Low attendance at Busch Stadium show Cubs faithful are more loyal than Cardinals fans
It turns out St. Louis Cardinals fans only have interest in their team if they're winning. Over the majority of my life, that hasn't been a problem.

Well-traveled catcher Christian Bethancourt thought he had run out of chances. Then the Cubs called
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Christian Bethancourt understands he’s running out of chances. That when you’re 32 and have bounced from team to team and country to country without ever really sticking, at some point the phone is going to stop ringing. So when the Chicago Cubs took a flier on the well-traveled catcher in early July shortly after Miami released him, Bethancourt accepted his Triple-A assignment with a smile. The early returns weren’t promising. Bethancourt was hitting .192 at Iowa when the Cubs recalled him on July 26 following an injury to backup Tomás Nido. Knowing he would be playing only once every few days — a departure from last season, when he appeared in 104 games for Tampa Bay — Bethancourt poured himself into his work. More time in the cage. More time working on pitch framing.
