They're better than Michael Bolton

None of their roster has burglarized my home as of yet. That is a plus.

Driving through St. Louis is a nice reminder that I only have 6 more hours to go until I reach Milwaukee.

 

The St. Louis Zoo has a nice duck pond!

 

The Budweiser tour had some big horses.

 

It's not East St. Louis.

The arch and the mississippi river is nice. can't think of anything about the team or ther fans that are nice.

[homer]

The better team does not win 100% of the time even with home field advantage, it is rare they win even 70% of the time.

I realize you like bringing people back to earth but for one night can you just....not do that?

Nope, I am not a kneejerk poster and never will be.

Well you got that word half right any way.

[young guns]

I have cousins that live in Stl who are pretty cool despite being Cards fans.

[cwolf2012]

They will be eliminated from the baseball playoffs in about a week's time. That's about the best I can do.

 

Also, I don't really have anything against Berkman or Holliday.

You take that back.

I said this in the non-Brewers IGT and I stand by it:

 

"2011 Cardinals are the 2010-2011 Packers. Tons of talent, great leadership at the helm, decimated by injuries and hindered by bad breaks, forced to settle for the Uno card instead of winning division, forced to hit the road for the entire playoffs, super dangerous & poised to shock the world, team of destiny."

 

Don't get me wrong, I really really really hate "stare-down every-home" Pujols, "punk-clown-look-on-my-face" Molina, and "ass-u-R-aL" LaRussa, but I'd be dishonest if I didn't admit to respecting the crap out of what that organization does year after year. Duncan's inluence is a myth? You could probably convince me. LaRussa isn't really that good? You could probably convince me. All I know is, over the last handful of years it seems like all this Cardinals team does is exceeed expectation and turn potential excuses into distant memories as they just get it done. As a rival fan, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was jealous.

 

Cards fans are the most spoiled fan base in the NL, and it upsets me greatly, but I guess it's mostly envy....

I haven't physically seen any Cardinals players eat any babies.

haHA! Very nice.

 

 

Say Something Nice About the Cardinals

 

Why?

[moofnelson]

"Be careful what you wish for." That is what I've been saying to people who wanted St. Louis in the NLCS. Yes, the Brewers have the home field advantage, but that can change quickly.

 

Well written post Valpo. I was thinking along the same lines a few hours ago. This is not the Packers/Bears NFC Championship. The Brewers are playing a legitimate championship caliber team.

Cardinal fans...all class....or maybe this is Chris Carpenter's alter ego?

 

@scott_chihoops

Im going to game 3 and 5 of the NLCS. Hey Nyjer Morgan @TheRealTPlush Can't wait to see you get hit by the first pitch you see Sunday!!!!!

[sargennm]

St. Louis is a very nice home for me, my wife and my kids.

[dlk9s]

Cardinals are pretty birds and I like seeing them show up in my yard.

[bullox]

Cardinals are birds that survived evolution.

 

Take that, Dodo.

[nate82]

At least they are not the Red Sox or the Yankees. I think that was something nice about the Cardinals?

[Glennron]

My little league team when I was 13 was the Cardinals.

[craigharmann]

Chris Carpenter seems to be a caring, concerned father as he looks for ways to inform and educate his son on things that defy explanation.

Please, Please hit Morgan with a pitch! That just puts a runner on for Braun and Prince!

[jason21nl]

I hate the Cardinals more than any other team, even more than the Phillies and Red Sox. Congrats!

[NievesNoNO]

No Cardinal has ever given me a venereal disease.

........yet

 

Cardinals are red. Uecker was a Cardinal. The Cardnials have given us home field!

 

 

[theavrock]

There is this guy at my school who is a Cardinals fan. As misguided as he may be he is a pretty nice dude, so they have at least one good fan.

 

That's all I have. I hate the Cardinals with every fiber of my being and I would like nothing more than to absolutely destroy their hopes and dreams in this series.

[Invader3K]

They play in a pretty nice stadium which the Brewers have seemed to do well in lately.

[mothershipconnection]

I derived a good bit of satisfaction from them beating a ginormous payroll team.
