Living in the Bay Area as a Cardinals fan
Posted: October 17 14, 9:15 am
I've been living in the Bay Area since 2000 and am getting really tired of losing to the Giants in the NLCS (2002, 2012, 2014). I have many good friends and co-workers who are true fans of both baseball and the Giants and we have friendly discussions after any series, but what I can't stand are all the bandwagon fans that will emerge today, embrace/worship all the Giants' "scrappy" players, then forget about baseball once the season is over. Does anyone else here live in the Bay Area and have to suffer through this for what seems like year after year? Someone else said it perfectly on last night's GDT: the Giants are a good team and know how to manufacture runs, but it's REALLY frustrating to see how much luck they somehow garner whenever they're in the postseason, and their opposing teams in the playoffs not play to their potential and make them somehow look like the 1927 Yankees every freaking series. As such, I hope they get crushed by the Royals so these bandwagon fans can experience real October heartbreak for once. Maybe that's petty but I just don't care this morning.
Next time we play the Giants (or As) in the postseason I call for a "Bay Area Cards Fan Support Group!" I'll organize the meeting place and buy the first round of beers.
