OK, so I went on and on about flirting, dating and the big “payoff” in last week’s weekend preview. So naturally, this week was different. We saw the MLB playoffs roll out and Nebraska muscle up one of the most macho comebacks in recent college football at Mizzou on a slip-and-slide wet Faurot Field.
And what set up for one of those “When it rains, it pours” type of dating streaks that every guy (or sports fan) dreams of, was stopped cold when some female baseball god threw a drink on Matt Holliday.
Before we get the shammy out for Terry Allen and discuss some high school football, I have to get this Matt Holliday stuff off my chest.

Delayed gratification is good for the soul. You have to wait for what you want. We can’t all go around trying to become instantly satisfied, or we’d revert back to caveman status – or at least turn out like that meathead Lance from The Amazing Race.
That guy on the left, Lance, is a total meathead. Couldn't you tell from the sweet armband?
That’s what’s so odd about this current Major League Baseball season. From the onset of spring training, I was scouring every possible St. Louis Cardinals news source: The Post-Dispatch, FutureRedbirds.net, Viva El Birdos, Birdsonthebat.org, etc. After missing the playoffs last season, I had to know every little detail about Skip Schumacher’s transition to second base, why the hell Chris Duncan was still in the lineup and how some former Springfield Cardinal was possibly going to be the team’s closer. It was borderline insanity. I felt like I was collecting Cardinals information like those people from the show Hoarders. It was gruesome.
But a funny thing happened on the way to Neuroticville. The Cardinals got good. Really good. MV3 good.
