I’m looking forward to it, too – hopefully the Cards fail to resign a few people, which will make my job much easier.

Just go ahead and enjoy it – it was a spectacular embarassment.

I’m already looking forward to the “Why the 2010 St. Louis Cardinals Will Suck” post in March. I’m thinking at least 200 comments next year!

~You see, if that had happened to the Cubs, our groan would not have been a groan of disappointment. We would have groaned with the knowledge that “this has happened before.”~

If a Cub had tried to make a groin catch in a playoff game only to allow a 9th inning comeback win, my groan would have been at the thought of the looming media tsunami bringing up topics such as black cats, billy goats, and poor Mr. Bartman.

I’m trying to allow myself to. Your post of Schadenfreude was spot on, btw. It was the first thing that popped into my head.

Embrace your bubble.
