I know you’re half joking about all this (I think), but you can’t switch teams if you’re an actual diehard fan.

That’s why I’m still a Cincinnati Reds and Detroit Lions fan.

I’m gonna go cry now. (Although the Reds will compete for a wild card this season)
I'm not joking...[smoke] When I was a Reds fan I was still in my late teens but I also understood the impact of firing Sparky. I was never a Detroit fan but I cheered them on when Sparky took them to a WS title. Anyway, I've never forgiven the Reds org. for making that mistake.

Now that you’ve been a part of both tell these guys how much better it is. It’s not even close. Cardinal baseball is really special.

However, I’ve got a friend who sent me to Cincinnati for the cardinals series behind home plate and Cincinnati has some incredibly nice people. I enjoyed the city and the taco place next to the stadium made me want to take bathroom breaks to pleasure. And I’ve got a couple Johnny Bench Bobble heads!!
I've cheered on the Cardinals for 30+ years. I stopped being a Reds fan when I was in my late teens. The Reds were interesting when they had Sweet Lou at the helm but guess what...they fired him as well. [roll] Bunch of clowns. [laughing]

In Western Kentucky it's all St Louis fans, I remember when I went to work at Toyota and wore a St Louis Cardinal shirt I caught all kinds of hell. I really didn't think about it much but it's all big red machine in that area, I guess I should have known that, they were pretty passionate about the Reds.

I have often heard posters mention that certain sports writers get their ideas for stories from this board. After reading the sea of blue article, color me convinced. They say Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Do you feel flattered?

I don't know how any Kentucky fan cheers for any team in any sport with a cardinal for a mascot.

high school cardinal alum, STL Louis cardinal baseball fan and NFL cardinal fan (from their STL days). I still have problems wearing red though, lol!!!

That was end of the BRM. But trading this guy because his best days were behind him! WTF.

For the Reds fans that don't know the Reds history...

Here's a bubble gum card to help explain. Damn I wish I had that card. It would be framed and hanging on the wall.

Managers are hired to be fired. But Yes Dick Wagner was a clown GM. Mike Brown is a clown.

How is it Jocketty was a master as GM for STL .. and I do miss him at STL... but cant do anything right with Cincy? lol.

I absolutely love STL Cardinals but I havent watched much since the hacking scandal.. I knew balls and strikes wouldnt go our way for a few years.... but I do listen to the radio as much as I can because Mike Shannon is a character!
