Based on this criteria, you'd prefer that the Cardinals operate more like the Baltimore Orioles.

Cardinals operation isn't that fun anymore. 88 wins and no playoffs is boring baseball. Tanking for a super team would almost get more interesting. For some at least. 88 wins and praying for variance isn't a successful model in this near era of WC2 teams.

It's really short.
7 teams (out of a possible 30) isn't that short. And you could argue the Mets have been more successful making it 8.

And that will rise after this season.
Which 7?

The Mets have had 2 winning seasons in the last 5 years. I have no idea what your criteria is here.
Well there's 7 teams with more wins than the Cardinals and the Mets are right behind them. And the Mets have been to the WS (the argument some could make pertaining to success). That's the criteria: wins + WS appearance

Could argue Royals too and make it 9.

So you'd prefer that the Cardinals operate more like the Mets & Royals?

Which 7 teams have more wins than the Cardinals in the last 5 years?

I'm saying maybe we can stop holding up the Cardinals as this bastion of success now.

Since the Mets are the only team he listed, I did a quick search

Average wins over the last 5 years for the Mets: 80.6
Average wins over the last 5 years for the Cards: 89.4

Both made the playoffs twice. So yeah I’m really lost on the criteria if the Mets qualify.

If we’re going over the last half decade then it should be the Dodgers

You should review the context of this conversation.

We're only playing this game because you guys wanted to present the organization as an epic failure (which isn't true), not because I was presenting them as the Reds of the 70's.

You're misrepresenting me.

Royals have been to two WS and winning one. Do they count as more successful?

The list ain't so short. My only point.
