To answer your question about Cardinals fans- I was fortunate enough to live in Arkansas the one year the Cardinals won the worst world series ever played, and Darren McFadden/Felix Jones ran "hog wild." When every one you spend time around is a Razorback/Cardinal redneck (not calling Cardinal fans rednecks, I'm talking Arkansas in general) you acquire quite a taste of disdain for them. Therefore, I would cheer for the Yankees to beat the Cardinals, and anyone but Florida to beat Arkansas. Not to mention, I am from Memphis and as big V mentioned, quite a few of my friends are (annoying) Cardinal fans.
