Check my location. (The Astros just lost to the Cards.) ---

Thank you! Roger will be pitching tomorrow. So we have a better chance. Astros and Bosox in the World Series, bay-bee! ---

Jeff Kent can bite my ass. I’m not so much rooting for the Cards, as I am against the Astros. I felt the same about the Boston in that I was rooting against NY more than for Boston, but they’ve given baseball one of the most amazing postseason series we’ll ever see, so they’ve earned my support outright. ---

> [@Dolores Reborn](#): > > What’s your prob with Kent? Every time the Astros come to town, he goes on the radio and runs his mouth, insulting the residents of the Bay Area. A fine way to repay the fans who cheered him even when he was an asshole playing for us. Fuck 'im. ---

> [@Dolores Reborn](#): > > Oh well, you won’t hear from him until next year… But you’ll hear from him plenty. He has a way of completely alienating himself from his fans. Wait and see. And thanks for jinxing your team by using Cardinal red in your other post. 😉 ---

The other series is to determine who the Yankees must whip for the World Series. A minor matter, of no real consequence, you see. 😉 ---

Go Cards. Not so much because I follow baseball, but because I live in St. Louis, and my Dad’s been a fan since he was a boy living in Arkansas, and the Cards winning makes him happy. Go Cards. ---

Fuck the Cardinals. Not only am I a 'Stros fan, having grown up in Houston, but Dad has season tickets and I was angling for World Series seats. St. Louis hath deprived me. Again: Fuck the Cardinals. ---

Now now, both teams played a great series, and both teams should be proud. But the Cards still won. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sumbitch/270309.md?page=2)
