The past three days the Atlanta Braves have scored 19 runs. Pretty awesome right? Fuck no because they've given up 31. Yeah 31, RUNS! By the way, this is a running total because as I write this it is only the 6th inning of their game against the Cardinals, who are leading 9-0.
This bodes very ill for me as I am surrounded by St. Louis Cardinals fans and will never hear the end of this, unless they Braves win tomorrow. I'll write more about Cardinals fans after my trip to Busch later this month to see the Braves in St. Louis, but I will say this about them now.
They are nice, very nice people. I have only once been legitimately harassed at a baseball game. It's the whole Midwestern thing. I truly believe they are the best fans in baseball. However (and this is a big however), they love to tell you about it. I mean they really really love to tell you about it. They never get mean when they brag about their team or fandom, but they never stop either. It may actually be all St. Louis cares about (especially now that a bunch of douchebag Belgians bought Anheuser-Busch). I can only rant so much about it, since I am in fact from St. Louis and can at least fake like I still like the Cardinals (I don't). If you want to really hear how bad it can get, ask someone from Kansas City, preferably someone from Kansas City who attended Mizzou. They'll have quite a bit to tell you.
Anyway, goddammit Braves, give me a fucking break.
P.S.-It doesn't help that Atlanta's lineup is pretty much dickless since McCann and Chipper are out.
****EDIT****
Atlanta has now put 2 runs on the board, however St. Louis added 3 more of their own.....sweet
