As a former resident of St. Louis

The Cardinals fans are very good fans, just annoying and obnoxious about it to the point that you want to to punch them in the face. Think of how Wisconsin treats the Packers. It’s not quite so severe, but close.

Yeah, they are good fans. But I don’t want the smart guy telling me how smart he is, or the hot girl telling me how hot she is.

mlb channel on sirrius was annoying today

They kept hyping CC for my entire drive home yesterday, talking about he is so much more experienced in these situations and is better capable of pitching on 3 days rest…blah blah blah. I figured it was OK, they made a couple valid points. Then today, no mention of CC sucking or JV rocking, only talk about how AJ is obviously poised for a great game adn there is no way Rick is going to be able to pitch well today

I missed them say anything about JV.

I got out of work about 30 minutes late so didn’t start listening till 430. I was so tempted to call them and chew out Jim Bowden (spelling I think…). I usually kinda like him, he doesn’t seem to have that much east coast bias. I was so annoyed today that I was about to turn it off and cancel my sirrius subscription.

Hi all!

We’ll see how much I stick around today. I told myself that I would get studying done today, but I don’t know how well that that’s going to work out.

On a side note, it’s scary how easy it is to forget how young Porcello is. He’s been in the league a few years already and he’s STILL the 3rd youngest kid in the playoffs, or at least was until Tampa got eliminated.

With a sac bunt there is a 95% chance there will be an out. Swinging there is a 26-33% chance that there won’t be.
