4. You know this gets you
Sure, you can pretend to be blase... but this bugs you.

I can wake you in October when the Cards CHOKE again, and again, and again.

They are like the Bills, but less exciting.

Ninety-eight years.

At least the Cardinals have won something in my lifetime.

7. That's ok
Since the Dodgers won in 1981 and 1988, they have TWO in my lifetime. :P

20. Garvey was always a prick
I doubt if you'll find ANY Dodger fan who would defend him. And that goes back to when he actually played.

Proof we're more intellectually honest than Giants fans. They should have kicked Bonds off the team by now.

38. Believe me, we have never been happy with the dome
The Metropolitan Council handed everyone quite a terrible deal there.

But the Twins did win two World Series' there. :P

42. If baseball was a meritocracy, the Cards would have had home field
in 1987. But...that's the way it goes. At least it wasn't outright theft like in 1985.

46. You shoulda seen my house...
I think that we might have moved over the property line. And I got to 'happy dance' in front of my son TWICE tonight. First when Jones hit his, and then....

I'm STILL giddy.

49. It's been five years
Since the Cubs have swept 'em. I'd have to go look up the numbers to be exact (and, seeing how it's late and I'm lazy....), but I think that overall, it's pretty even. Cubs might be up a few games, but not a whole lot.

Plus, LaRussa's such a...well...it just makes it that much sweeter.

50. La Russa's such an...
idiot is the word I think you're missing there.

His policy of "Challenging & never walking any hitter" has been disastrous. Who in their right mind would pitch to Derrick Lee or Michael Barrett given their track record against the Cards?

51. "Idiot" is a kinder, gentler form of the word I was thinking
Twelve straight pitches that couldn't find the strike zone with a map. And eight of 'em from Isringhausen...

Heh...he didn't use Looper 'cause he's been out of whack.

I love it.
