Ingredients-Pumpkin Pie
-Real Whip Cream
-Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard
If the gods of Olympus dined on Earth it would by definition need to include Ted Drewe's mixture of pumpkin pie, whip cream, frozen custard and bliss. After many of Saint Louis Cardinals game, a sea of red would descend to the hallowed area in front of the magical concrete (the functional equivalent of a Dairy Queen Blizzard) machine. Few things in this world can equal the joys of eating a Great Pumpkin Concrete after a Cards victory. One of those things is being buried in a hot naked girl avalanche. The other is an exciting Game 7 victory. If one could sum up the Cardinals v. Mets series in one word, it would be redemption. Jeff Suppan a Boston castoff pitched his heart out and won the MVP for the NL side of the playoff bracket (I can already hear Bill Simmons feverishly typing away why Suppan sucks, his stream of concious broken only by bitter curse words of why didn't Suppan pitch this way for the Red Sox). Yadier Molina who had batted somewhere near the Mendoza line delivered several clutch hits during the series including the series winner. The bullpen which had struggled so mightily during the regular season came through. When Carlos "the Card Killer" Beltran
stepped up to the plate with the bases juiced facing a rookie closer you could almost hear the anguished cry that escaped from the lips of the king of Saint Louis, Nelly the First. However the youngster gave Beltran more than he could handle and finished a three pitch at bat with a knee buckling breaking ball. However the redemption really was shared by the entire squad. A team that never fully lived up to its potential, came within a whisker of experiencing one of the greatest collapses in baseball history. That same team somehow turned things around to defy all logic and reason to make it the World Series. Awaiting the Cards is the seemingly unbeatable Detroit Tigers. Also, awaiting the Cards is a date with history as this will be the World Series rubber match between the Tigers and Saint Louis. The Cards won the first series in 1934 while Detroit took the second in classic fashion in 1968. The Cards face an uphill battle but at this point I'm just thrilled about an all-Midwest World Series for the first time since 1987, another pennant up in the new Busch stadium and dreams of eating Ted Drewe's frozen custard before being buried in a hot naked girl avalanche.A few quick cheers and jeers;
Cheers: To Tiki Barber. I'm a huge fan of Tiki and I really do support his decision to retire at the end of the season. Running backs tend to have short shelf lives and if Tiki has stored enough money away then I say please leave the sport before you lose the ability to have a functional life later on. One just needs to watch current videos of Earl Campbell to know its best to leave while your still healthy.
Jeers: To ESPN. ESPN is using is monopolistic position to generate rents via bludgeoning its consumers by only showing the OSU v.
Jeers: Cobra Commander. Kissing Suzy Kolber (apparently my new favorite blog to link to) sums up my feelings of what must have been going through Billick's mind when he canned Jim Fassel
Cheers: To Kitties with Guns. I think the second amendment protects their rights. Also frankly I'm a little scared of them. Especially this one, I think it has shifty eyes and you know that means trouble.....
