Baseball Spin

From today's St. Louis Dispatch:
The "we're-still-in-first-place" Cardinals encountered another (false) bottom Saturday night against the going-nowhere Kansas City Royals.

What might have passed for inspiration instead became another installment of a division leader's six-week slide.
So that's what they've resorted to? Trying to justify their suckiness with a phrase of desperation? They've just lost a series to the Royals! And look what else they have to say to convince themselves they don't suck:
The Cardinals remain percentage points ahead of the Cincinnati Reds in the NL Central but have retreated to seven games over .500 (43-36) for the first time since May 8.
Um...who cares about the percentage points? At the end of the season, everyone plays the same amount of games. Call it what it is, a virtual TIE FOR FIRST PLACE WITH THE CINCINNATI REDS.

Bwahaaahaaahaaa! Come on KC, sweep the Deadbirds! Here's another pin for Voodoo Albert!

Update: David Stormy Weathers is now officially one full game behind the Deadbirds in the standings.
