Tears and Glory

Mired in a six game loosing streak, the Cardinals are battling to keep control of the NL Central while attempting to weather their recent run of awfull pitching. Were it not for the World Cup, I'd be in the worst mood you've ever seen me in right now. Thankfully, Argentina has strung together several strong performances, and head to the quarterfinals against Ze Germans on Friday. The month-long celebration of Futbol comes at the perfect time, and hopefully the Cardinals will find their stride again before the tournament is over, otherwise it's gonna be an awfully long summer...

In the meantime:

VAMOS, VAMOS, ARGENTINA! VAMOS, VAMOS A GANAR! VAMOS, VAMOS, ARGENTINA, QUE ESTA BARRA NO TE DEJA DE ALENTAR!!
