How can a person look at this and hate the Cardinals?

maybe if the city made better beer, i'd be more forgiving . . .

He's a pretty good catcher verb.

Any idea where the Garainals version of that is?

by the way, how long would I last in st louis before getting shot in the forehead by suggesting that if ozzie smith played his same career in the 90's and 00's, he wouldn't sniff the hall of fame?

I don't even drink that shit. Wait, they have Schafly. It's ok.

Hmm. I think knee tunes originally posted it, right?

Longer than you would last in Chicago if you suggested Mike Ditka wasn't that great of a coach because he had Walter Payton and Buddy Ryan's 46.

I think the only cardinal I am neutral on is Fernando Tatis.

I think BRL believed me.

Nah. I pulled out my abacus.

Kaius wrote:How can someone hate the Cardinals? Really though? They are nothing like the Yankees other having a long history of mostly winning games. The fans fill up the stadium even in bad years and they don't get a ton of publicity. Their squads are always built on young well rounded guys like Carpenter and Grichuk around tough, key veterans like Molina and Holliday, and their pitching staff has put together one of the better seasons in recent memory after losing it's ace.

Is it just a "hate them because they win a lot of division titles" thing?

There are plenty of reasons to like the Cardinals, that you stated. There's also a somewhat hypocritical smugness to the Cardinals organization (LaRussa is the epitome of this) and Cardinal fans in general, as if they invented fandom and baseball in general, everything is perfect and the Cardinals are incapable of playing baseball imperfectly. In general, that's the hallmark of most wildly successful teams and fan bases, the media just helps in promoting this theme.

They are awesome this year, they are awesome a lot of years. In some ways it's probably jealousy, but if you aren't a fan of the Cardinals, they seem to get every close call and the coverage gets a little insufferable.

That said, a little annoying is different than actual hate.
