Matt Cooke is on your team. Steve Ott talks. Matt Cooke ends careers

As a Blues fan, I’m confused by your statement. The Wild simply outplayed the Blues. The Blues are not an overly physical team these days. If you’re worried about Steve Ott doing what Steve Ott does and Backes taking bad penalties... I’m not sure that’s “beating people up”. Ryan Reaves and Robert Bortuzzo being the…

A horse, of course.

Still not as bad as the Abdelkater broken stick goal from last week.

They're really taking that, "Wait 'til next year" thing to a whole new level.

I cried.

Not bad for a softball pitcher.

I think that's actually Darlene from Roseanne.

He's shitting himself. Anyone who has been in the men's room at Wrigley understands.

BFIB

It's not so much me as it is Roenick. He's good.

That's not kosher.

Maybe it was a discussion about Roy Rogers and he meant that John Denver doesn't deserve a franchise?

Thats what he gets for talking such shit on Lucroy!

Hand ball!

and here his is with Erik Johnson from several years ago...

Read it again. He was downplaying the Cardinal way. Oddly enough, this whole thing is an example of the Cardinal Way being blown out of proportion. I guarantee the manager of whatever team you like would have reacted similarly, but since it came from a Cardinal, you guys are pouncing.

Oh lord. The BFIB thing is the same thing as the uppity Cardinals thing. They go hand in hand. He defended his team. He's the manager of the team. I'm pretty sure that's what they do in press conferences. You can keep stressing about it if you like. Have a good night.

The BFIB thing is 50% the BFIBers being annoying BFIBers and 50% people like you taking offense to crap that any other organization would say. I live in St. Louis. I understand the annoyance. I really do... but if you're calling someone a douche over that qoute, you might want to get some perspective.

I'm not defending the BFIB crowd. Yes. I am a Cardinal fan, but I'm merely speaking to what Matheny said. It was a generic response to a question that everyone knew would be asked. Not really much to get excited about.
