Move Over, Complaining-About-East-Coast-Bias; Making-Fun-of-the-Cardinals-Woes is the New Kid in Town

I'll take on some bad karma here and rejoice just a little that Chris Carpenter's right elbow is inflamed. Not that I would ever wish injury on anyone.

Dude, the Cardinals were probably going to suck with Carpender. This is really bad news for them and really good news for everyone else.

This is what Tony La Russa had to say following getting swept-the-fuck-out of their own stadium by the best team in baseball:

"I think if you get two runs in three games, we're better than that, and I don't care how good the pitching is."

Read that again:

"I think if you get two runs in three games, we're better than that, and I don't care how good the pitching is."

THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!

Their manager is speaking in tongues!

They're boned.

Wait, let's look at this more closely:

"I think if you get two runs in three games [then] we're better than that"

So, if YOU ["you" being...the reporter?] score 2 runs in 3 games, then the Cardinals will score more than that.

Makes sense. The Cardinals are likely to score more runs than a reporter, even a really good reporter that actually manages to score 2 runs all by himself in against a major league team.

"...and I don't care how good the pitching is."

So, LaRussa is assuming that whether the reporter scores against very good pitching (in which case the Reds should totally sign this reporter) or very bad pitching (still, sign this dude), the Cardinals are still likely to score more runs.

Again, this makes sense. Although it's gotta be a sign of something that LaRussa is comparing his team to a reporter in the first place.
