Cards Fan Here

Do you guys ever have problems with Cardinal fans coming over and being this obnoxious?

by FlimtotheFlam on Jul 29, 2008 9:48 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not that I can recall. Crazy as it may sound, they actually come over and converse about baseball.

Lots do with Larry

Lboros runs a pretty tight shift over at Vivaelbirdos. I always like Brewers and their fans.

No way

There’s actually intelligent conversation with Cards fans.

The ultra-classy ones came over to gloat about Gallardo’s injury.

Generally no...

There’s always going to be a DBag or two in the Keg. But generally Cards fans are respectful.

I'm insulted by your avatar!

Also, are you folks aware that this is a website were Brewers fans discuss the Brewers? Would you be pissed if someone from here came over to Bizarro BCB back in April when we went 4-2 against the Cubs and wrote BREWRES WINZ lol woot !!! at the end of your game thread?

That's fine.

I don’t think it would be much appreciated if I went around and posted that dead cub picture on Bleed Cubbie whenever I saw something that insulted the Brewers- say, a Prince Fielder fat joke. And my picture was responding to the guy that posted CUBS WIN!!!

Sucks about those folks, whoever they were

I guess that kind of explains the sanctimonious paragraph on the front page at your place that Brewers fans need to chill out. There are far more obnoxious Cubs fans, but it’s not unique to Chicago.

Cubs fans. Hated by half their own city.

So the other half must love the Cubs

and that number of aprox 3 million trumps the population of the city of Milwaukee..

Is there another team anywhere in the world that is hated by half their home town? Besides, disgust at Cubs fans is much wider than their own city.

I'd love to know why I should care about this.

The fact that grown men and women actually hate the baseball team that i happen to follow (and my fellow fans and I) doesn’t exactly keep me up crying into my pillow at night.

If these people who come want to talk about baseball, fine

if they attempt to instigate animosity, no
if they post insulting pictures, no
and in general, if they come after their team wins and ours loses, no

Really only trolls. Lots of people come in here from other teams and talk baseball. Cubs trash comes in to gloat over a player being injured or tying up a series.

It wasn't about crimes

It was about stupid fans not being able to control their egos at a child’s birthday party.

Lack of respect for others?

Like a poor kid who had a terrible birthday party… or a man who now has one eye… or the family who is gonna be in trouble because that guy can’t work right without both eyes… or the other man’s family, who is probably gonna lose their primary bread winner because of some stupid stunt he pulled in defending ‘his’ team…
