most Cardinals fans on here grew up in Springfield, Columbia area or St. Louis. If your a baseball fan in those areas, you were a Cardinal fan. I was watching the Cardinals in a World Series before the Royals existed. I was also watching Lenny the cool and Otis Taylor on TV. The Chiefs were and still are the NFL football team in Springfield.

You are a fan of the team you grew up with. You can’t switch because they suck or you moved to a different town. That’s a violation of fan rule #1. No bandwagon fans are tolerated.

Not sure I 100% agree with this.

What if you grew up in a city where there's really no support from the community for the team and the atmosphere is just dead... Rays or Marlins. Then you move to a city like New York and its nothing but die hard support for the Yankees. Pretty sure I would give a pass to someone who became a Yankee fan after falling in love with the community.

Die hard fans of the Ray and Marlins have all my respect. It's gotta be ****ing hard to be motivated to be a fan of those teams when no one gives a rats ass about them.

Yes, that would be a bandwagoner exception. Because the fan was never on board. Nor the city with the team.

But, if you grew up a Dolphins fan, you don’t get to become a Giants fan upon the move to New York because there are a lot of Dolphins fans and still the passion fans of the team exists.

MLB is an abomination. What a pathetically planned season.

MLB.tv is actually refunding my $

If any other cardinals fans feel so inclined.

We all need refunded for major league baseball ****ing up this bad.

To be fair, those of us who aren't Cardinals fans are enjoying the season just fine. Time will tell if that continues.

Yeah, I've been glad it's happening. Feel sorry for Cards fans but let them get well and try again next year.

Royals season has went just fine.

I really didn't want to.. baseball is about all I watch in the summer. I just don't see how STL continues the season logistically without it being an absolute shit show. We are already postponing make up games.

A lot of doubleheader’s.

Its all a big master plan to ensure a bunch of 7 inning games so they dont have to use their bullpen as much.

Double slate for Thursday is postponed.

If they're able to get up and running maybe I'll buy it again.

Friday’s game has been canceled.

A lot of doubleheader’s coming up for the Cards.

They’d be smart to just eliminate the Cards from the season. Not many people outside of the die hard Cardinals fans really believe they’re a legitimate playoff threat anyways. MLB would be better off just cancelling their season and using some of the created empty parts of teams schedules for rest days or to logistically move things around for other makeup games.

Are these MLB dumbass’s using that testing kit that produces 50% false positives?


The Cardinals learned Thursday a member of Mike Shildt's staff had a new positive test for COVID-19 after several days of inconclusive results, according to a source. The coach has been in isolation for the past week awaiting confirmed results of multiple tests. ESPN reported the team is bringing up Jose Oquendo to coach third base.

Almost made it back to normal.

1 player and shutting it down now. What a joke. ****ing pointless to even do this season half assed. Absolutely no plan at all even with months to plan.

Yup they should just be isolating the player and calling up another one.

We’ve seen how fast one player turns to however many

If they are practicing the protocols it shouldn't be an issue.

Then don't play at all

Exactly. The testing is so bad anyway. I'm not sure how any test positive or negative can be taken with face value.
