Interesting - well, I wouldn't neccessarily refer to the Cards fanbase as enormous .....maybe in few parts of the midwest and around St. Louis. Take a trip to the west coast and compare the amount of Cubs hats to Cards hats....I lived there for a long time, and never met a single Cards fan - yet ran into plenty of cub fans. On a side note, I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day, who is a life-long diehard Cardinals fan. He was going on and on about he disgusted he was with the "bandwagon" cardinals fans......thought that was mighty interesting. Then, at last weeks matchup at Busch, I spent the entire game sandwiched between 2 ladies talking on their cellphones throughout the entire game. Not to hijack the trend but considering the size of st. louis their fan base is indeed enormous. I've been to cards games all over the U.S. and I've seen lots of cards fans. Anyway I like the sox and I enjoy going to their games however I agree - they need to get over the cubs. Then again I'm a cards fan and I always check the Cards score then the Cubs score pretty much no matter what the standing are. :wink:
