Have a Seat: Cards Sell Out

ST. LOUIS, MO -- St. Louis Cardinals' ownership took their marketing up a notch today when they began disassembling the seats in the new Busch Stadium to sell on eBay.
The Cardinals sold all manner of items from the previous Busch Stadium to memento-hungry collectors. Everything from dugout benches to clubhouse urinals fetched top dollar. But that sale occurred just prior to the stadium's demolition; this sale is taking place when the seats are less than a month old.
“It just goes to show that we can get our fans to buy anything,” said Cardinals Senior Vice President of Business Development Bill DeWitt with a chuckle. “They even buy that this group of has-beens can contend in the long run.”
The seats are being disassembled during the Cardinals' road trip to Cincinnati, but they aren't likely to be missed even when the team returns home.
“When this team starts tanking, demand is sure to go down,” said DeWitt. “And I figure that's going to start tonight.”
Heck yeah. We love the Proxy. Good choice, BS.
Great! This is a bit of an obnoxious question – but should I post on both sites, or is it automatic, or what?
RHM, I’m with you in that I’ve got the Cincinnati feed… Ohio commercials are lame!!
(yes, I’m new at this smack business).
Do you know, Ms. Scratcher, that when I met you, you looked almost exactly like my mental picture of you.
When I didn’t meet you, RBB, your image in my mind didn’t change. But then, you actually had a photo on your old site.
If you can work out a way to make it automatic, that would be awesome. I type my comments here, CTRL-A, CTRL-C, over to Bellyitcher, and CTRL-V. You get pretty good at it after a while.
Hell yeah, Freel! I love a deep double.
Um, I mean…
That’s what I do, too. Type, copy, submit, paste, submit.
Go Lopez!
Balls. Well, can’t blame this one on the bullpen, Mulder.
Is LaRussa giving signs or doing Milk, Milk, Lemonade?
“Do you know, Ms. Scratcher, that when I met you, you looked almost exactly like my mental picture of you.”
You did as well! Weird.
Nice stop, Lopez. Crappy throw.
That is weird. Maybe we smacked in a former life.
Hey, Lopez’s throw didn’t go into the stands. I’ll take it!
Boooooooo.
Smart boy. Weathers must have talked to him about walking Pujols.
Well, at least Jimmy didn’t strike out.
Honestly, since when do our teams get in pitching duels? A Reds/Cards game is supposed to be a home run derby.
What do you ladies think of Mr. Arroyo? Surely you’d like to have him featured in your rotation.
RUN, BIG MAN!
Heck yeah!
I would. He’s become a very nice pitcher since the trade. Don’t like the hair.
Man, my effing roommate keeps distracting me.
My comments that I’ve been too lazy to post:
– According to bellyscratcher’s Proxy, I look exactly like I did seven years ago when that picture was taken.
– Who’s the bald Red?
– BASTARD REDS!
– Nice try, Lopez.
– BASTARD REDS!
Freel and Lopez are both bald. I wish they’d grow hair. Freel was adorable with curls.
Heck yeah, Little Eddie!
When are they going to get someone up for Mulder?
Now.
#*&%(&^)*(^(&$#&
Sweet. Hancock’s getting warm.
Brandon Phillips is the man.
RRB: every time George Grande says someone hit the ball “on the button,” take a sip.
Snax!
Damn, I love Steak ‘n Shake.
Wasn’t the epic comeback around a year ago?
I was just thinking that, belly!
I don’t know what you’re talking about. I may have blocked something like that from my memory.
Oh, bad news. The proxy has stuff to do tomorrow and can’t smack.
The Red Sox traded for a catcher today. I wonder why they didn’t pursue one from the Reds…:D
That was a freakin’ awesome pitch-out.
Oh, Snacks.
8-o
Snax walked Bronson!
My roommate and I have taken to making fun of Arroyo nonstop in lieu of a good game. What the hell was he thinking with that hair?
Whatever. You’d love to have that hair and you know it!
Seriously, Hancock has jowels. I know he doesn’t think he’s that much overweight, but a couple weeks on Slim Fast wouldn’t kill him.
He’s on a team that had Ray King the past two years. He’s positively svelte.
Hell yeah. Lopez is the man. 2RBI single to bring the Reds up 6-1. And Graves isn’t around to give this one up.
Though Weathers had a part in that too…*gulp*
Holy crap. You’ll be in first all alone tomorrow. So lonely. No one around to say, “It’s OK, I’ve been here before, I’ll help you through.”
The pressure will be amazing.
RHM, I’d stay quiet until the fat lady sings. NO LEAD IS SAFE with reds pitching…
Is that what you’re calling Snax now?
We briefly had first to ourselves in the last series. It was exhilarating but scary to have nowhere to go but down.
You guys are used to that feeling, I suppose.
RRB, how do you like that Red Roof Inn commercial? Don’t you just want to kick that guy in the teeth?
Right now, I’m calling Snax Sux.
No kidding. Time to get someone else up. Mulder was better than this.
My roommate keeps distracting me during the commercials, so I haven’t noticed them much lately. He either wants to switch channels to the Brewers/Astros game or give me dating advice.
Why is Hancock still pitching?
I have no idea.
They play it every break, so be on the lookout. My favorite part is where he says “The chances of me working are…remote” and hold up the television remote control. It’s my favorite because I know that it would work just as well to say “The chances of me getting laid are…less than zero.”
Nice throw, Juan!!
Ooh lookit how hot Kearns looks.
I’ll look out for that commercial IF THIS INNING EVER ENDS.
Damn, Arroyo is on his game. Two outs into the eighth inning and only 92 pitches.
