Tigers win ... uh, really?
As it does now with as much predicitability as a lame prediction from Dr. Z, Sports Illustrated already has quickly run out all the St. Louis Cardinals "tribute" stuff that its marketing department can print, both for sale and lure new subscribers, ready to clutter the trophy room of any new Jeff Weaver fan from here to the South Pole.
Not so fast, according to those who are still tabulating the horrid team batting averages.
These sorry Cardinals have apparently said they're sorry for upsetting everyone's expectations that the Detroit Tigers would win, and are willing to make amends.
After all, since this was a World Series that apparently no one watched, it shouldn't be that big a deal, right?
"I don't know what we could've done differently," St. Louis Cardinals second-baseman Ronnie Belliard is quoted in a the latest fake sports story posted on The Onion.
"We gave the Tigers every opportunity to win ballgames, but when their pitchers keep making errors on simple ground balls, what are we supposed to do, pretend we forgot the rules and start running to third base?"
