[Angels 35]

Why does TBS insist on showing the fans in the stands constantly.......so :censored:ing annoying ! That tigers-orios game was a pain

[Tigers6884 494]

In quite a departure from the usual, it was the pitching that was the Tigers' weakness yesterday. That game was hard to watch. They'd better get their together so we can actually have a close game today.

Add the freaking Mayor of Saint Louis to the reasons the Cardinals are despised.

"The Right Cardinal Way," America!

Oh noes, the mayor of a city took pride in something about his city! Oh noes!

Seriously, what did you want him to say? "Yes, you should hate the Cardinals. I totally understand. We're terrible. In fact, I'm going to talk them into resigning their playoff spot."

Seriously, you're all as insufferable as you make Cardinals fans out to be.

[Germanshepherd 1,033]

Tigers have a lead....aaaaand it's gone.

Cardinal fans like you going in full on defense mode at the slightest criticism is why you gets are so unnerving to folks.

"Slightest criticism"? Really? So that's the only thing that's been posted in here, or in the MLB season threads, or anything else over the last couple of years?

Also, "defense mode"? I freely admit that there are plenty of morons going on about "god's team", "the Cardinal Way", and all of that crap. I get why that's annoying. Hell, I hate many of those people.

But the piling on has gotten waaaaaaay past old. Seriously. We get it: you hate the Cardinals. You think all Cardinals fans are inbred, redneck jerks. Shut the up about it already. If STLF (sorry, man; I'm throwing you under the bus here) comes back and starts yapping about the Cardinal Way, feel free to go for it. But otherwise? It's a tired act. (...which means CS and admiral will make sure to turn it up, while they explode if you should mention another certain team that may or may not play in the NL.)

[ninersdd 578]

Ugh, that's Posey's biggest weakness, hitting into double plays with RISP too much.

[YessSir32 28]

Tigers will never win anything as long as they can't get at least two guys who can pitch out the bullpen.

It's the price of success and I'd gladly trade places to be the hated fanbase.

You don't get to be constantly good AND not hear it from other fans all the time.

That includes your Mayor. You know, the person in charge of keeping order in a municipality, who maybe shouldn't try to insinuate some flame wars with other American cities.

Name me another American Mayor who blatantly teabags other cities and their habits, then pretentiously tries to play the innocence card.

Rahm Emanuel teabags his own people every day.

Saw it was 6-3 Detroit, and thought there's no way the Tigers let the Orioles come back, well I was wrong, just as I was wrong with Calhoun going deep on the second third pitch in the Top 10th. I think I might have go the count right, just wrong team. Wanted the Royals to win, just had a feeling Angels were going to take it in 10. So my prediction skills are a bit off...

Well said. And this is coming from a Boston sports fan.

[CS85 10,599]

I wouldn't care if the Mayor said something as simple as, "Whatever, lol, go Cardinals," or to that effect. Instead he goes to the very source and through the course of several agonizing paragraphs brazenly shows the reader his penis. It was pretentious, pointless humblebragging that accentuated all the reasons I and obviously many others have come to hate that franchise and city's humblebragging sports culture.

Hating the Cardinals is my schtick, sure, but it must be weird having your own fan base cannibalizing itself like this as the decent fans can only watch and facepalm.

Bryce Harper crushes a pitch off Hunter Strickland. Upper Deck beltway bruiser. 3-1 Giants.

Edit: 3-2 Giants as Cabrera hits one.

Just look at it this way. Those who sprinkle so much salt are usually fans of teams like the Dodgers and the Cubs.

The CUBS. They root for the Chicago Cubs.

That should make you feel better immediately.
