I never put all my hopes into one person, that's for sure. I deal with loss and heartbreak much better than most. And I know how to tear up the town when I've got something to celebrate. That's just how I roll. I'm a better person for being a cubs fan... So nanny nanny, boo boo to you!

If you want to know what really happened in game 3, I will tell you. It has been confirmed that the Chicago White Sox players were indeed TIRED from beating you like a rented mule the previous two nights and did not have any energy left to properly finish you off in game 3 like they did the first 2 games. All of the running around the bases and getting 6 at bats in 1 game for two nights in a row, tired them out. We apologize for not bringing our A game for game 3 of the series. PS - Even if we were stealing signs, that doesn't explain your poor offensive output....I guess your hitters were tipping off our pitchers as to what they were looking for and we therefore threw something else???? Sincerely, Your tail beating White Sox From my friend Nick, a Sox fan:

Dear St. Louis Cardinals Org,

Awesome), and it was the fastest game I can recall going to. A no hitter going into the 7th? Give props to Jim Thome. He's a pimp. I was also at the game last night to see the sox beat the Astros. I'll try to update my blog soon to post some pix, but all I'll say about the Cards/Sox series is this: The Sox manhandled the Cards the first two games...treated em like a tee-ball team... But I'd rather be a Card fan and suffer a few losses like those than to be a Cub fan and go through my entire lifetime without witnessing my team win big. In a preemptive response to the stupid Cub fan banter soon to follow here, all I have to say is, "nanny nanny boo boo" :P I was at the game on Thursday (Welcome to the bigs, Reyes!

When they lose to the Cubs, the Cubs don't get credit - it's somehow because your team wasn't playing at 100% or didn't care that much because the game wasn't important. But if the Cardinals beat the Cubs, it's just proof that the Cubs suck. Now that you got your shorts pulled over your head on the South Side, there has to be some advantage that the White Sox had that you didn't. Next I'm going to hear that Moulder was being controlled by a joystick in the White Sox Clubhouse and that La Russa was brainwashed into putting Molina in at first. Just face it - sometimes the Cardinals suck too. This is just an extension of the Cardinal mentality that your team can do no wrong.

Baseball teams simply get outplayed all the time. Cards have a problem with the AL (just look how Boston faired against them 2 years ago). This is no "magic bullet" theory kids. Sorry.
