yep, but you know in ESPN-Country no teams exist east of New York.

btw next week's match-up:


Dice-K vs Petite
Beckett vs Clemens
Schilling vs Wang


Sox win 2 out of 3.

are you sure? It seems to me that (when it's full) Yankee Stadium is the loudest place to see a good game...both on TV or in person. I don't watch the Cards much but I didn't get that impression when I watched the World Series.

yes. st. louis is a shithole of a city that is rich in baseball tradition. the cardinals are the only thing the city has to look forward to these days. and yes I've been to a game last season at the new busch stadium



their fans also travel well.

well I'd say they're the biggest team (history, success, fanbase) in the National League but bigger than the Yankees? I don't know...but then again I"m an unabashed AL fan and couldn't give a shit about the Cardinals. I was cheering for the Tigers last year.

do you have mlb.tv? if yes just watch some Cardinals home games in archive, their fans are so much better than the Yankees.

for loudness? is that what makes a crowd good though?

There are certain "baseball towns" in North America and St. Louis is definitely one of them...but listen to crowds say, in Toronto or even Seattle. It's not the same as being at Busch, Yankee Stadium, Wrigley, Shea, Fenway, etc.

I would one day like to see Busch stadium but as Vern says, St. Louis only have their sports and not much else to see. At least when I drag my friends to NYC every couple of years there's lots of stuff to do around trips to Yankee Stadium.

To say the Cardinal fans are BETTER than the Yankees fans is a serious stretch. I highly doubt you can come to that conclusion by visiting one game, one time, one year. To say the Cards fans AND the Yankees fans are the most passionate in baseball, then I'll agree. I'd put them 1a and 1b. Both are loud and knowledgeable (when to clap, curtain calls, stand up for 2 strikes, funny when mocking the other players, etc). I've seen countless players say that Yankee stadium is by far the best place to play because of the fans.

Baseball players opinions >>> Vern's opinion

yeah man...that's what I was thinking too. It's all true...I've been there many times now to see it in person.

Remember when Paul O'Neil played his last game in 2001 (game 5 WS). The way the crowd chanted his name was like nothing I've ever seen.
