I have absolutely no problem with fans of the other team coming to town and cheering on their team. If you had actually read the piece (or if you could actually read) you would have gotten that. You would have also grasped that this is not a Cardinals blog.

I have problems with the way Cubs fans specifically go about that, in ways that are as tacky and pin-headed as your comment. It’s about having respect and Cubs fans don’t have any.

We deal with visiting fans screaming and chanting every time the Cardinals come to town. It’s part of the rivalry. Sorry if can’t handle visiting fans cheering their team on.

Like your team and it’s bush league antics, you need to grow up.

My friend,
I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m saving my rant for another day about this very topic. Surprisingly as a Braves fan, in Braves gear, at Wrigley, I didn’t get a LOT of agony when I visited. Some… but not much.

Still…
the fact remains, the chanting throughout the game is a disrespect and an outrage to me. You are VISITING a place where season ticket holders like myself like to come and watch their team and enjoy the game. How would they feel if people treated the sacred “Friendly Confines” this way? Turner is like a home to me. And a guy who shows up 30 times+/- a year to watch the team I grew up with has to endure everything from all that you mentioned above to “Laaaary” chants… in my stadium!

I’ve said enough and I’m still angered by the experience I had at the park tonight.

All I’m saying is, I’m buying Bartman a ticket to every playoff game the Cubs are in.

Oh, and Shaun, again a very well put post. Thanks for being a true fan. I’ll try not to get too bent out of shape by these Cubs jerks but I haven’t even told you all the stories of their rudeness I’ve experienced since 2003.

Ugh. Yesterday was pretty bad. I don’t know if you saw the telecast, but there was this girl who was screaming whenever the Cubs were at the plate. Every. Damn. At bat. You’d think her parents would be considerate enough to break out the chloroform? But nope.

Of course, there’s also that whole Bartman incident.
