I've said it before and I'll say it again - when the Cards are out of it, I am rooting for the Cubs. No I won't be wearing any Cub gear or bandwagon jumping, just pulling for your team. The Cubs and their fans deserve it.

 

I actually meant to post this about 2 weeks ago after the Cards got swept in Arizona - they were pretty much done then.

 

Anyway - I'm sure you guys don't want or need the help, but I'm rooting for you guys to take the division and win everything you can in October.

 

Good luck guys. I'm pulling for you. If the Cubs win it, I'm coming to Chicago to party.

 

:D

Very classy. I can't say I'd have done the same if the Cardinals were fighting for the division.

 

Thank you for your good wishes. We certainly need them.

 

On a side note, It made me happy to put the dagger in the Cardinals for this year. :twisted:

Could you beat the brewers for us?

 

will try. those guys came in last year and showed no mercy during the last series of the year, taking 2 of the 4 games.

 

As other posters have mentioned, the Cards may not have a great team, but they do battle. I can't see Milwaukee sweeping. They aren't as good as the Cubs.

I can say for sure that I wouldn't have because I've rooted against them 3 years in a row!

 

But thanks a ton Faceman. Posts like this are why it's so much easier to take the Cardinals than the Brewers.

And this is why we have a love-hate relationship with the Cardinals, and just a hate-hate with Milwaukee. At least you guys have some class.

 

It's just hate-hate with the Brew cause we're in a race with them now. I don't remember too many people having a deep hatred for the Brew in years past. The Brew fans on her have all been classy. Same obviously is said for the Cards fans through the years. Except K-Town obviously

No, I've always hated Milwaukee. They've resented us ever since they joined the NLC pretty much because we turn *their* stadium into Wrigley North. They think we're rich, preppy fans or something when in reality we're probably the most varied fan group by both age and vocation.

 

The Cardinals are just different than Milwaukee. They've been here before, they've fought with us before, and we've developed a grudging respect for each other. Us and Milwaukee? Well, we're just not there yet.

 

Also, Hart and Braun are doing all they can to replace Rolen and Edmonds as most annoying players in the NLC.

I'd be content if the Cards took one of three from the Brewers - just don't get swept. Anything else is gravy.

I hate them all. But at least Cards fans are somewhat gracious in defeat, which is more than I can say for some fans.

I love to hate the Cardinals, its a different kind of hate. I respect them.

 

I place the Brewers with the White Sox. I give them no respect, and want to obliterate them at every opportunity. Usually there are specific players I extremely dislike (Carlos Lee when he was a Sox, Corey Hart, Ryan Braun). It's personal. They also have a 2nd city atmosphere going on in Milwaukee similar to the White Sox. Next year they'll develop the mindset where us losing matters more than them losing. Sick minds, I tell you.

well, at least us losing actually matters to the brewers - in terms of playoff implications. When we lose to any team other than the White Sox, it does nothing for the white sox.

Props to the Cards fans for giving Biggio a big standing ovation. I was at the Bears game and missed the Cards/Astros on ESPN, but apparently they applauded him all weekend and gave a close to 30 second standing O when he came to bat in the 8th.

 

Way to go. :?

I prefer to save my vitriol for the actual St. Louis Cardinals rather than the fans. They have obnoxious idiots just like every other team, but in my experience they tend to have classy contingent.

 

I'll especially never forget the little old lady I sat next to a few years ago in St. Louis it a Cubs/Cards game. Probably the first time I didn't yell obscenities at a baseball game in 10 years. She was awesome, though she did keep going on and on about how JD Drew wasn't playing because of a hangnail or a splinter. She couldn't get enough of that. I, however, did after like the 8th time. But she never said anything disparaging about my Cubs jersey. We had a gay old time.

Congrats to all you Cubbie fans out there! You guys deserve this!! Unless the Rockies make the playoffs, I will be rooting for you (Helton is my favorite player....thus rooting for the Rocks). At least if you play NY or Philly...beat them...I actually do dispise those teams! LOL

 

Good Luck and Congrats again!

Long time no see....

 

Thanks Chief!

Congrats to all the Cubs fanatics here. It's a good group of knowledgeable baseball fans who just happen to root for the Cubs. I can't say I'll be rooting for the Cubs (like that matters), but I can guarantee I won't take any cheap shots or make any sour grape remarks regardless of how they do. That's something, isn't it? Enjoy the postseason, Cubs fans!
