WS: Cardinals vs. Tigers

[sethuel1]

Hope they put a booster seat in that car.

I think it would be awesome if we got some youtube footage about this WS not being as special since it wasn't done in the original Busch. Complete with two douchebag Cardinals fans in tears over the idea.

[A New Era]

I'm so mad right now. If Hendry would have put a #*$*@n team together this year WE could have won it all. Instead he filled the roster with crap neifis and crab bynums and crap rusch's. .

 

Then again those some players would have been the MVPs on the cards team. #*#*@!!

The Cardinals win it all, and what do the fans do? Trol the CUbs forum at cubs.com Edited October 28, 2006 by Master Shake

Scrapstein wins the MVP and I feel myself hitting rock bottom

[sethuel1]

I feel so good right now!

 

Time to get together that lynch mob and head up to Ravenswood.

[TruffleShuffle]

I honestly don't even care at this point. Maybe it's that I just knew the Cubs and Flyers would be bad this year, but I came into each season more apathetic than any previous season than I could remember. It's like dating some girl who keeps cheating on you. At first you're too stupid and in love to walk away, but you keep getting hurt over and over, at some point you get tired of the hurt and you just start to let go.

I need to find a Cubs board where I can swear like a sailor right now.

 

It won't even let me type my favorite derogatory word for 'those scumbags in St. Louis'

[E.J.]

So the Cardinals just won the World Series with Carpenter and a scrap heap of other pitchers. Figures.

those [expletive] from St. Louis?

[TruffleShuffle]

I guess if we can take solace in anything, it's that we don't live in St. Louis. They get to be happy for a few days, a month, maybe even a year... but then that feeling wears off, and they still live in St. Louis. Actually, that cheers me up a lot!

More like Ruschbags!

UK, it must be just because you're actually in Chicago that you don't have to deal with Card fans, cuz I can tell you down here, it's about an even mix of Cards and Cubs fans...although I imagine the bandwagon fans have things tilted in the Cards direction these days.

 

Hell my in-laws are all Card fans...and I'm going to see too much of them the next couple of days.

 

Not to mention going to work on Monday.

 

I was down in Bloomington last weekend, there's a higher % of Cards fans in that bunch than Cubs fans. Towards me, they have been more than civil.

 

Well right now there is...that's for sure. And they're civil...just annoying...not that I wouldn't be exactly the same if the situation was reversed.

Sucks to be a Cubs fan in STL right now though.

That's the worst part. I don't really dislike St Louis all that much (I loathe Houston), but the fact that Scrappy McHustler won the MVP makes me sick, because not only wil we be subjected the the standard "heart wins over talent" boilerplate sportswriting/radio for the next 12 months, but there's a better than 75% chance that Hendry decides he needs to field a team that features below average corner OF's, a terrible C, a godawful middle IF, and a mediocre starting rotation anchored by a solid #1 in order to win.

I'm pretty sure this cements Ramirez being gone. We will all love the scrappy David Bell or Rich Aurillia at third next season.

well, if you're a Cubs fan who's living in St. Louis permanently, then your life just sucks. You live in a boring place masquerading as a city, and you root for a team that will never win. What's the point? Move back to Chicago or just start rooting for the Cardinals. I wouldn't hold it against you.

At least you have the excuse that all Philly teams suck going for you.

 

Kudos for toughing it out and staying a Cubs fan. Though the local alternatives are nearly as bleak.

I can't wait to see what FJM says about it

:pukel:

 

Very few things could make me quit being a Cubs fan, but if that happens, I might take a break until Hendry is fired.

I never had a choice. My dad is a huge Cubs fan but was never that big a fan of any other professional team. He raised me to root for the Cubs and let me choose the others on my own, which naturally ended up being the teams that play 20 minutes from where I grew up. The incompetence of my favorite teams may drive me to disillusionment and disinterest, but I'll never jump ship for another team. People who do that cannot be trusted in any facet of life.

 

But yeah, I like where I live now, and I love where I grew up. I'd rather be dead than live in St. Louis.
