You should. It's an excellant color!
TPM, you'd be more than welcomed! Red, kinda in that orange family but without the yellow mixed in. Since I think I know what kind of people you are(after pms, posts...), it'd be like going home. One other thing about Red, it goes with everything!
GO CARDINALS!
GO CARDINALS!
I would have never thought of TPM was a ship jumper or one to jump on a bandwagon. 
Next thing we'll see is GO TAR HEELS

**cough** frontrunner **cough**
What's wrong Beez...got a frontrunner caught in your throat?
Hey, leave TPM alone. She was struck on the head as a child and left wandering in the woods all alone. She is just now coming to her senses. Of course any member of Redbird Nation would realize that most of you'all are just lonely pilgrims on your way to that glorious land known as Redbird Nation! Yes there is hope for all of you as well.
FYI, our band wagon is still moving slow so all others can still jump on. We don't mind a crowd!
Go Cardinals!

TPM: we all know that the Bullwinkle is fair minded and illogically logical in all things….
Nevertheless this is the internet and everything you type and profess to be or not to be is reviewed and documented by the man. Who is the man? The “man” is a software program that was developed in the early 1980’s in a small damp basement near the windy city of Chicago. This programmer wanted to record every bit of information that he/she could acquire and use this information in possibly nefarious means.
The programmer used the doctrine of Senator Joe McCarthy for his background program. For example, the programmer used McCarthy ideological views regarding the infiltration of communist subversives and possible loyalty risks to investigate various internet postings to pin point a large number of people about their “colored” past. Specifically, this programmer was looking for “Red” converters.
Now, fortunately for the internet world, the programmer who had been there and done that, had not done that well in composition class in high school. He was so animated in finishing up the program; he misspelled “Red Converter”.
So, the next time you google a search for a 2005 Red Mazda Miata, you can be certain that the “Man” is watching. TPM, be very cautious regarding “Red” or “Reds” ….please believe me…this threat is factual.
By the way, “Red Bull” purchases via a credit card also puts you at risk!

Oh Brown and Fuzzy Hero, I'm sure that TPM, Orlando and I all welcome such outstanding news. Simply knowing that our covert operations are now focused in on the Red(birds)means that some poor soul gets to enjoy some great news about Redbird Nation without having to deduce whether the content was about the former Soviet Union, Cuba, or China. Surely the Brown and Fuzzy Hero must be rooting for the Cardinals as well since Brown and Fuzzy Heros are nothing more than an appetizer for Tigers!
This is really all because of what happened with the Marlins, blame a fish.
I do beleive that when I posted a while back looking for a team, CoachB and Orlando tried to pursuade me, and of course poor iitg! Not too many others, which shows me they are REAL fans!
So I thought that I would give them some support, since it is also NL.
Regardless, I am enjoying the series much more than last year! Cardinals deserve kudos, they came in as underdog (is that word ok to use) and proving many wrong.

Yes, CoachB is a big fan. But isn't he the one that would have preferred to go to the dentist rather than watch another Card game. Coach I just couldn't resist this! Go Cards!!
Gotta say, I do enjoy my orange better, however this Cardinal Red is pretty nice too!

Only because my TV is new and I just can't afford to purchase another new one. LOL! (Reference the one I broke last year after hitting the TV when the Cardinals lost to the Astros.) Key word here is watch. I spent most evenings listening to the Redbirds on the radio. With the rain and temperatures, its hard to sit with the garage door open and in my favorite portable chair while I watch the people of Troy, Illinois drive past.
Ah, Coach, the sign of a true (cough --old ---couch) Cardinal fan: listening to the game on the radio. We've always been spoiled with excellant and/or entertaining announcers on the Cards' broadcasts, (hey, do you collect "Shannonisms", too?) and listening is audio comfort food.....
Go Cards!
Stop, rain!
Go Cards!
Stop, rain!

