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. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'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. : )
ReplyDeleteFr. Juhl! I am scandalized!!!!

We have a saying here in New England:
ReplyDeleteI 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."
ReplyDeleteHow's that for an ancient headline.
