have two of our ex-players in Flaherty and Edman; what's one more for the group?

In 2003,
The Marlins were around 50 mill.
The Yankees were around 150 mill

You're, like, three behind with both Brooklyn and LA!

A whole lot of money spent, hundreds of millions more than any team, and yet you only have one championship in a shortened season to show for it in this century! You have not won a full season WS since 1988, and you likely won't win here either. You're counting on your offense to show up when it's pitching that wins championships - and you have none.

Are you shitting me right now?

The Cardinals are ancient fricking history! You only have 2 rings this century to our one. We are about to get our second.

Literally like a Cowboy fan talking about rings from the black and white broadcast and radio days! :laugh4:

“ HEY MA AND PA GATHER ROUND WE ABOUT LISTEN TO THE CARDINALS PLAY IN THE WORLD SERIES!!” :eyeroll:

Dude, we have more in this century than you do, and yours was in a shortened season that barely counts because it wasn't a full season (the Marlins - the fucking Marlins - made the playoffs, and you didn't have to play anyone tough). Your last WS ring in a full season that wasn't shortened was - gasp - not in this century! Talk about hypocrisy.

We're not history. We're simply rebuilding, like you were so long ago, for fate knows how many years.

Meanwhile, you have no pitching. You spent tens of millions of dollars on a number three pitcher at best who is currently your number two (Yamamoto). You dealt a bunch of prospects for your number three pitcher who is being starred as a number one (Flaherty). Your final starting pitcher is coming off of enough injuries to make Joseph Noteboom look like Cal fucking Ripken Jr. (Buehler). Then you have a bullpen full of the walking wounded (including Graterol, who is coming off of injury).

Glasnow's hurt. May's hurt. Ryan's hurt. Miller's hurt. Every one of your other numerous starting pitchers are hurt, and you do not have the horses to go up against Cole and Rodon or Schmidt, all of whom are better than your best at the moment. And you really think you're going to win the WS this year?

Yankees in five, and I'm feeling generous.

You mean the team that owned the Dodgers in the WS?
Was that the team managed by one of the architects of the Astros cheating scandal? A scandal not exposed till a couple years later. Makes you wonder about that 2018 season.
