Cards Suck!
To my friends who live or are from St. Louis, sorry...
Okay, this blog is probably a few days late, but who cares. I have been really busy. So busy that yesterday I thought it was Monday. And I had to be corrected twice.
Anyway, I'm not an avid sports fan like someone, say Amber, but I enjoy sports in general and will support my home team, or some team dear to me. But I hate any team from St. Louis. I know exactly why, but it's not something I should share. =) Evil me...
So you can only imagine the thrill and excitement I had when I found out that the Cubs have swept the Cards here in Chicago. (Thu 7/27: 5-4 /~/ Fri 7/28: 6-5 /~/ Sat 7/29: 4-2 /~/ Sun 7/30: 6-3) {I love this headline from The Telegraph (Alton, IL): Cardinals' colossal collapse in Chicago defies logic.} After visiting the Taste of Lincoln Avenue, I walked back to the Addison station with Amy and Erin. When I got on the platform, after just missing my train by a minute or so, I saw this sight that made me chuckle.
You know sweeping the Cards calls for a celebration, a big one nonetheless, and it kicks ass to know that someone did just that! And it's even funnier to see that his buddies played a cruel prank on him, or that they themselves had over-celebrated as well. In either case, the post-celebration sight with a bag of long-cold burrito lying next to him was just priceless:

Yes, that was a bright moment in this god-awful season. Too bad their was barely time to celebrate before they traded Maddux. So sad.

John o John o John....I should kick your ass...:)
The Cardinals don't suck.
And what's so great about that picture...I can't see anything but a blurry man laying on a bench with a brown paper bag....
