Oh my god that was HILARIOUS!

Guide to being a fan of St. Louis sports:

1. Complain about ESPN and the national media's preoccupation with offering programming that people will actually watch.

2. Stop following professional football entirely.

3. N-B-A? What's that?

4. Ignore the similarities between "my trainers gave it to me, I thought it would help me with my three knee surgeries, I was going through a lot with my dad dying" and "my doctor (who I never met) prescribed it for me, I thought it would help with my rehab, I had a lot going on what with the trainwreck of a career and all."

5. Helplessly, hopelessly resent the entire city of a team that beat you, despite the fact that you've never been there, and resent that organization forevermore

I can't seem to find an eye roll icon, so I'm just going to type, eye roll icon

I hope your Red Sox do well in the series.

Great addition to the thread, BTW.

Troll.

yeah, I really disrupted the scholarly discourse.

I can say with complete honesty that your post added much more to the spirit and high standards of this particular thread than mine did.

I'm sure you're posting somewhat in jest, but -

4. I still don't know who these people are with the double standard you're talking about. And nobody I know of denied Ankiel did HGH.

5. - I'm not sure what's wrong with that. I'm supposed to be happy for the Red Sox? Screw that. This is entirely the same basis for everyone's Yankee hatred which is perfectly acceptable in baseball circles. Yes, I should be more angry at Jim Edmonds and Scott Rolen and Reggie Sanders. But those are my guys. It's no less rational for me to hate one team than it is for me to love another.

I'm also not sure what having been or not been to Boston has to do with anything. I like New York, I don't like the Yankees.
