Well, the thread has devolved to mizzoukills knighting hard for his team. And for that he gets props. I am a Cubs fan, and I do hate the Cardinals, but not for what they do on the field. That can't be denied or ridiculed.

But for someone (Bob Nightingale) to write this article (which I hope was an elaborate troll) and actually believe it (like the Cardinals do) is astounding to me.

This line reverberates:

YEAH REAL frickING QUIET. They won't shut the frick up about how quiet they are.


This is all in good fun, after all. Maybe not Magary's obsession with hating the Cardinals, but us fans using it in a back and forth.

I'll admit it just fine. I hate the goddamn St. Louis Cardinals and their mouthbreathing, toothless fandom. But I say that fully aware of my team and fandom's shortcomings.

I'm sure most of their fans are good people. But like with most things, one bad apple spoils the barrel.

St.Louis Cardinals own a large piece of DeaDSpins writers dome. They obsess on Cardinals, they talk about them all the time. They think trying to cut them down, make fun, or attack affects them.

For christs sake, Bill Dewitt, pay Deadspin the cash for taking up so much space in their dome.

That may be true...but what the writer is saying is also true.

Hilarious comparison. Talk about a club & city that need to get over themselves. You'll never be New York. Stop being so angry over it.

And FYI, the score is 11-8, with 5 of Boston's coming before the turn of the century.

frick...fine then...I'll own it. Cardinals fans, in all of our boring yet knowledgeable glory, are without a doubt the Best Fans in Baseball.

And you can take that to the bank!

one thing about the cardinals, rarely do those that love them or those that hate them talk about the team...only the fans.

This guy obviously has an axe to grind with anything Cardinals related. TH03 could have written that "article".

Uh what?

I'm simply crucified for being just one of the legion of best fans in baseball who love everything about the best franchise in baseball - the St. Louis Cardinals. My love for all things Cardinals (including Taveras) is also my Achilles heel.

best thing in the entire column (Although the whole thing is fricking hilarious)

"Jesus, how easy is it to impress a baseball player? Next time I see a Cardinal, I'm gonna pat him on the head and say "Good job," and he'll be blown the frick away."

the actual USA Today article is even better when you realize the extensive sunshine pumping in the article is inspired by truth.

I don't hate the Cardinals or their fans, but I think you're an imbecile. Not sure how where I fit into this predicament.

You guys should quit giving them material. I'd start with not hurling racial epithets at peaceful protesters.
