World Series "Champs" Can't Buy A Win
For the second game in a row, the Mets ruined the ceremonial pomp and circumstance of the anemic red birds at Busch Stadium.
First, the World Series banner gets raised: Mets 6, Cards 1
Then, they hand out the World Series Rings: Mets 4, Cards 1
As ESPN points out:
The Cardinals are the first defending World Series winners in 64 years to start a season by losing their first two games and scoring a total of two or fewer runs in those games.Congrats, LaRussa! Hey, can you gin up another celebration for tonight? How about having Fred Bird the Red Bird lead the hometown sell-out crowd in a rendition of the Chicken Dance?
Good luck tonight, Looper!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
UPDATE:
Barry Zito watch:
Seven year contract...$126 million
Option for an eighth year...$18 million
Going only five innings and giving up three runs while getting only two strikeouts in your home opener...
...PRICELESS!
Suck it, Zito!
UPDATE DEUX:
Game Three: Cards LOSE 10-0!!!!! Sweep, baby!!!!!!
It's official. Tony LaRussa is Willie Randolph's bitch. After a couple of Long Island Iced Teas, of course.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He'll do fine...
