Mike Martz had better be rooting for the Cardinals to not only go to, but WIN the World Series. As most of St. Louis is understandably caught up in playoff fever, the focus has been shifted away from the spanking the Rams got last Sunday at the hands of the New York Giants. Hey, I’m not blaming the public, I am guilty of the same thing. I went to the game yesterday and didn’t think once about how I thought drunk guy next to me could come up with a better game plan against the Giants than the one our mad genious showd us last Sunday. Martz and the Rams, it appears, have gotten away with simply sticking their collective heads in the sand and pretending last week’s game never happened. Martz said that they aren’t going to look at the game tape, they are going to move on. Well, luckily for Martz, the Cardinals have two home playoff games this week, and the Blues open their season after a year off. Now, I don’t really give a puck about the start of the hockey season, but that along with the playoff atmosphere which has engulfed the city, allowed Martz to get away with his McGwire-esque statement of looking forward, not looking back at that embarassment they called a game. Well Mike, enjoy your temporary reprieve from the judgemental observations of an increasingly hostile public, it wont last long. The Cardinals leave town just in time for your game against the also awful Seattle Seahawks. If you lose that game, no amount of Cardinal baseball or Blues hockey (does anyone really care about this? can I just stop even mentioning it?) will distract St. Louis from calling for your head. As much as I HOPE you get your D back in line and find the running game that you seemed to have misplaced last week, I kind of expect the petition to start filling up before long.
