As we all know, the St. Louis Cardinals have a thing for immortalizing members of their pitching staff who die after Cubs games. The new Big Urinal Cake in St. Louis features the initials and uniform numbers of the late Daryl Kile (DK 57!) and Josh Hancock on the bullpen wall. Cubs’ centerfield sissy Jim Edmonds has those tatooed onto his arm.
But the Cardinals apparently felt that wasn’t enough. They’ve decided that the best tribute to Hancock would combine the two things he liked best. Driving fast and drinking!
Yes, that’s right. The Cardinals now drive a Cruizin’ Cooler out to the bullpen before every home game.
So next time you watch a Cardinals’ game watch the subtle signals The Genius has for summoning the bullpen. If he waves his right arm he wants the righthanded reliever, if he points to his left arm he wants the lefty, if he holds either arm in front of his face and tips his hand back towards his mouth he wants the corresponding reliever AND a Budweiser.

Maybe Miller can be the sponsor…
No wonder he makes so many pitching changes.
Once again, these things just write themselves.
Learn from me, kids. Don’t drink, smoke pot, speed, and talk on a cell phone while not wearing a seatbelt and drive.
Me, out of the gene pool.
I’d really like to see a Cardinals logo with the bat replaced by a syringe.
gotta love someone is already being charged with a DWI while operating one of these.

How about some props for me and the Crew taking care of business in that tomahawk club in Atlanta? Come on now and sing like an Indian with me . . . oooooooooooh, oh, ooooooooooooooooh!
NL Central’s looking strong at the moment . . . oooooooooooh, oh, ooooooooooooooooh!
#6 BP – After placing 4th at the lawn mower races over the weekend I went nuts and drank way too much Budweiser while pretending what it would be like to be Tony LaRusa.
Is this significant?
Hmmm… should we hate the Orioles for being the former St. Louis Browns, or whould we praise them for having the good sense to leave the state of Misery back in the ’50s?
