Catching Up

By The Common Man

A lot has happened over the last three week while The Common Man was trapped under a squishy and adorable baby, and TCM hasn’t had a chance to organize a real response to the news. So let’s just get through it all quickly so we can get back on track with our offseason, shall we?


---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Common Man has been fortunate to get to know a lot of Cardinals fans and writers over the last couple years, and he remains happy for them. Despite that, he takes no real joy in the Cardinals’ win. TCM just doesn’t think the team is terribly likable, between Albert Pujols’ silly refusal to talk to the media, Tony LaRussa’s paranoia and whining, Chris Carpenter’s yelling, Ryan Theriot’s healthy ego, and the way the club ran Colby Rasmus out of town. That said, what a great World Series. Congratulations are due to David Freese and Lance Berkman for their huge performances, and to Mike Napoli for proving what idiots the Angels were last offseason.
