​The St. Louis faithful weren't looking all that faithful as the ​Cardinals (3-4) took on the ​Diamondbacks (6-1) Thursday night in St. Louis. Down two runs, the Redbirds had their side retired at the bottom of the eighth, and I guess fans had seen enough, because they began pouring out of the stadium en masse.





The ever-vigilant Bob Costas, who was calling the game, let Cards fans have it for abandoning their team late in the game when things were anything but out of reach:

​​That ones got to sting.





Costas isn't wrong, though. Down two runs in the bottom of the ninth with nobody out isn't exactly insurmountable. In fact, that is precisely the type of scenario that makes baseball exciting. How could they expect their team to win if they are not cheering them on in the bottom of the ninth? They were in feasible walk-off territory.





"After all, it is a school night...gotta pay the babysitter...beat the traffic on highway 40..."





Never change, Bob.





As for the Cardinals fans, they may want to make a few changes on their end.
