Cheaters in Baseball???
Posted by: Denelle
Dear Bradley,
I received your "note" about baseball and the playoffs. It saddens me that you had to insinuate that the Cardinals cheat. Perhaps in your grief you are a little confused and didn't realize that it was in fact the Astros who were just accused of cheating (via performance enhancing drugs) earlier this week. Well, more specifically it was Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte who were accused of cheating but it does sort of overshadow the entire team.
Everyone knows that a Cardinal wouldn't cheat. Baseball is too pure of a sport, too sacred to Cardinal fans for a player to sully the team with cheating. -- Please refrain from making any references to Mark McGuire here. He is no longer a member of the team and thus doesn't count. Anyway, we got him from Southern California and we all know what fruits and nuts those people are ... says the former SoCal girl. -- No, clearly that behavior is better reserved for the likes of the Astros and the Orioles.
So, once the baseball season is done I will gladly move along to covering football. After all, the world of professional football has its own fun scandals to deal with (Terrell Owens attempting suicide - or not - maybe it's a Texas thing). Until then you'll just have to accept the fact that the Cardinals are "magic".
Very truly yours,
Denelle
P.S. Oh, and here's a little something more to brighten your day. Beautiful, isn't it??
