10/17/2005: "Phattest Albert"


Did he kill that ball, or what? I was writing the concession post. About how I hate the playoffs, that they've strayed from their original purpose to become a bastardized March Madness-like thing, and that the inevitable newspapermen writing about how the Cardinals Didn't Make Plays When It Counted and Weren't Hustling Hard Enough and Third Maxim Ironicized Through Capital Lettering were all talking out their non-talking parts.

I still believe all of that, but luck and crapshoots are fun when they're on your side.

In the meantime, I'm gonna do the same things I was going to do when I was assuming they were going to lose: watch a movie (Charade--can't go wrong with a movie that features Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Walter Matthau), listen to a little Smoking Popes, and do some writing. (Fiction.) Gotta relax, win or lose. Also, I have to ice down the hand with which I attempted to move the molding around my bedroom door after Berkman's home run.

HOLY SMOKES! He hit the train tracks! You didn't even have to time to say, "Get up, Baby!" But you didn't even NEED to say it! That ball was torched. BACK TO BUSCH!

Unbelievable! To go from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs makes it all the sweeter. All hail King Albert.

P.S. Good choice on the movie. Charade is a classic, great cast and twists. I believe it was one of Grant's last.

Dan, I'll share the ice with you. I hit the door jam in pure delight when Phat Albert hit the homerun and Izzy came through for 2 strong innings in the clutch. My little finger is black and blue but it won't keep me from clapping tomorrow night at the game in St. Louis.

Anyone notice that the whole city is buzzing about this win? The town wasn't even this excited when the Rams won the Super Bowl! If that doesn't say "baseball town" I don't know what does.

Good work! You’ve a very nice site where is possible to find useful information. I every morning begin with visiting of your site now.

Good day, Thank you for your nice work! David Rodriguez
