3WW CXCVI — Damn Cardinals

No poetry this week, nor fic­tion, just a rant about Baseball…sorry in advance for the bla­tant sports theme.…but this is what was on my mind this morn­ing and the 3WW words were perfect.…

——-

I have this deeply acrid taste in my psy­che this morn­ing.  The MLB team I fol­low, the St. Louis Car­di­nals, turned in their sec­ond truly embar­rass­ing per­for­mance in less than a weeks time last night.  In Col­orado, they took a 9–3 lead into the bot­tom of the 9th Inning, had two outs on the Rock­ies and lost the game, 12–9.

TWELVE to NINE!  The Car­di­nals gacked up NINE RUNS in the bot­tom of the NINTH INNING with TWO OUTS!

Thus far, the Car­di­nals have been the bane of my base­ball enjoy­ing expe­ri­ence.  If you play hard and lose, fine.  If you go through games play­ing list­less, tepid, close to unin­spired base­ball, well I am dis­gusted.  These are not the hall­marks of a Tony LaRussa lead team, that much is certain.

I have elected to vote with my wal­let.  I had wanted to go to another game in St. Louis this sum­mer as I enjoy going to the ball­game, but I don’t want to pay good money to watch bored play­ers sleep walk through games.  I’d rather pay my money to go watch the Kansas City Roy­als at least try, even if it is likely they will not win the game.  At least they put some effort forth…
