Cross my heart, true story.

Bianca LaRussa is my SiL ... I actually got a 1-day 'ordination' from the State of CA, I guess you'd call it ... and I performed the ceremony as the 'minister'. I literally married her to my little brother.

We love TLR here and oddly enough, we also still hate him for benching Ozzie.

St Louis is an odd town

The whole city is angry that we've missed the playoffs 3 years straight.

I've lived here 20 years, The Redbirds have 4 NL Pennants 2 World Series Pennants and have made the playoffs 15 times in those years.

Folks still bitching tho...

We (Baseball fans nation wide) all say that we just want a contending team -And that's true.

But when other cities say that they mean "Relevant in September and in striking range of the Playoffs"

We mean "win a couple in the League Championship series AT LEAST!!!"

Don't even get me started on the "Best Fans In Baseball" bullshit - let's just say that the yahoos who buy into that nonsense are the swamps monsters that spawned the "Get a brain morans" redneck
