(Get) A Sporting Life

Really, I did : You know how I know STL is a baseball town? Last night at the gym, as many as 20-25 people let out a simultaneous yell when the Dodgers took the lead on a grand slam against the losers. Sorry Jayson Stark. So sad Rick Reilly. You’re rah-rah this is the year bullshit yesterday looks a bit more asinine today. God, I really do hate the Cubs. And so do many of you. As I said to my wife the night the Dodgers swept the Cubs, "There is only one thing better then watching the Cardinals win a postseason series, and that is watching the Cubs lose one." Now, if the Angels can come back to beat the Red Sox in five I'll almost be happy.

Something else to ponder while you are wondering how any just and loving God could allow the Boston Red Sox to be the winningest team of the new millennium: The guys at Fark.com had this take on college football: “Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, and human sacrifice: Missouri and Kansas ranked in the AP top 10. MASS HYSTERIA.” Something is SERIOUSLY wrong here.
