Im a Cardinal fan, and read vivaelbirdos a lot, and have got into royalsreview bc I think royalsreview's posts are funny and being from Missouri, I like the Royals as much as any other AL team.  Anyway, 2 questions:

1)  Why is Scott Elarton "self appointed team inspector" or whatever you all call him?

and more importantly

2)  Whenever I watch Cards v Royals in KC, the announcers always talk about how there are as many, if not more, Cards fans at the ballpark.  Are there really as many Cardinal fans in KC as Royals fans, or do the Cards fans just tend to make the drive over from StL for the interleague games?
