My quick take on all of this Reds/Cards/Brewers fan stuff:
I hate the Cardinal way and hated Larussa with the passion of 10,000 burning suns. It's not a mirage that essentially every other team in the division gets pissed at the Cardinals, yet rarely does it with each other.
The Cardinals are winning, everyone else has to grow up.
I was saddened, but not surprised, to see the Brewers fans cheer Braun. (It would have happened everywhere in sports, which makes me even sadder)
I've been to 17 Major League stadiums and numerous other minor league stadiums. (including a Dodgers/Cardinals playoff game in LA last year) The worst experiences I've had with home fans was the LA Dodgers fans. (At the playoff game I saw one guys get into a fight with a cop, and countless others talking smack to Cardinals fans after a game in which the Dodgers lost. It was horrible)
The worst opposing fans I have ever seen were. . . Dodger fans. Opening night this year was a great experience outside of multiple Dodger fans actions. They talked smack when they had a 1-0 lead. then when the Padres took the lead in the 8th they started menacing at people and looking to pick fights. I'm not talking 1 or 2 odd ball fans here. I'm talking about 20 to 30 people in just my line of sight that were either staring people down or yelling threats. (about 7 or the idiots were kicked out of the game)
I've been to many Cardinals, Reds, and Brewers games and never had that problem.
Last note: I am not painting all Dodgers fans to be dirtbags. I'm simply giving examples of my personal experiences. If you are butt hurt or pissed off that I have the audacity to be critical of your team or fan base, I'm not sorry. Everything above is my experience, nothing more, nothing less.
