I have to admit, I'm shocked that William knows anything about baseball. and more than that, I have to admit I am rooting hard for the Cards! after all these years in Cardinal Nation - the redbirds have wormed their way into my wee-little heart... Mind you, not enough to replace the Dodgers. I still bleed blue (and that has nothing to do with local hockey.) But the Cards are firmly #3 - after the Angels formerly known as California and Anaheim. But because of the 80s I HATED the Cardinals, so saying they are #3 is saying a LOT. (Now you all know that William has no idea what I'm talking about here.)
I cheered for the Cardinals against the Mets because I hate the Yankees.
Since the Mets play in the same city (albeit not the same borough) as the Yankees, I hate the Mets.
But even though I am an occasional Cardinals fan, I am cheering for the Tigers on the basis of pure works righteousness. They've gotten to the World Series the Old Fashioned Way... they've earned it.

Yeah... Like YOU care. ;-)
I'm with Fenton on this one. I'm a sucker for the underdog/phoenix.
Hey, I watched the play-off games. I am definitely a fair-weather friend to the Cards. : )
Fr. Juhl! I am scandalized!!!!

We have a saying here in New England:
I have two favorite teams: the Boston Red Sox; and whoever beats the Yankees.
That is plenty of basis for me to say GO TIGERS!

"Tigers maul Cardinals in local Coleseum."
How's that for an ancient headline.

Ah, Chaz, how the opinio legis sticked glued to our ribs till death. You really MUST learn to revel in GRACE when you see it. : )
Fr. Fenton,
Is that your definition of mauled? ; )
Hey, I'll root for anyone that can beat those &!#$! Yankees!
