Redbird Nation Joins the Idiots


Its always nice to see a Cardinal fan try and take the high and mighty route when they are getting their asses handed to them day in and day out. And i am sure it really must hurt to be a Cardinal fan and know that it was the Chicago Cubs that put the nail in the Cards season, as they have pretty much given up. How sad and pathetic is that?

The Cubs and Astros are gonna play 162 games. The Cardinals decided to pack in after 140. What a bunch of little babies down their in St. Louis. Something doesnt go their way and they just up and give up. I mean where was the outrage when Matt Morris was hoping that the Astro's would win??? The Cardinals OWN stupid pitcher, full well knowing that he still had a start against them saying he would rather they win. And guess what? Matt Morris goes out and loses 8-1. I know i have no proof that he threw the game, but i am pretty sure he really didnt care or try his best. After all they had already packed in the season anyways.

So along comes Mark Prior's comments,

"I dislike the Cardinals so much that I will not even root for them. I hope actually that Houston beats their brains in and just sends them all the way back to whoever is in fourth place now." -- Mark Prior

And then Redbird Nation with his snooty little comment,

In other words, his vindictiveness is more important than the Cubs actually winning a pennant. Smart guy, that Prior. Well, he's getting his wish so far -- the Astros beat the Cardinals brains in tonight (although we're still 6 1/2 ahead of Pittsburgh in the race for third place) and the Cubs are a half game further back in the wild card.

It's actually quite hilarious if you think about it. The Cubs finally get a competitive team after all these years, and they're still, at heart, a bunch of losers.


Its even more hilarious to hear this from a fan of a team who cant even finish out the season without giving up. The only bunch of losers right now are the ones getting their brains beat in by Houston. If your not gonna even try, what should Houston do? Not play? Mark Prior is right, beat their brains in and humilate that pathetic team of all-stars. Its not like the Cardinals are gonna fight back. For once the Dead Birds motto rings true.

UPDATE: You know what i am just gonna come out and say it. Matt Morris threw the game. After his comments and pitching line. Its pretty damning evidence he intentionally threw the game out of complete spite.

I dont care who you are or if your team is in last place. You dont EVER intentionally try and throw a game to try and screw someone else ever. And you ESPECIALLY dont comment on it before that said incident.

Some WhiteSox players got banned from baseball for intentionally throwing games. I am not saying Morris is on that level but its pretty bad. If Morris kept his mouth shut we could of chalked it up to just being a bad game. But Morris let us in on his thoughts and motivations. He opened the door.
