There's no doubt some underlying tension that coastal writers have with "midwestern values" (as those writers think they understand them to be) - dowdiness, earnestness, homophobia, cultural shallowness - that drives an unspoken agenda to subtley put down anything in flyover country. That's not to excuse such bias,…

Whatever gets page views gets money. They found this kind of trolling works. So it goes.

If your disingenuous goal is to increase page views to raise ad revenue, you attack an entire fanbase, not the shitty sportswriter who actually wrote the dumb thing. That's how the game is played today.

Strauss doesn't even know if he believes the shit he writes anymore. Whatever his intent, it deserves scorn. Thanks for your concern about my mental abilities, that's cute.

You've never had real brisket. I feel sorry for you.

Joe Strauss is a primary reason Fire Joe Morgan needs to be brought back permanently.

Are my eyes bleeding, or are my ears bleeding? Both. I am having a full head hemorrhage now. Thanks, I once was a Cardinals fan, but now I know that there is no God.

Many (but not all) of these guys were the product of Jeff Luhnow's draft skillz, who is now GM in Houston. Don't be surprised when the Astros are mighty good in 2015.

//Says stupid thing, is vindicated when others point out thing is stupid.

Are you this insufferable in real life?

Is this really a question? Same place you find the time to type a string meaningless questions to a person you don't know that nobody will read.

I like to point out self-serving stupidity where I see it, just like Deadspin used to do.

...said no Cardinals fan in the history of ever, because strawman.

Not particularly.

Being a bunch of cunts is not a good thing. I miss the old Deadspin, the one that had a point other than trolling for page views.

You're just full of shit trolling now. Kudos to you, Deadspin. You're sub-TMZ now.

Only 15 more posts bitching about the Cardinals in hopes of page views can tell us the answer.

Do you expect anyone to read this shit?

Third highest postseason OPS in baseball history. I'd suggest he knows how to play the game just fine.

People like you are the only ones making that claim. It's a splendid strawman, but nothing more.
