Yes I am; Red Sox fan first, Giants fan second, Redbirds fan third.
I'm probably the lone wolf in the wilderness here pulling for St Louis; was there for game four in 2004 courtesy of a customer of mine who is a Cardinals season ticket holder and the fans couldn't have been nicer, very gracious losers and I was impressed by their attitudes.
They get a bum rap too, but seeing is believing.
Besides; sorry, I can't get behind a team with Maddon as the manager, just the sight of him standing on the top step of the dugout is enough to jerk a knot in my ass.

Always liked them as a kid, they became my national league team to pull for as I got older.Ribeye said:
I have nothing against the Cardinals, but they seem a bit like the Yankees, in one respect: they win a lot. Give the other fellas a chance.
Tough to root for Madden and Coghlan (who took out Pirate & Korean national hero Kang's knee), but man all for Theo to make a run with the Cubbies.
At one point this season, Rodon and both Rondons were on my roster. Hector is by no means automatic, but Maddon screwed with his role so often, it's hard to know what he could have been this year
That must have been somewhat confusing.staz said:
I had Hector on my roster, too. A bit inconsistent.
Yes, that "mental break" came after Maddon trotted him out against WAS 4 times in a span of 10 days.
I'm not remembering the reason for all the Madden hate. Is there a baseball reason for it? Most of the criticism seems directed at his appearance.
Incredible, can't believe I never saw this before. We need this photoshopped.barbed wire Bob said:

I agree except I'm not sure that guy is the same guy who briefly roamed Fenway's lawn.

So we got Hanley Ramirez, so cheap, and so healthy, too!AMS25 said:

Of course, I would have liked to see YC in right last year for the Sox but he refused to play there. I would want no part of a long term contract with him.
His last 3 seasons he has played 86, 128, and 105 games. I understand the appeal of his potential, as witnessed by his April. But I am concerned about his durability and his poor defense. I think Dombrowski unloads him somehow.Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:
I liked the Cespedes trade. The Sox needed pitching. But man, that Porcello contract. Ouch.
