I don't know if I could be friends with a Cardinal fan. It might be a litmus test for me. He'd have to have a great personality. Personality goes a long way. He'd have to be one charming mother [expletive] Cardinal's fan. I mean he'd have to be 10 times more charming Jon Hamm. Living in the middle of the state, it's tough...it's a really even split of Cubs/Cards fans. My in-laws are Cardinal fans too. Not a big problem with the Father and Mother in law, but my brother in law...he gets mouthy. I'm only friends with one (mostly coincidence, I haven't run into many). and he's pretty good-humored and, thankfully, can actually trade barbs with me and other Cubs friends of mine without resorting to 1908 garbage.
