God bless the troops in Iraq, the troops in Afghanistan, the troops in Korea, nuns, priests (only the ones that don't bugger boys), charity workers, Albert Pujols' first spring training home run on practically the last day of spring training, and the St. Louis Cardinals.

But God, especially the St. Louis Cardinals.

Great preview Will. Brought back a lot of memories. Not to get all Simmons here, but last week after a long night out drinking with my brother, we got home and popped in game 7 of the 06 NLCS and went crazy all over again. Good times.

By the way, Beltran just left the batter's box

You know Will, I have been reading this site for a while now, even seen your picture from time to time. Its not until seeing that photo of you at the stadium that i realized it was YOU who hugged me at that game. I was in St. Louis for a media convention that weekend and being a long time Cardinals fan, i managed to get into that game. (lets not ask how. Lets also not ask about how I had the opportunity to rid the world of Tim McCarver but passed on it.) I remember after the game was over being hugged my some weird guy in a leather coat, going nuts. Video may exist of this. A buddy of mine smuggled in his digital video camera and was filming the mayhem. Hopefully he still has the video of us drinking with some of the Tigers players earlier that weekend.

By the way, it's not often another man hugs me with out getting his ass kicked. The Cardinals winning the series was that magical.

I am sorry I called him out a little in a friendly way. I know that's not how Deadspin goes about things AT ALL. I apologize to you personally for being so bold as to rib Will a little bit.

Hopefully, a full-blown existential crisis will be averted, because it's the last thing you're going to want to have pop up in the middle of a busy work day.

I'm going to go against the grain here since it seems everyone is lining up in the fellatio queue. I may be a bitter Tigers fan (actually no, how can I be bitter about them reaching the WS given their history?), but I think I saw the same article a couple years ago when Boston won, only it was written by some dude named "Simmons".

I look forward to 2010, when Will gleefully defends the Cards challenging the Yankees for having a massive payroll, becomes a self-annointed college hoops expert, relentlessly name-drops his friends J-Bug, Bish, House, Dooze the Dog, Blueboy, Jimmy Kimmell, and Cousin Saletc. into every thread, and loses a season long betting contest to the Deadspin Gal (possibly Andie).

Come to think of it, I think Simmons is a little bit of an emo fan too. Kind of eerie.

Bud Fox — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 13:11:28 EDT

Awesome preview, Will. And I think that is a very accurate description of how most Cards fans feel at the moment, especially those of us who were just kids in '82. The way I felt when Wainwright struck out Inge was the exact same way I felt when I was 5 years old watching Bruce Sutter.

Still, I think as we get into the summer, everybody will want to win just as much. Especially if the Cubs are able to translate all that payroll into a competitive team. Losing might not be so disappointing for a while, but the desire to win won't change.
