Classless in St. Louis

Believe it or not I am beginning to hate the St. Louis Cardinals almost as much as the Chicago Cubs. At least when the Brewers play the Cubs they have some class (their fans don't, but that's another story). It all started last year when the Cardinals pitchers repeatedly hit Brewer batters. Caught up in the heat of the moment, and wanting to defend his players, Brewers manager Ned Yost returned some of that fire had Seth McClung plunk Albert Pujols. Fast forward to this year, the Brewers are completely manhandling the Cardinals. We finished the season series at 10-5. Also, if the season ended today the Brewers would win the wild card race, and the Cardinals would be on the outside looking in and sitting on their couches during the playoffs. The Cardinals said they have had a problem withe Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder "watching" home runs. Albert Pujols does the same exact thing, is it wrong when he does it? The Cardinals have a problem with the Brewers untucking their jerseys after a win. Seriously? The Brewers do this for team unity and it started out with Mike Cameron doing it as a tribute to his working class dad who would come home after a hard days work and untuck his shirt and relax. Here is an idea if you have a problem with the Brewers untucking their shirts after a win, beat them. I think the problem is they have watched the Brewers untuck their shirts twice as much as not watching them untuck their shirts. I found it interesting that during Wednesday's game Adam Wainwright had pinpoint control all night and did not walk a batter, but one pitch happened to get away from him, and it happened to hit Ryan Braun right in the ribs. Ryan Braun showed class and took his base. He did not charge the mound, and the Brewers did not retaliate. There were also Cardinal players throwing batting helmets on the ground after making outs. Not too classy. Then at the end of the night, when the Cardinals finally won, you would have thought they just clinched a playoff spot they way they were celebrating. Don't get me wrong, I am all for celebrating after a win, but don't call someone out for doing it then do it yourself. The Cardinals, a far more veteran team than the Brewers, have a lot of growing up to do. Stay classy St. Louis.
