Admittedly, that "Cardinal Way" comment painted a ****ing portrait of how self absorbed folks can be when it comes to their team's success.
Cardinal way? Is that drafting one of the top five players of the generation in 470th round (and then heckling folks to the West because "we took him from under your nose, how'd you miss him?). Or playing in a division that you can't possibly lose?
In my life, I've had many, many great experiences in STL. My mom spent her formative years there and worked at Sportsmen's Park as a teen. I spent a lot of summer evenings as a boy visiting relatives in STL and going to games in old Busch Stadium (when they were terrible) and learning what a historically great franchise the Cards had, while my hometown franchise was just getting off the ground.
So, I didn't always dislike the Cards or their fans. But every so often... Yea that dislike creeps back in like a flu bug.
