****Royals @ Cards Game 1 Thread****

[epitome1170]

(FWIW... Cards fan talking)

Not sure why I even bother BUT:

No matter who you are a fan of you are going to find fans from other teams that annoy you. Hell, you will probably find fans of your team that annoys you. For one, I am sickened by the occassional reference from Royals fans about 1985 and how they won the last time "it mattered" between the two clubs. But I am just as sick of the Cards fans bringing up the call. Either way it was 23 years ago. Either was this is a series that no one outside of a very small minority will consider a rivalary.

I firmly believe that no matter what fan base you look at you are going to find the fans that will always something so truly ignorant and absurd that "justifies" their teams or makes their teams appear better to another fan base. I will even go as far as to say that this percentage is roughly the same for all fan bases. People need to quit whining (and bragging) about 1985 and start taking the series for what it is... 3 games out of a 162 game season.

The people that brag (or whine) about something that happened in 1985 are the same people that still brag about when they were younger they won a little league championship. Give me a break... it's over.


Besides this, some fans do cheer for both teams (like me), but their loyalty resides with one team more heavily.

AND we have at least one thing in common if you are a true Royals/Cards fan... we hate the teams from Chicago.
