I'm an everyday reader of Christine, and I WAS rooting for the Tigers. By the way, I am a Sox fan...the Red ones. And the only reason I cannot root for the Cards is because they were responsible for my first huge baseball defeat. Bob Gibson and company, 1967. I was just a little kid, but oh how the Red Sox took over that summer of Sgt. Pepper, 1967. The Cards were too good.....so after the KR fiasco, I have no one to root for. But I do write a baseball blog, so I watch the games. Take care, and hi Christine. Great comment Michelle!! Michelle, I agree. I’m an everyday reader of Christine, and I WAS rooting for the Tigers.

Thanks again for your comments…it gives me/us a unique perspective from an actual Cardinals fan–something I don’t really have a ton of exposure to, living in NE PA..:-)

And while I don’t plan on rooting for the Cardinals–you’re right–they are getting the job done…:-)

I just wanted to "weigh in" on Staingate too. You're right, other teams' fans are more concerned with it than us Cardinals fans. We're over it, I mean, my Lord, it's Game 4 already tonight. Kenny Rogers shut us down plain and simple. LaRussa knows that (and can be quoted as to something to that affect) and Cardinal Nation knows it. Unfortunately, the media likes to find something to monopolize off of and this year they found it on Kenny Rogers' hand. I just wish all of the fairweather fans wouldn't support the media's ridiculous exploitation of the incident - but what can I do? I'm just one Redbird Girl. I am going to say that I'm sick of everyone underestimating and downing the Cardinals. We deserve any accolades thrown our way. We've been the underdogs for this entire postseason and it's a little frustrating. The Cards are a good team and you can't deny that. I understand you don't like them, and that's your prerogative, but you still have to give them their dues. It's not so AMAZING that they won two of the WS games - it just isn't. I know what everyone says - "the Cards only won 83 games in the regular season". Who gives a hoot? We had a completely different line up and postseason is a whole new season in my mind. Anyway, I'll shut up now...thanks for listening, guess I was just venting. Keep up the good work on the blog! Hi again!
