It really was. I was listening to the Cards broadcast on my iPhone on the train (did I mention how awesome the MLB At Bat app is?) before the Cubs game started. Listening to the Cards radio guy talk about the heat Motte was throwing, plus the fans who got all fired up when Craig Wilson got 2 strikes on him...and then just silence. Oh, man. That was pure awesomeness.

Just think if that was the Cubs. Opening day at home, start the inning with a 3 run lead, bases loaded, 2 out, 0-2 count and then boom. We'd be fucking killing ourselves.

Yeah. Now I feel kind of bad about it. You just put me in their shoes.

<i>You?</i> Empathetic?
Well, just in case you're serious, let me give you some memories: Pujols sushing the Wrigley crowd, LaRussa prattling on about his own genius, the 82-win Cardinals hoisting the World Series trophy a scant 2 and a half years ago...<i>now</i> how do you feel about that Motte meltdown?

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
