- The Title - I took the name of the blog from something I witnessed while in Atlanta watching a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves. A young man, probably in his 20s, was wearing an Eli Marrero #26 road jersey -- in 2007. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Eli Marrero. In fact, during his "break-out" season of 2002, I was an Eli Marrero supporter. But that still doesn't erase the fact that even during said "break-out" season he was -- at best -- the fifth-best position player on the team, even on par with the dreadful Tino Martinez of 2002. Why a man would want to rock this jersey is beyond me. Anyway, by the time I got my camera out to take a picture of this madness, the man had disappeared. So this is all I can give you for now:
- The Content - I intend for this blog to be mostly about the sports I care about, specifically the St. Louis Cardinals, Auburn Tigers, PGA golf, Oakland Raiders, and the occasional international soccer discussion (about once every two years, for either the World Cup or the Euro tournament). This is not a personal blog, so you will not find personal ramblings on here. You may find the occasional political piece, or a commentary on something I've seen in the theaters or heard on the radio lately, but that's about it. There are plenty of other blogs on the internet to find what you're looking for, if this isn't it.
- The Object - This blog is supposed to be one man's views and commentary on the aforementioned sports. I am not a stat junkie, and do not recap events as if I were writing a sports column. I am just giving my straight-from-the-heart opinion of how things went. I will not give statistics ad nauseam to support or decry a decision that was made, but I will call Tony La Russa a f'in idiot for deciding that Aaron Rowand was a better option in the bottom of the 9th with the bases loaded, two outs, and down by a run than Albert Pujols would have been.
That about sums it up in a nutshell. Until next time...
