that's so BS. I've never ever heard any of this.... been here since 1978 as an adult. This just comes up yearly......

You are one of the few Cards fans that I've encountered that aren't jackasses. Probably because you don't live in STL. There's something about citizens of St. Louis that makes them assholes. It's the sense of entitlement and superiority that many of them have.

Wear a Royals shirt in STL, or even a college town like Columbia or Springfield, MO, and you'll see what I'm talking about.

For the record, its never the old Cards fans. The old-guy Cards fans, who are Cards fans because the Royals didn't exist when they were kids, are almost always great to talk to. It's the younger fans for some reason that are unashamedly moronic.

Quoted for the ultimate TRUTH. This is my experience with St. Louisans nearly 75% of the time.

if you're gonna hate
please keep it in-state

Sometimes I wish they'd do away with interleague play, because CHRIST I GET SICK OF HEARING THIS SAME BULLSHIT EVERY fuckING YEAR.

:banghead:

and it's still 7 hours till game time.

Ya, the BS is starting to get really thick in here.

I have two Royals hats I wear here in Springfield and have never had anything said to me. On a side note though, I was in Orlando a couple of weeks ago and saw a guy wearing a Gil Meche t-shirt at Disney World. I about flipped. I don't think the Royals represented very heavily around the world.

Ditto. I used to like the Cardinals as my second team until I went to college, the fan base turned me against them. And I hate to classify the whole fan base bc there are some good fans like BRC, fraz etc but its fairly close to what reaper said.

Spot on accurate.

they are a victim of their age/generation

I have much more fun pointing out the fact that we stole a first ballot hall of famer out of your back yard. Nice scouting there, fellas.

My problem with the Royals lies exclusively with Herk Robinson's infamous "we have American League fans" garbage when the Royals had a chance to move to the NL and be relevant again. The Cards would've come to KC a few times a year, the Royals could've competed in the NL where the lack of the DH keeps costs a little lower and everyone would be happy.

Instead Herk Robinson uttered quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard, David Glass (or whichever idiot in a suit was running the team at the time) clearly bought said nonsense and now the Royals are still in the AL Central getting their heads kicked in and are still as irrelevant as ever.

But I'm sure those 'American League' fans don't mind.

As one of those old geezers maybe what you say is true and I'm clueless as to how the young Cardinal fans are treating Royal fans.

But I don't remember any Cardinal fans that post here that consider the Royals a rival. Or that Derrikinger is the reason we lost in 85. That 85 still matters.

Your and idiot!

This coming from a Cards fan: Pujols was not supposed/expected to be this good. The Cards staff passed on him how many rounds? TWELVE! To say we STOLE him out of their backyard is perhaps the most ignorant thing I have heard. I could understand if we got him in the first day of the draft, but we got him in the 13th round!! We took a flier and hit the jackpot... hardly stealing anything.

I am one of those younger guys and I rarely, if ever, say anything derrogatory about the Royals or their fans that I don't also say about the Cards fans.
