Goodbye Winter, Hello Baseball

Au revoir you sorry excuse for cold weather. I'm ready to start my baseball season again. Even while snow covered the St. Louis grounds for the first day of Spring, I was busy basking in the glow of my happiness, for Spring means baseball has arrived. At long last.

Needless to say, last season did not exactly end the way I had hoped. Still, the Cardinals were in contention and that's almost all I can ask for. (A World Series wouldn't hurt, though)

I don't know how I managed to survive the long and arduous offseason, especially the sorry way the Rams and Blues played. I guess I kept myself happy with Pujols finally winning the MVP (mooohooohahaa...)and Carpenter winning the Cy Young (....hahamoohoohahahaa). Take that haters.

I missed baseball so much that I had to edit this post and take out the part about not even caring if I heard about the Yankees and Red Sox. Well, baseball season arrived before I posted this and I realized my desperation fogged my brain waves. I've already heard too much Yankees and Red Sox and it's not even been a full week of baseball. Go figure. I think my point was I just needed to hear, see baseball and be around it.I just like to have the T.V. on a baseball game, if nothing else.

As far as this Spring has gone, I tried to keep up with the World Baseball Classic. Contrary to a lot of other so called experts' opinions, I was diggin' the whole thing. Seeing the star players on the Dominican team alone got me salivating like a dog with rabies(what,I can say that).I even stayed up one night until 3-4 am just so I could watch a game they hadn't televised until 1 am on ESPN and see Pujols hit a homer and have a 4 RBI game. I needed that. It's my vitamin B. You know, Vitamin-Baseball. ( yeah I said that too!)

As for future news, if you're anything near a Cardinal fan, you know that tickets to the new ball park are pretty much sold out. I swear its been a virtual reenactment of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Every ticket is a golden one. In fact, if you were to see my sister hold up the standing room only tickets she recieved in the mail the other day, you would've thought she had her ticket to freedom or something.

On that note, we, as in me and the other half of my dynamic duo of baseball , Nan, managed to get tickets to a game at the end of April and we also plan on going to Chicago in the end of June to watch a Cards/White Sox game. We initially tried to get Cubs tickets, but apparently all Cubs fans want to witness their asses getting kicked. Fine by me. I'd just as soon watch their asses get kicked on T.V. I kid, I kid, Cubs fans. (but seriously, I forgot what our foots looked like, can you kindly remove them from your arses?) No seriously, kidding. Excurse me..I mean, excuse me.

We also managed to get open house tickets to preview the new Busch before opening day. Yup, we're that nerdy, we got limited, complimentary tickets to a viewing of Busch before it opens for the public. What u gonna do about it!? Oh Snap!

Well, this is just the warm up. Tonight I will finally get to see a Cardinals game. Stay tuned for my review of the ballgame.

Come on back now, ya hear!?
