I definitely agree with this...over the last 10 years or so (prior to this season) I would much rather be a Cardinal or A's fan than, say, a Marlin fan. The Marlins got a couple of championships but other than that have done a lot of losing. The Cardinals & A's are always there late in the year and at least have a chance, even if prior to this season neither had come out on top.
