Batter Up; A World Series for the Ages


Rats off to the boys with the birds on the bat for winning the most unexpectedly entertaining World Series in recent memory. I looked for every excuse to not watch these baseball finals, but the games were simply too awesome to miss. Cards earned it ferrreal y'allz.

More importantly, if you ever find yourself questioning the genius of Nelly, just listen to how he pronounces the word tryin' during this chorus. The very definition of inspired songwriting!

Anyway, I'm well aware that Tony LaRussa often gets a bad wrap for sporting that horrible mushroom cut, being a stern taskmaster in the club house, and always tryin' to suck on Albert PooHoles's hog, but I must give the skipper some credit. In the true spirit of Halloween, LaRussa gave his post-game presser dressed as everybody's favorite mutant Goonie, SLOTH! I suppose the old codger still has a few tricks up his sleeve after all.



Lastly, my heart goes out to tiny Ron Washington. I'm sure we'll get 'em next year little buddy. They say the third time's the charm.
