Hello, my name is Shawn. This is where I put things. This site has been active since 2002. A lot has changed since then but basically I'm still writing ridiculous articles about ridiculous things. You can also look at my I figure I should get this out now before it’s too late. I’m rooting for the Cardinals. In fact, I’ve been rooting for them. That’s right. I was rooting against the Mets. Even after being somewhat thankful that there was a New York baseball team not named the Yankees I could get behind and feel good about.
Problem is I could never get behind the Mets. Maybe it was the orange and blue color-scheme or the mercenary-style line-up. It just never felt right.
The decision happened when I was recently watching the 2004 Red Sox Championship DVD. The Cardinals had absolutely no chance in that Series. They were steamrolled by 86 years of history. You could see it on their faces, the Cardinals had no idea what hit them. So, I vowed I would root for them until they won their own World Series. It only seemed fair. It was the price we paid as Sox fans.
Now this might seem like front-running given that they just won game 1 of the World Series (the first National League World Series game victory since 2003). But this was a long time coming.
Besides, the Cardinals are still solid underdogs and there’s something about the underdog I just can’t resist.
