My Christmas Wish List

My lovely mother always says that she wants it early, so here it is Mom:

David's Christmas List (I really want everything on this list, so please try your hardest Mom. I mean, Santa.)

*Jason Marquis to give up 39 homeruns in a Cubs uniform.
*Jason Marquis to have an era over 9.87 in a Cubs uniform.
*The Blues to win two games in a row.
*The issue with Cardinals lack of starting pitching to be resolved.
*The Rams to figure something out.
*A camcorder.
*To make a guest appearance in the film version of "Three Nights in August."
*Missouri Hoops to crack the Top 25 and NOT screw everything up.
*A Missouri football bowl victory.
*Neither Florida nor Ohio State to win the BCS Championship.
*The complete Johnny Cash music collection.
*All ticket prices everywhere to go down 50%.
*Cheap Beer at Cardinal games.
*Ram fans to be more enthusiatic than Chief fans when the Chiefs play at The Ed.
*To win my NCAA Bracket Pool come May.
*Money.
*Probably some more money.
*A nice meal.
*Bud Selig to take away the World Series home-field advantage significance of the MLB All-Star game.
*Barry Bonds' career to silently and peacefully end.
*Mike Matheny to come back as a Cardinals bullpen coach.
*One more slap shot from the blue line off the stick of Al MacInnis and past a Blackhawk goaltender.
*For that matter, a good Blues defense.
*To find out that George Steinbrenner has been found guilty of laundering government money in order to pay Alex Rodriguez' contract.
*For Derek Jeter to make a routine play on a ball in the hole (like every other shortstop), without ESPN calling it "the greatest play of the year."
*KMOX to resume broadcast of all Cardinal games.
*Joe Buck and Mike Shannon to take over the reigns in the radio booth.
*Ozzie Smith to do one more back flip.
*Jack Buck to give us one more "Thats a Winner."
*DK57 to give us one more win.
*All sports integrity get put back into sports.
*The free agent market in baseball to make sense again.
*Pete Rose to get a manager job somewhere in baseball.
*Give Tony LaRussa a lifetime contract.
*My girlfriend to understand my passion for all things sports, including but not limited to, my fantasy sports teams.
*The Fantasy sports curse that won't let me ever win a championship to vanish.
*Terrell Owens to vanish with it.
*All NBA players to go through an anger management workshop once a week.
*Allen Iverson to finally get traded...and shutup.
*Manny Ramirez to finally get traded....and shutup.
*Tony Twist to come back to the Blues and protect Eric Brewer's soft ass.
*The Blues to decide who their goalie is....and stick with it.
*A complete highlight reel of Chris Kaman getting dunked on.
*The Texans to admit they were completely and utterly foolish in not drafting Reggie Bush.
*One of the Ram's first round draft picks to be worth something.
*A Green hat.
*And finally, worldwide peace and love and the end of all wars.

What's on your Christmas list?

It's March Madness. And maybe the Blues will settle on a goalie when one gets healthy. That's like asking the Rams to settle on one good defensive tackle. It just is not possible right now. And by the way, even though I am a SEMO Grad, Willie Ponder is obviously not the answer at kick returner. Send back where he came from (Cape G).

One more Green Bay Packer Super Bowl championship.

I'm with you until the Tony Larussa contract. I'll go with a lifetime contract with the Cubs, but the more I see him in a Cardinal Uniform the more it makes me sick. I've felt this way for several years and even though the Cards won the World Series I have to give more credit to Izzy than to Tony. I'd like to thank him for finally getting "hurt" and forcing Tony to put Wainwright in the role he shoulda been since May. Everything else just fell in place after that.