Beezer, if you ever get an opportunity to listen to Mike Shannon on the radio, you might just wonder if a baseball game is taking place at all. Well, that is until you hear him yell, "Get up, get up, outta her folks!"
Other "Shannanism" currently making the emails circuit of the Redbird Nation:
"This big standing-room only crowd is settling into their seats."
"It's raining like a Chinese fire drill!"
(After Brian Jordan was hit by a pitch for the 4th time on a single road
trip): "Jordan must feel like a Ouija Board."
(Referring to Bernard Gilkey): "He was originally born in University
City."
"He's faster than a chicken being chased by Ronald McDonald!"
(Referring to Mike Schmidt): "the longtime, and soon-to-be,
Hall-of-Famer."
(Referring to Hideo Nomo): "He's the biggest thing to hit Japan since
they dropped the bomb on Nagashima!"
"This game is off to a rather conspicuous start, don't you think. Jack?"
"Well, folks, this game began as a tiny worm, and is blossoming into a
large cobra."
"That foul tip bounced up and caught him right in the groins...and
that'll really clear your eyes out."
"A hit up the middle right now would be like a nice ham sandwich and a
cold, frosty one."
(Broadcasting from New York under a full moon): "I wish you folks back
in St. Louis could see this moon."
(On the day before Easter): "I just want to tell everyone 'Happy Easter
and Happy Hanukkah.'"
"Things are not always as they appear to be as."
"Well, he did everything right to get ready for the throw, but if ya
ain't got the hose, the water just won't come out."
"Our next homestand follows this road trip."
(Referring to a home run by Ted Simmons): "and that's the bread on
Simmons' butter."
"The right-hander is throwing up (instead of 'up, throwing') in the
bullpen."
"I've heard it said that if you know English, Spanish, Italian, and I
think it's French, you can go just about anywhere in this world...except
China where they have all those derelicts." After a pause, Joe Buch
suggested that Mike has meant to say "dialects." Mike responded, "Yeah,
dialects! That's what I mean...but they've got a lot of derelicts too!"
"He ran to second faster than a cat in Chinatown."
"I wouldn't have see it if I hadn't believed it."
"Don't bite off your head to spite your nose."
Joe: "Mike, the Cardinals would like to welcome a group of 19 French
foreign exchange students in Section 382."
Mike: "Where're they from, Joe?"
Joe: "Uhh, France, I think."
A couple of years back, Mike and Joe were discussing the unflattering
photographs of players that had been flashed on the screen at another
ballpark. Mike's take on the quality of the photo selection was: "Some
of those guys look like the picture was taken while they were seeing
their first UFO." After several seconds of laughter, Joe added, "As
opposed to their second or third."
"The wind switched 360 degrees."
"Boy, a cold, frosty Budweiser would be great about now"...long
pause...then an "ahhh"
Mike's classic: "Ol' Abner Doubleday has done it again."
"It's raining so hard I thought it was going to stop."
"The crowd's on their feet for the Canadian Star Bangled Banner."
"Back in the day when I played, a pitcher had 3 pitches: a fastball, a
curveball, a slider, a changeup and a good sinker pitch."
I'm rooting for 7 games - before Thanksgiving!
Had to add this from the radio last night. Mike Shannon on a Cardinal player swinging at a curveball in the dirt, "He couldn't hit that pitch with a flat ironing board and two eighteen wheelers." (What in the world?)
On the fly ball Rolen hit early in the game and with the Cardinals down by one run, "Get up! GET UP! Folks, this game is t---- ball caught by the left fielder. Folks that ball just died and this announcer sure thought it was a goner." (This drove me crazy! I almost started throwing stuff in my garage. BTW, we just replaced the flooring in our house and we were listening to the game cleaning the furniture before we took it back in as well as applying wood preservatives. I didn't see any of the game except for the last two innings. I just had to see the end of the game.)

Coach:
I take it you haven't seen the latest ironing board models that are out in the stores this fall...you'd be amazed Coach at all of the bells and whistles they've managed to cram onto them...and the horsepower...my goodness!
