Come on Dave...you know you wanna.

Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.

Dave, you are among friends.

And this will go no further than the four virtual walls of this blog. No one in St. Louis needs to know. Your secret is safe with us.

One of the things that make this such a great rivalry...

is that you guys can still have a sense of humor!
Is there anybody here than can remember the old Chicago Cardinals?
I’ll take one of THOSE jersey’s!

Who loves ya Dave?

Who accepts you for your constantly changing avatars? Who accepts your locale of residence? Who stood by you when you were but a newbie here at BCB?

You know what the right thing to do is Dave. Come to the light!

Calm down.

It'd be like

kissing my sister!

by Dave Pendleton on Jul 24, 2008 2:14 PM CDT up 0 recs

Or kissing your cousin.

Who actually isn’t your cousin but you find out later that she is but then she isn’t because you find out your aunt was adopted and isn’t actually your dad’s sister.

A virtual cookie for anyone who gets that reference.

Also Root for Redbirds (AAA, though)

I root for the “real” Redbirds in Memphis. I hate Mike Shannon calling the Cardinals the Redbirds. Though, most of my Cardinals friends love that. I’m glad the Memphis team is not called the Cardinals. I wish they were called the Chicks. My favorite major league team is the Chicago Cubs. I root for Chicago against St. Louis and root for Memphis against Iowa.

Seriously?

Whoa…I guess I’m pretty Bold rooting for Iowa over here in ABQ when they play the Isotopes. But truth be told that Iowa team means more to me than the Topes ever will…of course I still support Topes baseball with my wallet…but not my heart.

Cardinals

The football Cardinals are the equivalent of the Cubs. Check out their history. One playoff game win in the last 60 yrs. As I like to say, you can take the Cardinals out of Chicago, but you can’t take the “Chicago” out of the Cardinals!

Big Red's Awful History

The football Cardinals haven’t been to the playoffs since 1998. They beat the Cowboys in the playoffs that season. They haven’t had a 10-win regular season since 1976. There have been no division titles since 1975. Don Coryell was the coach then. They haven’t been to an NFL championship game since 1948 and haven’t won an NFL championship since 1947.

Come to the light. Let the force guide you.

On another note, this is one of the more fun posts I’ve seen in a while.

I agree

This is more like what I was hoping for when I came here. I enjoy the good natured stuff. I’d sit with you guys anytime at Busch OR Wrigley….with a red hat on!

by Dave Pendleton on Jul 24, 2008 2:57 PM CDT up 0 recs

If you are already a fan of the football Cardinals

I don’t think I can with a clear conscience encourage you to also root for the Cubs. That takes a level of masochism that I can’t even fathom.

...bought my son a Cardinals Cap for Christmas…and he thought it was funny.

There is no humor in such things.

I have a relative

who coaches his son in little league and this year his team was the Cardinals. He refused to wear the Cardinals shirt. He just wore a plain red one.

Short, actually.

I think a girl is involved. (He is almost 13.)

This year he’s on the Astros. I can’t seem to talk the league into letting him on the Cubs.

to a Cards/Cubs game she wears a Cub Hat and I wear a Cards hat….and never the twain shall meet.

Wait....

I do remember wearing a Chicago baseball hat to a Cards/Cubs game.
It’s black and has the letters CAG on it.
Anybody have a guess?

What does it mean

under the comments where it says “actions” and 0 recs?

by Dave Pendleton on Jul 24, 2008 5:08 PM CDT 1 recs

Under actions...

You can “flag” a post (basically alerting the administration if there’s bad language, trolling, etc.) or you can “rec” (short for recommend) a post. This pushes the post up towards the top of the sidebar on the right where it says “Recommended Fanposts”.
