So Im driving down the road yesterday

So let me get this straight. You are a long time Cubs fan and Cardinals fan? What did you do as a child to get such a curse of being a fan of teams with years w/o a championship?

Just kidding. I lived in Chicago for a couple months during the summer. Never went to a Cubs game, but Cubs baseball is a religion out there. For a long time, they didn't even have night games, and playing hooky from work during the day to catch the game is not only common, but expected.

It is hard to explain. The people there are not just fans of the team, they LOVE the team.

I am rooting for the D-backs, but if for some reason they don't win, I would like to see the Cubs finally get a WS.

I thought the same about the Red Sox but then they became cocky asshats.

How can you care or worry about a team being cocky asshats when you are a Lakers fan?

The other day I saw a Cardinal logo on someone's car (I have one as well). I had to do a triple-take to make sure--it was.

There are more of us out there than you realize. And our numbers will grow.

After the 9ers lost - I was heading back to my apartment in downtown SD and stumbled across a guy wearing a Berry jersey. Can't remember the conversation very well (3 hrs at the Yardhouse will do that to ya) - but it was nice to see that not everyone here was a Chargers fan.

Dodgers fan here.

I remember hoping the D-backs would get put in the AL so I could root for them, but since they're in the same division as LA, no can do. Well, except now that LA is out and AZ is in the playoffs.

Guys i have a story. after this past steeler game, i have a long drive home (back to maricopa) and the route i take goes through a reservation. im cruising through there about halfway home. riding high from the game. and a biker gang of about 8 guys on bikes are behind me (its a 2 lane road, one road each way) and they are all wearing steelers jerseye! then they notice me in my red leinart jersey. and they decide they want to mess with me. so they surround my car as im driving. a couple behind me. like 3 to my left. and 2 more in front of me. i was asking myself to i really want to put some steeler fan roadkill out today, cause these guys arent gonna get the best of me after this game. thankfully they left before i had time to think of something to do.

i thought it was funny

Having Cardinal gear and getting comments was weird back in the "lean years", but this year even though we're only 2-2 I'm getting some of the "you guys looked good" stuff.

Snakester who was once posted articles for this forum and I ran into each other in Carolina....it was a cool encounter and we set it up in a bar in Winston-Salem....but to have our wives their listening to all our talk it was like...."that's what Doc does and that's what Doc says" by my wife....was a cool evening and I think I drank too much but I can't remember.
