Bush lands the Curse on Cardinals
by Jerome Armstrong

Bush throws out the first pitch during the St. Louis Cardinals' season opener against the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Mo., Monday, April 5, 2004 (this was the game where the Cardinal officials piped in fake applause when Bush strode out to the mound).


A lot of people mistakenly thought that a Massachusetts-Texas World Series would be appropriate. They were wrong. President George W. Bush has no history with the Houston Astros. His history is with the Texas Rangers. In fact, his partners with the Rangers, Bill DeWitt and Mercer Reynolds, are now the main owners of the Cardinals, and he is still close to them. They were the co-chairmen of his inaugural committee four years ago. Reynolds was then named ambassador to Switzerland. One of the local owners, Stephen Brauer, was named ambassador to Belgium, and when the president comes to St. Louis, he often stays at the home of Stephen and Kimmie Brauer. So if the president has a baseball team, it's this one.
Former Texas partner DeWitt is now owner and chairman of the St. Louis Cardinals, whose owners and executives have been among the most generous to Bush's re-election campaign. The team's ownership group includes two Rangers (DeWitt and Kimmy Brauer, wife of owner Steve Brauer) and one Pioneer (Robert Castellini).

And I don't want crap to do with Bu$h. But then again I suspect lots of Redbird fans don't.

. . .Cards to the core, but when pretender to the throne threw out the first ball of the season at Busch Stadium, I almost puked. I knew we were cursed then, and look what happened!!!

4. Yeah I guess that's what we get.

I hope this curse doesn't last 86 years! I'd really like to see them win a series in my lifetime!
