So Scott of Cardnilly fame mentioned that there are a lot of female cardsbloggers floating around. Yes, yes, this is true. And yes, we’re all happy about this. But people, let’s not kid ourselves. We’ve still got a ways to go before we’re truly the best blogging community on the internet. I’m putting up my own humble wishlist for the cardsblogosphere:
- A cardinals podcast. If we can’t get mp3s of programs on KFNS, KMOX, KTRS, or 1380 ESPN to listen to on the subway, surely one of our intrepid and clever cardsbloggers can recruit some friends to shoot the shit with on a regular basis? Come now. I want subway entertainment. I mean, I love the Baseball Prospectus podcasts, but I want even more baseball blathering. If the cubs fans can do it, then so can we! Right?
- Someone to buy this great url I have in mind. I’m not posting it because then (undoubtedly) some lameass will buy it and use it to sell pornographic gerbils or electric nipple clamps or some such. But whenever I mention that this awesome web address is available, fellow Cards fans are shocked (shocked!) to hear it. One friend tried to convince me to buy it and set up a sort of network for out-of-town Cards fans to watch important games together, but I decided it would be too much work to set up, and too much work to maintain. Still, though. Someone should do something with this address, so email me about it if you’re web inclined.
- An official blogosphere-sanctioned shot for after-important-win consumption. Now. It’s odd to think of a cardinals related drink that doesn’t involve A-B beer. But really, if we have a redbird dessert, can’t we have an official celebratory drink? I recommend that someone who’s better at drinking than I am think up a recipe and a snazzy name. I’ll pass it around New York City. The rest is up to you.
- Someone, somewhere, must have a copy of “The Heat is On” with all those cheesy 1980’s Cardinal interjections. “A gran - a gran- a grand slam by Herr!” “This is Bob Gibson and the cards are hot!” “SCORE!!!” “really really red hot”. You all know what I’m getting at, right? This is the Internet! This is the sort of thing we should publish. It’s what we do. Let’s make this happen.
- Ample appreciation for this site. Props and snaps go to the Fuck Your Couch for linking me there in the first place.
- Albert Pujols to win the MVP. Just because that would be nice.

AND, we’ll drop into into a budweiser so it will be like a car-bomb! (A CARD-BOMB!)
Or… Not. Dropping that into a beer might make it the grossest celebratory drink of all time…

Of course, whenever my favorite bartender at McGurks sees me after a game he normally says “A Mike Shannon?”
I usually nod and am handed “an ice cold budweiser.”
Mike Shannon = Ice cold budweiser

[...] Make fun of Alex Fritz for sissy-fying his blog title. Although a little bird told me that Fritz has redeemed himself by finally coming up with an ideal Cardinal-themed drink for this year. And what’s the drink called? Survey says: “The Heat is On”. In the words of young Mr. Fritz, it’s a drink that’s “1/2 pina colada, 1/2 strawberry daiquiri, and 100% awesome… this drink starts off as a beautiful display of white-on-red, before turning into a nice little shade of cardinal”. Apparently he discovered it during his trip to Mexico. (You have to read this entry, by the way. Awesome stuff. ) [...]

I actually do have a copy of that “heat is on” from KMOX. It’s on cassette and i’m trying to get it into my computer.

Seriously, if you get that online, I’m pretty sure it would SAVE THE INTERNETS.
