Cardinals’ Fans Are the Best in Baseball
Yup, best fans in baseball
It’s that time of year again, sports fans. The time when baseball teams’ front office staff returns from their various vacations/hibernations and start making news again. Last year, Tony LaRussa drew the short straw for the Cardinals and picked up a DUI to get the fans talking, but this year it seems 2nd year GM John Mozeliak was the odd man out. He was forced to have a live chat with fans, courtesy of St. Louis Today. A grim fate for any high ranking official, filled with grammatical and spelling errors and poorly thought out questions. Much like an email from Lindsay Lohan or an article on Bootlegger Sports.
Deadspin has the best out-takes, like the one where a so called fan tells the GM he lives in a fantasy world and wonders why anyone would be excited about the team signing “three horrible new lefty relievers” and a shortstop who hit .213.
Apparently, missing the playoffs the last two years has the folks in St. Louis feeling all feisty. Come on people, the Cards won the World Series three years ago, you can’t expect them to try hard all the time. What? You say you can and do expect that? Well then, now who’s living in a fantasy world?
Kudos to John Mozeliak though. His strategy for getting fans excited about the team and out to the park seems to be to insult them as much as possible. Next thing you know he’ll be standing outside of Busch with a megaphone.
“Hey ugly, bring your fat wife and mongoloid children to the game today! That goes for you too moron!”
If you want to read the entire chat transcript you can go here. But if you’re not a Cardinals’ fan, the only reason to follow that link is to question the GM’s qualifications. Apparently, being a competent English speaker isn’t a pre-requisite to run a baseball team. I guess guys like Albert Pujols, Manny Ramirez and Carlos Beltran aren’t real sticklers for the Shirley Method.
