Cardinals/Royals
Last night we took in our first of 2 Royals games this year and saw them play their arch-rivals(?) the Cardinals. I question the rivalry because when living in the STL I never heard much about the Royals, but here it seems to be a bigger deal.
The game had everything, including a 5-0 deficit turned Cardinals victory, a Pujols home run, and a streaker in boxers getting tackled on the field by security. One highlight, though, was a skit put on between innings where a "crazy Cardinals fan" stole the Royals' 1985 World Series banner and ran around on the field with it until being tackled by Sluggerrr (no, I didn't just add those extra r's, that's really how it's spelled), the Royals' mascot.
It seems rather silly that Royals fans cling to that victory, and there were even chants of "19-85" in the same manner as Yankees fans used to razz Sox fans with "19-18" until their team pulled off the biggest choke job in major league history and blew a 3-0 lead in the ALCS. I know plenty of Cardinals fans, and I don't know a single one who is jealous of Royals fans for their team's successes.

Do you wonder if maybe the Royals should adopt The King from Burger King as their mascot? He's so much cooler than a lion with no mane and a crown-shaped head.
