Going to see the Jays vs. Athletics on Saturday. Booya. Every day Heyward realizes the vomit-inducing shitpile he escaped from: It's impossible for a fanbase to suck as much as the Cardinals do. They could write the Yankees a clinic on how to act like assholes.
From a St. Louis TV station: http://fox2now.com/2016/04/19/jason...racist-taunts-in-busch-stadium-return-report/
The vitrol towards Heyward is just a MAGNIFICENT summation of the shithead nature of Cardinals fans. He was traded to STL and only played there a year. The first chance he got, his first chance to choose his team as a free agent in his career, he chose to go to a young fun team with championship aspirations. He had no loyalty or ties to the Cardinals in any way, outside of them putting together the best package for the Braves during last years offseason. Its like fucking someone way out of your league because you are both stranded on a desert island and when a cruise ship rescues you, flipping the fuck out cause they choose to bang hot singles on the boat instead of your hipster ass in a fedora. And anyone who has been to St Louis would not be surprised at all about racism flowing freely.
I saw footage of Cardinals fans during the Ferguson crisis. You don't even have to go there to know they steal our oxygen. The factual "Worst City In America" lives up to its name every chance it gets. The fact they call single-season player Heyward a "nigger-traitor" yet at the SAME TIME endlessly champion the drunk-driving fuckhead who killed his girlfriend... That's all anyone needs to know right there.
Wow, I had no idea that Cardinals fans were such douchebags. As a Yankees fan, I know that I am better than you, and my team will always be better than yours. But at least I have a multi racial superiority complex.
Then I guess it does not bother you that the Athletics just beat your better team 3-2 at Yankee Stadium.
They're the worst. Jason Heyward has none done anything other than be classy, best I can tell, and he certainly was that way while in Atlanta. Booing him with such vitriol tells me everything I need to know about Cardinal fans. The Braves' fans are the most polite in the world. It's like being at the Masters. Their boos have been reserved for the occasional Met*, Bryce Harper and that retard umpire Sam Holbrook. When Mark Wohlers had the yips and was throwing fastballs into the radio booth, he still got sympathy applause. * My seats are on the third baseline. One year, when the Braves were whomping the Mets in the NLCS (1999?), Ricky Henderson was playing left field for them. I can't remember what stupid things he had said leading up to that, but he was getting booed like crazy. He had a ragged out noodle arm, and the Braves took advantage of it. I remember one inning, after the third out, he comes trotting to the dugout and got about level with me, a smattering of boos and murmur during the inning change over, and I hollered "RICKY! HA HA, YOU SUCK!" Normally, that would've just evaporated into the noise of the night, but it was one of those sound lulls right when I screamed, and that was the only sound right then. He totally heard me, of course, because he was about 15 feet away. He just stopped jogging and turned and looked right at me and my buddies. For about 1/2 a second, I thought he was going to come over. He just stared at me, looking like that Indian in the 1970s commercial that was sad about littering, and then trotted on to the dugout. Good times.

Could StL be any more petty? "The Cubs have adopted the simple mantra "Try Not To Suck" for this season, however shirts emblazoned with the words were banned this week at the Cardinals' Busch Stadium as the two teams played their first of six series against each other this year." http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/1...hirts-banned-st-louis-cardinals-busch-stadium
Ian Desmond is waking up. Rougie is a goddamn terror. Even when it's bad I love baseball. When it's good? Best day ever.
So Arrieta threw another no hitter last night. Ho-hum. He's won his last 17 regular season starts. His last loss was when the Cubs were no hit themselves on July 25th of last year, since then he's thrown 2 no hitters. Unreal. He's like a kid that found out the cheat code.
