In this town, not all teams are created equal.

Hi! My name is Connor Zielonko and I love St. Louis sports. (at least for the time being). You see, I am so incredibly fed up with sports coverage in this city. My favorite sports team in this town gets no credit. The Blues. This season the blues have battled through countless injuries and are in the thick of the playoff hunt with three games to go. Yet, when I pick up a paper all I seem to read about is spring training. REALLY!?!?!? Is spring training necessary? Yes. Is it over-hyped? Yes. In fact, so are all preseasons..but I digress.
Let me tell you something about the Cardinals. They take advantage of the un-deserved, constant praise that they are given. As I'm sure most of you know they had an incredible and improbable run to a world series championship in 2006. But let me ask you this, what have they done since!? Besides, A.) Passing on perenial all-star Matt Holliday, B.) Watch their reliever situation go from bad to worse, C.) Build Ball Park Village! Oh...wait..
So now let's take a look at the Blues. Excellent entry drafts in the last few years have provided them with exciting, young talent that SHOULD be the talk of the town. Currently the Blues are tied for a playoff spot. Very exciting stuff. But all this town is focused on is the Cardinals soon to be futile attempt to make the postseason this year. Another round of Kool-Aid for St. Louis please!

Opening Day on Monday..whoopee

Go Blues...
