Cardinals fans vs. Ferguson protesters

That is very true. Show Me, indeed.

 

Count me in with the toasted ravioli fans.

 

I went, and graduated. How many people in Missouri can say that?

 

So, just to clarify, is this an anti-St. Louis thread or an all-purpose anti-Missouri thread?

 

Possibly the most racist fan base in MLB.

 

Toasted ravioli ... meh.

 

It's clearly a tribute to the best racist fan base in America.

But once you get east of Independence...

 

Far be it from me to criticize St. Louis fans for the simple reason that I fear protesters in virtually any city in America would have been greeted with the same reaction if a Ferguson had happened in their orb. I don't know St. Louis at all, having been there only once, but take the narrative to KC or Baltimore and I suspect you'd find apologists for the cop in certain corners of those places as well.

 

What did Paul Quantrill ever do to anyone other than being a soft-spoken Canadian transplant who spent his HS years in my hometown? He wasn't really good enough to start or close in the majors, but he was a pretty solid setup guy for a few years there. It's not like he engaged in ambush tactics during the Civil War or anything...
