Awesome, I get a Blues calendar this year.

ANYTHING to be able to get rid of the Cardinals calendar I have, so I can maybe light that one on fire or something. Fucking yeesh.

St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.

Tell me about it...

I feel sorry for Westbrook… he’s made what, a half-dozen starts for the Cardinals since they got him, and they’ve scored like five runs total in those games. No goddamn run support at all.

Then they score ten runs with Carpenter pitching... and STILL friggin' lose...

I think the most runs he's given up is something like 4 over 5 innings.

Maybe it'll excorcise the demons.

It’s killing me to watch them, and that’s sad – they’re my filler before hockey season, and this is driving me nuts.

I’m a recently moved-from-DC-to-St Louis guy. It’s going to be hard for me to cheer for Halak, that’s for sure! I’ve been a Caps fan since birth, but believe that you should root for your home team (unless that home team is the Wizards in basketball!).

Welcome aboard

I’m in Baltimore and I’m the reverse, I’m a huge Blues fan, but grew up in an area where the Caps are big, so they would be my 2nd team to root for…unless it’s March 3rd, then I’m Bringing the Blue when others are Rocking the Red. (Hopefully I’ll be there in person)

welcome to the zoo

it’s ok to cheer for both teams, you’ll have to decide which on the day they meet but other than that you’ll be good until the Cup (and what are the odds of these 2 teams meeting up then??).

Enjoy your time here. You’ll get lots of cussing, lots of information and at times some heated discussions.

Not to mention

The kind of jackassery that only dedicate Blues fans can provide. Enjoy.

Over under on how many games until ‘Holy Jumpin’ gets annoying because of Halak??
20min

Look I'm sure youre a nice person and everything but that Redwings jersey you're wearing makes me want to cave your face in with my fist...it's not you it's me and the fact that you're a fucking Redwings fan

this could be true

since we’ve had one lackluster season since panger boarded the ship, maybe we haven’t had as many holy jumpins as we should have. it COULD get annoying if we ever get good.
