I really would not want AP on the Red Sox--I think he is a bad citizen...I think his comments with regard to Tom Glavine and Game 1 were in very bad taste--I understand, heat of the moment, but when he was asked about them a day later--he stood by them--I think it was a case of poor sportsmanship... Don't have an answer for you on #2..Just my opinion The comments with regard to the fans are semi sarcastic...However, my limited exposure to the Cardinal fan base (TV internet and print) leads me to believe that many of them are far too passive--and just accept everything--good bad or indifferent. Do I think being a maniac is being a good fan? No, but I don't think blind acceptance is the way to go either... Again, thanks for your comments! Hi Michelle:

What, exactly, makes AP a jerk anyway? I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing he wouldn't be such a jerk if he played for the Red Sox? 3. I'd rather get to the playoffs 10 seasons in a row and not win the WS than win it all one year and suck for the next 9. 2. I'll have to agree with you on the sunglasses - he does look like a lounge singer. 1. I'm really hoping you're being sarcastic on this one. I don't see where being positive, cheery and supportive constitutes a bad fan. Why are we "spineless wusses" because we back our team no matter what? And, how often have you been to a game at Busch? How often have you been to any Cardinals games? How is it that you know we don't question, boo or harrass our own team members (we don't, but I'm just curious as to what you're basing your comment off)? How does bashing your own team make you a better fan? Please enlighten me as to what makes the best fan. Again, I'm hoping that was a mere sarcasm, but in case it wasn't... 4.
