" Charlemagne.. while I respect your opinion... I must disagree. The Cardinal fans are very knowledgeable. Ask any commentator who does a game in St. Louis or any player who has been a Cardinal. They will all tell you that the Cardinal fans know more about baseball than any other fans and that they support their teams unconditionally. As for bandwagon fans... the Cardinals have actually went down in attendance rankings in the NL. They are ranked 3rd in 08 and 07... the two years AFTER they won the WS in 06. The Cubbies on the other hand only got as high as 3rd or 4th in the NL attendance ranking in the year they won division titles. In off years record wise the Cubs were in 5th , 6th or 7th place. That is a CLASSIC example of bandwagon fan. Go to the games when the team is hot and it's the trendy thing to do. "

" There are fans of all types for each team, so I do my best to judge it on the majority, not just a few bad apples. With the execption of the bleachers at Wrigley, (which is fun, but full of drunk idiots mostly) I think Cubs fans are knowledgable of the game and respectful. And they cheer loud, Wrigley has the best atmosphere I have ever seen. I used to say the same about the Cardinals, but the last couple games I have been to in St. Louis, they have shown that they are no longer as knowlegable as they used to be. I am guessing it is due to lots of band wagon fans because of the '06 world series. "

" Been to 7 games this year. Sure, I never claimed all Cubs fan are angels, but the Cardinals used to be classy and have gone all trashy over the past few years "

" Charlemagne--You must not go to many games. I went to a couple of the games in April and I would say the majority of Cubs fans present were either a) so drunk they were on the verge of passing out in their seat or b) busy trying to start fights with Cardinal fans. They also showed their knowledge by chanting overrated when Pujols was up to plate (which Pujols responded with a home run). Having been to Cubs games recently where they are not playing the Cards, I can say that trend continues. As an announcer recently said, the Cubs have the most obnoxious fans in baseball. "

" Hey Cubs fans...notice the complete lack of effort by Edmonds on that sacrifice fly attempt? Get used to it (if you haven't already). Not only was that ball pretty deep, but the throw was by no means perfect. There is no way he should have not scored. His nonchalant, half-effort lost the game for his team. "

" Nascar-- your comments and your user name put Cardinal fans like myself to shame.

Cub fans... please do your best to ignore him and realize MOST Cards fans aren't like him. "

" I was at the game, so I didn't see any replays, was Edmonds truly out at home when he tagged in the top of the ninth? He look safe from where I was. One thing I have noticed lately is Cardinals are not the classy, knowledgeable fans they used to be. Oh well, 1st Place!!! Go Cubs! "

" Kevin: did you complain about the two consecutive blown calls against Glaus in the 9th inning of Friday's game? Sometimes the bad calls help you, sometimes they hurt you.

Bad calls are a part of baseball, unfortunately. Until we get robot umpires. "

" I don't know what's worse.. NASCardinal Bill making us Cardinal fans look bad or the whining Cub fans? "

" " this game was fixed!!! called a ball on a check swing that shows he clearly went around. changed the complex of the whole inning. umps are missing a lot of these lately. "

You gotta be kidding me...someone grab a tissue!! "

" Kevin, you are correct, that check swing was a strike......hated seeing Ankiel come up in the 9th.....god I hate that guy....Hey Nascar....bet you got he plastered all over your wall eh "

" Hey Nascar...the only thing that you said that made any sense at all, and I do mean sense, was the "first place" that you mentioned......correct. Wood lost one for us, but yep, we are still in "first place" "

" this game was fixed!!! called a ball on a check swing that shows he clearly went around. changed the complex of the whole inning. umps are missing a lot of these lately. "

" Well it was a good win for Cards..Record crowd to see game..Hope Sun. is as good as today was..Go Cards.. "

" let the bashing begin.....go back and watch the race bill "

" Tough loss, Wood just did not have it today. We will take the series tomorrow. Go Cubs!! "

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I TOLD YOU SCRUBBIES FANS! You are all crying in your beer because the CARDS beat you and are going to take first place back where it belongs! I CALLED IT! Cards all the way! "
