Rant: Michael Phelps Mom

[JL21]

I deserve some credit for not cheering out loud like the people in the other room.

This is true.

And so is this:

Oh, you can go ahead and call me out by name. If you get your jollies by watching one of the Earnhardt look-a-likes trot in from the bullpen to close it out against the Marlins, so be it. You'll see it quite a few more times in the coming weeks. Wellemeyer's hair ain't that purdy. They could stand to add a few more TV's in that main bar area. I deserve some credit for not cheering out loud like the people in the other room.

The game wasn't that close, Welly was dealing, Cards would have won...I was there too...turn the Olympics on!

If looking at junk in spandex and not rooting for a 3rd place team who can't stay healthy is wrong...then baby, I don't want to be right.

I only give up baseball for two events: Olympics and World Cup Soccer.

Let's not forget Miles, Ludwick, Duncan, Flores, Loshe, Pineiro...

...my God we have a lot of NASCAR fans on this team

After four months, I'd think that you [expletive] would've figured out by now that the 8th and 9th innings are the most exciting innings in Cardinal games.

Frustrating.

Watching the 8th and 9th innings is like watching an action movie, a soul-crushing drama, and an underdog story all in a matter of 30 minutes. There are explosions, tears, and the obligatory "I can't believe __________ just drove in the winning run for the other team/I can't believe _________ managed to hang onto the lead this time." Every single night.

The problem is our bullpen has been like a Michael Bay movie...blowing [expletive] up nightly

They are exciting. I've come to enjoy them, I routinely call my son down to watch the last two innings with a joyful "Hey kiddo, I'm going to get on the roller coaster tonight, wanna' join me?".

Once you learn to accept them, they are pretty fun actually.

Why does JL hate Michigan?
