I am not rooting for the cardinals.

[Cynosure]

Holy....

 

The cards are only 5 games out now? Not good... thank god they got swept by the Nats.

[CubsBears29]

I am not rooting for the cardinals.

 

You know what, since I am still of the firm belief that our only real postseason chance is winning the Central, I am gonna root against the Cardinals too.

 

But I'm gonna leave the generality of rooting against the Dodgers (for WC sake) the same.

[Cynosure]

The T.ardinals are not going to win the central anyways, I'd root for the T.ards this series too. Edited August 10, 2007 by Cynosure

There's no point in worrying about the Dodgers. They're getting ready to drop in the standings big time.

Looking to set a new record for juvenile Cardinal names today?

I'm definitely rooting against the Cardinals. Come on Penny!

Sorry, calling StL by their true nickname would show them respect... something I have a VERY HARD time of doing when it comes to that organization.

How dare they mock a rival team!

Yes, it's a completely necessary evil to come up with stupid nicknames and to circumvent the language filter to do so.

 

I dislike the Cardinals as much as anyone, but stupid names are just completely childish and unnecessary.

I guess I am just an immature fan who enjoys occasionally mocking other teams then. Along with probably the rest of sportsfandom.

[Cynosure]

Sorry, I was told to find another term of non-endearment for the Cardinals... so my new one is: Turdinals.

 

Is this better for you Laura?

[Laura]

Thanks so much for your prompt response, Cynosure.

[Cynosure]

Thanks so much for your prompt response, Cynosure.

 

But of course... I'll be out of your hair for the next 6 hours though! Helsinki night life ahoy!

[Laura]

I'm sure you'll be missed, Ryan.

[TruffleShuffle]

i for one would prefer that we not refer to them as the "t.ards"
