Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


It was fun!

For the most part.

AI only had to step on me once and I hope he doesn't step on me for this one...cause it's about me...and BCB.

I just want to say that as a Cardinal fan, new to this place, I was accepted pretty well and I appreciated that. It made it fun.

For those of you who gave me a hard time just because I'm a Cardinal fan and I can't spell...well...you're forgiven and I'll try to improve on my spelling for by next season, 'cause I'll be back. The fun outweighed the abuse.

To ALL of you here...man, I sure hated to see the Cubs fold up, just like you did.

Better luck next year!

It is nice having you around

I enjoy differing opinions and views presented in a respectful manner, and you always did that.

Dave is OK in my book

He acted respectfully and classy and that’s all you can ask from a visiting fan of the archrival.

I have a great respect for most Cardinals fans.

In general, I find that they love baseball, are passionate about their team, and respect the rivalry. You have done that here, and you’re welcome to participate.

We’ll get you guys again next year, too.

I enjoyed your posts

I rarely replied because when I had a response someone else posted it before I did and I couldn’t see posting the same response as others. Thank you for giving us food for thought and for being here giving us a different perspective.

 My dad is a Cardinal fan and his memories go back to the Gas House Gang days. He still talks about Dizzy Dean. Unlike most Cubs fans, because of my dad I have a soft place in my heart for the Cards, except when they play the Cubs of course.

Have a great off season!! God Bless You!

I was thinking of making a comeback until I pulled a muscle -- vacuuming.
