jnastynebr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Cubs will always have a loyal following, no matter how bad they are. I was in Chicago last year and went to a Friday afternoon game at Wrigley vs Pittsburgh, and I could not believe how many people came out for the game, I mean the place was packed. There is just something about Wrigley that makes it okay to drop $20 on a pair of hot dogs and an Old Style. There are only a few rows of seats in left field, so its easy for a right handed hitter to smack a ball out of the park, and kids hang in the streets outside the park to see if they can get a home run ball. Hands down the coolest park in MLB. Citi Field is great in a modern sort of way. I got some killer seats to a Friday night game against Atlanta, and it was pretty much just die hards because the the Mets were basically already out of the playoff race, so It was really cool. I love Citi, but there is nothing like taking an occasional outing at a classic park like Wrigley to watch a 100+ year old club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the craziest fans on the face of the earth IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Would love to see the Cardinals against Tampa or Detroit. As long as the cheating "Yankers" don't make it to the WS, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Since the departure of Mark McG from St. Louis, there are few Cards fans outside of the local market. Everyone in Connecticut is raging about the yank offs or mourning the sox, but I have heard a surprising amount of buzz about the Brewers. East Coast Yanks haters are secretly cheering Milwaukee. We could never cheer for Detroit or St. Louis, because they are in competition for the nation's sh*ttiest city award, and we all know that that honor belongs to New Haven . Colin Cowherd just said St. Louis-Phili got a 2 rating yesterday! Twice that many people watched Baylor-K State game on Saturday(2 mediocre Big XII college football teams with no chance for a BCS bowl). That's with 70 other college teams bangin' it out all over the country. Alabama-Florida got a 4.7! At least NY-Detroit got a 3, but still less than half the fans that watched Nebraska-Wisconsin. Probably the only team I dislike more than the Yankees are the Gators. Cubs will always have a loyal following, no matter how bad they are.

I'm not a huge Cubs fan (do like 'em though), but they have my favorite field in the league. Would love to catch a Braves/Cubs game at Wrigley. Would love to see the Cardinals against Tampa or Detroit. As long as the cheating "Yankers" don't make it to the WS, I'm happy. I like you.

Daryl M Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Lovin' this October baseball!! Out of the 4 divisional series, we have 3 winner-take-all, Game 5 games today. The Cardinals and Chris Carpenter facing the Phillies and Roy Halliday should be classic. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzboy Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Cool. Now we'll see if the Cardinal can get past Philly. Well if the Cards face either Brewers or Diamondbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aster1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Now for the Brewers then prolly the Tigers, and Holy Cow, the Cards win it. Still did want to see a Yanks/Cards WS with the Cards winning. Can't remember stats on how long ago that happened with Yanks & Cards in the Series. Will have to look it up. YeeHaw. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aster1 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Yes Sir, I just HAVE to have a great reason (STL) to watch the Worlds Series this year!!! It would be nice to see the Tigers vs. Cards (with the announcement from Harry C. from above: Holy Cow! Cards win, Cards win!!!!) Ya, I know he was a Cubs man, but I loved to hear him say that. Check and chime in on my post about Aniv. Guitars and what you think about the value if you would please. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPguitarman Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Ok, Texas was interesting. Loved Saturday Night (16-7). Let's bring it back home. The Card's play better with their backs against the wall, just like the end of August, September, The Phillies and The Brewers. GO CARDS...
