Cubs - Cardinals; Honor must be restored

No offense to you Damen, but I thought it was dumb when they did it, so I have to say the same thing again.
In defense of all Cubs fans though, we don’t pretend to be above the Cardinals and pretend like we don’t care.

Cardinal Fans…where the only thing redder than their hats is their necks

Trans Am—-Official Car of your Cardinal Nation

Cardinal Nation…where the mullet and the cut off shorts live on

I could go on for days….I still have not worked in a house with wheels or marrying your sister or anything like that…

“Get a brain, MORANS!”

Since I hope Cubs nation is classier than our rivals, why not put something tasteful up? Wouldn’t that be unexpected.

But if you don’t want to go that far, how about something about the Cubs instead of the Cardinals:

Congratulations on the lucky season Cardinals!
- Your classy friends from Chicago, the greatest city in the world.

This is tacky and petty and ultimately makes everyone involved look bad. Sponsor baseball reference because it is a great, but under-funded website, not so you can get in a dig at some other team’s fans.

Cardinals fans: Using the chip on their shoulder to overshadow the Brewers since [enter some relevant date here].

I remain quite disappointed. None of the stuff was really that great. I personally would have gone with – “Quitters never win and winners never quit, and those who never quit AND never win are idiots.”

But in the interest of poking more fun at STL how about this:

Exhibit A as the best fans in baseball: http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/laworder/story/929F7F3D12210AC28625760A00134F8D?OpenDocument

And a Cubs fan, I can say that just as Cub fans range from drunk people at Wrigley who act like it’s a nightclub it’s cool to say you went to, to the 90 year old scoring in his book, having been a cub fan since 1932, Cardinals fans vary a great deal, too. Some are petty, always heckling, and some drink less Budweiser.

In general, I support a classy message on their page.

Just my $0.02.

I thought that snow message was funny because it was done right outside the latest Busch Stadium in what is supposed to be Ballpark Village some day in St. Louis. I’ve seen the T-shirts “Choke: The Official Drink of the Chicago Cubs” and posters that said “Bartman Rules”. I didn’t think that stuff was out of bounds. I can take a joke. It’s only baseball after all.

If the caption regarding the 100 years of Cubs futility had been put on a Cardinals page, then that would have been fine by me. I’m a little surprised that BR would put the derogatory captions on the 2004 Cardinals and 2008 Cubs pages, but the money from the sponsorships is green (not red or blue) and pays the bills.

I like the city, St. Louis, well enough. Because of geography, I’ve seen more Cubs games there than in any other city. Most Cardinals fans that I’ve known have been nice to me over the years. They take verbal jabs at me from time to time, but it’s mostly been good natured.

IGNORE IT

If you feed off their BS, they know they got your attention; which is 90% of their motivation at the outset.

The Cardinal is the State Bird of Illinois.

For all the roiders on that WS team?

St. Louis – Louis & Clark figured the uncharted wilderness was a better option.

St. Louis – when Minneapolis flushes, it lands here.

I think the key should be originality. From my vast experiences, Cards fans have very little of that, clinging to 1908. That’s what makes the L&C option all the more funny; most of their fans don’t know who they are.

With this in mind, I offer:

“Don Denkinger is a Cubs fan.”

outside Wrigleyville Sports while my brother and I were inside shopping, I find it hard to feel any sympathy for the honor of the Cardinals. In fact I feel none. Those boys would not have left Wrigleyville under their own power as angry as I got (they wisely told us as we were driving to Harry Carey’s after the game to get Ryne Sandberg’s autograph what happened).

That said, I know two Cards fans at work who are perfect Southern gentlemen and who I can have great baseball dialogue on and who are respectful contrarians who are credits to their chosen franchise. If only the two jerks who badgered our wives were that classy, fine.

All things considered, the Red Turds are a loathed abomination that only the White Shlox can arouse more animosity within my Cubbie Blue heart.

I don’t know what zinger we can use, but THIS pic has to be somewhere on that page

I found the whole thing extremely tacky. I don’t mind a little rubbing between Cards and Cub’s fan. But I found it pretty unsportsmanlike for a Card fan to sponsor a Cub’s BR page with trash talking. The Card’s mod at Viva El Birdos agreed and closed comments off the thread
