I'm not complaining

Of Course I’m a Cardinals Fan

I realized last week that when I woke up and put on my Cardinals hat that I didn’t know how they finished in the previous evening’s game. Granted, I only knew there was a game because I had texted my brother to see if he wanted to play frisbee and he was at “The Game”.

Last Monday there was a game as well. I know this because the new Ticker feature of Facebook was filled with play-by-play and reactions from my more dedicated friends.

Perhaps my lack of enjoyment when it comes to baseball is because I didn’t drink until long after I was 21, and now going to a game and paying $20 for 2 beers just doesn’t seem appealing. I love watching ESPN’s top 10, but I’m not so much into sweating for 3 hours to see a good hit.

I like the MetroLink, though. And I like Busch Stadium. I enjoy the atmosphere, but I just don’t get into the Cards. It’s not because I don’t care for sports, though. I have had many a night ruined by a Tar Heel loss (Heck, we had a whole season of them 2 years ago). 

I love St. Louis. I love the toughness, the rough downtown nights, the dirty parking garages and the people. However, I just can’t find myself caring about baseball. Or football, while we’re at it. 

Maybe if it was a contact sport. XBL, anyone?
