Mets ... pond scum, anyone?
I was only eleven in 1985, in the middle of a heated rivalry between the New York Mets and the Cardinals, when a local DJ rather off-handedly referred to the Mets as pond scum. The name stuck. And to this day, decades later, my first thought when I think of the Mets is "Mets are Pond Scum." I actually found a picture of the shirts that were printed back then:
And I am pleased to announce that tonight we showed the pond scum how we play the game. All nine innings. All in the midst of dark, evil Shea. I go to bed a happy girl.
I can't help but think that these two helped...my postseason fan contingent are wearing their Cards pjs like rally caps.
Back to St. Louis we go for games 3, 4 & 5 on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at 7 pm on FOX.

such a fun game! T is getting REALLY worried about living with a Cardinals fan. He told me last night He will NOT raise our children in a split home. Guess he'll have to become a Cardinals fan too cause I think I'm hooked for good.
haha, that's what i like to hear. i think the bible calls it being "unequally yoked," and you should definitely not raise your kids that way. not fair to them at all.
can i just say that the cardinals stuff is a little nuts?
i don't remember "pond scum" i just sing "the heat is on" whenever i think of the cardinals in my youth...and the little crush i had on keith hernandez and tommy herr. theme music and cute boys: that's the only frame of reference i have for anything sports related.
yes, em, you can say that.
it is nuts. i just love cardinal baseball. and the girls have become my victims. they can talk about that in therapy someday if they like. but while i live in cardinal exile, i have to make the most of those in my realm of influence.
Love those jammies...
got Gracie sayin, "Go, Cards!"
Ben ADORED his card from Lucy...first smile I'd seen from a week from him! Sweet girls.
