Why I Think The Cardinals Have Terrible Fans

By:  Coop


Okay, so the St. Louis Cardinals are one of the better teams in the NL, and they have a great history.  Their fans didn't used to bother me at all, and I thought of them of good fans for a good team.  Well, that all changed last year when the Cards came to town to take on the Reds.  Now, we all remember what Brandon Phillips said about the Cardinals, how all they do is b---- and moan about everything, which is somewhat true.  The next day, B-Phil came to bat and before the 1st pitch was even thrown, there was a benches-clearing brawl between the two teams.  This brawl was not Brandon's fault, it could have been avoided if one man did not come out of the dugout.  That man was Chris Carpenter.  The Cardinal fans that were in Cincinnati were booing the Reds, and sure enough when the Reds went to St. Louis, they booed the Reds like crazy.  They were not gonna forget about it.  Some Red Bird fans still talk about that, and brag about how they made Johnny Cueto get suspended, and try and make the Cincinnati Reds sound bad for starting such a terrible incident last year, even though it was their fault.  


But that was the past, and now the Reds are in St. Louis about to take on those Cards, and now the fans of St. Louis are over that and don't care about that, and respect the Reds again, right?  No.   They made tee shirts making fun of Mike Leake's arrest, that just proves that they have no respect what-so-ever of anyone that does not play for their hometown team.  The Reds didn't make tee shirts last year making fun of Mark McGwire's steroid use, and did not make fun of them for being unable to resign Albert Pujols.  So, the Cardinals just had to strike first and be bad sports about this.  


All of that supports my thesis that the St. Louis Cardinals have terrible fans overall.  Not all of them are bad, some are very good and good sports, but most of them are really just terrible.


Oh, and before any Cardinal fans come on here and say "The Cardinals dominated the Reds last year, so what's it matter" or something like that, well I am not gonna deny that they did, the Cardinals dominated the Reds last year.  


There ya have it, just my thoughts.  Oh, and by-the-way, the Cards still have better fans than the Chicago Cubs and the Philidelphia Phillies.
