At least you gave it the old college try, Rat. It’s not often where Rat falls asleep with Barnaby waiting in the wings. Too bad that old show wasn’t filmed in St. Louis…..”The Streets of St. Louis” does have a ring to it. We could have had Karl and Michael chasing bad guys up in the ARC, down the roaring Mississippi….even up in Ballpark Village.
I bet Mrs. Piscotty was a grand lady. When they go younger than they should, they seem to be predominantly real fine individuals. What happens after we die? I have a real good hunch that it’s something completely unexpected….hopefully in a good way.
Great finish indeed! I was proud as a peacock to be counted as one of the last two posters standing at last night’s thrilling conclusion…… the esteemed BlackHills being the other hardy soul. Due to our grit and stamina, I now find it a near impossibility that either BlackHills or myself will ever be referred to as a wimp on this site ever again. Lost in all of the hoopla surrounding Fowler’s 14th inning heroics, were 3 very special fans in attendance that ESPN kept panning to during extra inning play. All 3 were graced with huge 10 gallon sombrero’s atop their heads with beer in hand. Every time they realized that the cameras were zeroing in on them, they would quickly rise to their feet and give these animated bows while waving their sombrero all about. Of the 3, the one who I found particularily amusing was the pudgy one decked out in a LA Lakers jersey. You just CANNOT teach this stuff….either you have it or you don’t, and this character certainly had that “it” factor. Watching these 3 parade around in extra innings was absolutely priceless. Where else could you get so many visions while taking in a game at Busch? For me it was the great Cards-cubs rivalry at it’s finest, coupled with clips from that old Steve Martin “Three Amigos” movie and Shaq executing a reverse slam dunk all rolled into one….thanks to those fun fans. So for me there was not just one lone hero last evening…..but 4.
The good thing about being at the ballpark at this late hour would be the improved odds of snagging yourself a foul ball. My strategy would be to stay awake, lay off the beer and stay away from as many other fans as possible. The only problem is that these hitters aren’t even hitting many foul balls…the offenses have been that lame….or is it the case of stellar relieving….probably somewhere in between the two.
Totally, BlackHills. At this pace, we could be here until breakfast. They used to stop games around 2am. Do they still do that?
Oh oh….feeling the heat now as Heyward and Zobrist rap consecutive singles to right with 2 outs….not cheapies either.
Knock on wood, but our relievers have been fantastic tonight! They are causing me no stress whatsoever…. base runners = stress. No base runners = no stress. Keep it going gang!
Look at all of the sleeping fans! Ushers should be able to usher out any and all fans who are kopping zzz’s. I don’t care if they are 4 years old…give em the boot.
Ha ha!! That’s now the third time theyve zeroed in on the cRaZy Lakers fan….this time extending sombrero bows with his pals. We win this one and he gets the game ball in my book…but God knows what he’ll do with it.
Sweet! That pudgy fan with the Lakers jersey and sombrero was absolutely priceless! If you were sitting anywhere near the dude, you’d have to buy him a brewski or two.
Ouch that hurt! With the momentum now shifted to them, coupled with our depleted bench, how in blazes can we possibly win this game????
Jeter saying that hard grounder to Bryant was an “impossible play” was pure poppycock. Difficult play yes….impossible play…no way.
