Hahahahah, same here! This may be a part of why Cardinal fans now disgust me for no good reason.

He did it so effectively, Josh, that I couldn't look at Spiezio all weekend without blushing.

Whatever it takes in wartime, Jersey Jack.
I admit that my hatred of the Cardinals and their fans is… oh… maybe five days old.
Plus Jason pioneered the Spezio-beard/dirty parts thing, even if he did it in a far more tasteful and less hateful way.

Pubic hair on their face?? Yikes— that's a bit harsh, no??

I'm with the Card-haters. They're supposed to be the “best fans in baseball” because they're so damned polite — and politeness smacks of lack of conviction to me. They're all into it for the first two innings, then if they don't score they sit quietly waiting for something to happen. Then if something DOES happen, they go into mechanical “celebrations” regardless of whether that thing actually has anything to do with winning (like a solo HR down 12-4).
Everybody gets Green Bay-style palpitations at the holiness of Cardinal fandom because we gloriously demanding and cynical urbanites secretly wish we were authentic docile midwesterners.
Anybody can wear a red shirt and pubic hair on their face!

Geez, lighten up! Not all fans treat their team with vitriolic hatred just because theyre not winning. Some fans–wait for it–actually support their team even when they're not winning. Can you imagine?!
I thought the Spiezio strips were cute. The Twins gave out similar Joe Mauer sideburns this summer. Go figure, some fans actually enjoy baseball enough to have a little fun, win or lose. And you haven't lived until you've seen an infant wearing bushy sideburns.

Oh my GOD, I'm glad someone reminded me of that! Are they for real??!! I was stunned.
Not to be too big-city chauvinistic, but Cardinal fans are dopey. Dancing a hoe-down (sp?) while your team is pummeled is bad, those strips of red tape on their chins are worse. Maybe we should honor our utility players… we can buy bald wigs and fix our ears so they stick straight out trophy-cup style like Woodward. And if Lasto makes the WS roster, do-rags for everyone!

Did anyone see the birdies' fans dancing in the stand while their team is losing 12-5? And those are supposed to be the best fans in baseball? Why, because they all wear red?? We're supposed to be bad fans because we do cheer for mediocrity?? And they stole our “Everybody clap your hands!!” good luck song!!! Mid-west bastards!!!

Joel, you're dissing Endy, My Endy… my heart is in pieces, scattered at my feet.
Endy is perfect.
