1999: I fully convert from being an Atlanta Braves fan (from my S. Carolina roots) to being a Cubs fan. 1999-2002: We suck. The Cards don't. Although they don't do a lot. 2003: Mark Prior hates on the Cardinals after he beats them in a start. Steve Kline responds by publicly hoping he is killed by a line drive off his head. I am pissed. 2004-2005: Cardinals import any and all manner of average to bad players and watch them all have the years of their lives while running away with the division two years in a row. I get bitter. 2005-06 offseason: I join NSBB and meet some classy Cardinals fans, but also hear new stories that give me even more reasons to hate STL. That's pretty much the story.
I've been all over Barrett's bandWGN since Day 1, and it's been a pleasure watching him now into his third season. I hope he's here for a long time coming and I'm sure he does too. :)
I let out a yelp as soon as Barrett touched the ball and then reverted to dog-level audio for the next couple of minutes dancing around the room. For Jacque I just yelled "Go ball, get out!" and pumped my fist. Great for Jacque, it just wasn't as big a homer. :D
There was at least one more where they were interviewing him during the game on WGN. It may have been the same Indiana game, though, now that I think of it.
For the record, I had Furcal, who didn't play, on Friday, then had Mark Ellis, who didn't play, on Saturday. Then Murton went hitless today. So Vladimir Guerrero and Johnny Damon better start mashing. MLB owes me one.
They also have the wind pick up when the opposing team bats. Len can control the weather with his mind. And the clubhouse showers. Don't doubt the powers of da Len.
