What the hell Cincinnati? Also - can we please just hit the ball today? If we had any offense last night, none of this would have been an issue.
The attendant told La Russa, “I want you to know something. I had nothing to do with those balls last night. I’m the one who rubbed them up, but I had nothing to do with them. I don’t know what happened to them after they were over there but you look at them today and they’ll be the same.”
La Russa said, “You mean the same as what? yesterday?”
La Russa then showed the attendant two balls he had saved from the previous game and said, “Do they looked rubbed up to you?”
The attendant replied, “No. I rubbed up the balls but they weren’t like that. /That’s all I’m going to say. I don’t want to get myself in trouble or anything like that. I’m telling you I don’t cheat. I don’t lie. I had nothing to do with it.
“Somehow the mud got off them.”
La Russa said, “I knew they were up to shenanigans. I appreciate you saying that.”
But who is rubbing down the balls?

Everything about this article is perfect and quotable.
In one month, where do you see yourself? Riding a big old fat Clydesdale down Market Street with a bottle of Bud in one hand and a middle finger to the rest of Major League Baseball. Suck an egg New York. Get lost Boston. Munch on this cheesesteak, Philly. Albert Pujols is the greatest hitter in the history of the game and his destiny is not one World Series ring, it’s five.

Ok, last one. We gotta save the champagne photos for later celebrations.

I would apologize for all the pictures I am about to post, but I am not necessarily sorry, so.
Wait, is that little Pagz back there? How cool must that be to get called up from the minors and then take part in this celebration.
Your weekend schedule of wondering: When in the hell are the Cardinals going to clinch?
