2. A little late to be noting the Pirates were eliminated...
They flamed out well over two months ago.

4. Uhh. It's been 30+ years since the Pirates could have been considered
an empire.

3. It's also curtains for Philly's "Dream Team" and their 4 pitchers.
St. Louis 1, Philadelphia 0 Game 5

Nearly everybody thought with with the pitching talent they lined up (Halladay, Lee, Oswalt & Hammels) they would waltz into the World Series.

As football's NY Giants coach Tom Coughlin would say: "Talk's Cheap. Play the Game"

5. Kinda like Philly with their CB's
They were a superbowl lock, now they are 1-3 and barely hanging on. Andy Reid will be fired if they don't make the play-offs this year.

7. Alas, we're still stuck with Tony LaRussa and the douchebaggery of Cardinals fans.
Hopefully that will end this round.

10. If Cardinals fans hadn't decided to work hard to become the Yankees fans of the NL...
... then maybe they could claim class.

Unfortunately, they've followed their asswipe manager down the road to scumbagville.

Cardinals fans are, in general, ugly.

11. What are you talking about?
Nonsensical rantings, attacks, generalizations. Are you OK?

12. I'm talking about the real world.
You should visit sometime.

Cardinals fans, in general, are scum, much like the Cardinals manager, who has turned his team into a classic group of whiners.

13. Nice, Midwestern Cardinal fans?
Best baseball city in the country.

You should visit sometime.

15. I've been many times.
It's not very nice, and the baseball fans are douchebags.

Why are you so dishonest about it?

14. Assembling the best players that money can buy
does not mean you've assembled the best TEAM that money can by.

There is no "I" or "U" in "team." There is no "$", either.
