Signs, Ironies, and Baseball
There are two banners hanging up at the Chattanooga Times Free Press. The one in the advertising department says "How Bad Do You Want It?" This sign grates at my grammatical senses, and when I told a co-worker this she said it was a quote from somewhere. Some quote.
The other banner hangs in the editorial department, and it says "Details Make the Difference." This message, ironically, applies oh-so-well to the banner in Advertising. Well, maybe it's not that ironic, but I like to pretend that it is. My point is, we should care about grammar all the time, including when it comes to signs hanging up in our offices. Enough said.
In other news, I am now fully recovered from the Cards' loss to the 'Stros in the NLCS. The Cards always have such great seasons and then somehow fall apart in the postseason. Kinda like the Braves. No loss, though, however great, can take anything away from The Homerun by Pujols on Monday night. Some are saying that it will now just be a footnote, but I think it will still go down in the history books as one of the greatest.
We'll see if the "Shy Sox" can whip the pants off the Astros in the Series. Although I won't be watching - I have better things to do :)

no, while the homerun by pujols was amazing, it will not go down as one of the greatest. it won a game, but it didnt turn the series. there are enough moments from the last 5 years alone that will be remembered far longer than that. sorry. and yes, id say the cardinals loss in the series greatly diminishes the value of the homerun. it was to no avail.

Ok, fine. In the context of a single game, the homerun was incredibly great, but in the context of the series, it didn't change much, only delayed the inevitable. I get your point. Still, it was a great moment, for what it was worth.
