Ding! Ding! Ding!
I mean this, because I don't know a lot about the site: as an honor, or as an affront?
Will Leitch started Deadspin. He's from Matoon and is a diehard Cardinals fan. He was also a midwesterner among east coast guys at Deadspin. They used to chide him when he was still involved and the anti-Cardinal stuff continued after he left to do his own thing.

It's a tweak-of-the-nose thing between friends, I think.
Exactly

Yeah, apparently no one has checked out Waino's GIF library.

After reading that Deadspin piece and Nightengale's, I'm left wondering what the editors at both places were thinking.

You expect these guys to all drive a Ford Taurus to work, buy flannel shirts and jeans off the rack at Walmart, and eat spaghetti and meatballs every night at Olive Garden.

"We are boring,'' Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak says.
Awesome. Makes me want to go to a game.

And it's hard for me to believe Mo actually said this in the Nightengale piece:
"As a GM, we made exploratory calls,'' Mozeliak says, "but ultimately, we didn't feel like making that type of splash. But yeah, you still make the calls.

"If you don't fish, you don't catch, bro.''
Now whenever I read a Mozeliak quote, I'm going to imagine him saying "bro" at the end.

The Cards are so boring they don't even have a football coach as their first base coach.

You know, I'd never actually seen a picture of Drew Magary before. So, here's a gif of the guy who leads the online Cardinals hate brigade.

My God what a douchebag.

That is the face of someone who needs to be punched. A lot.
