Yeah, the Cardinals lost the World Series. I was there last night to see it happen and believe me, it was a sorry sight. Congratulations to the Boston fans. The thousands of them on the field after the game sure looked like they were having fun.
Now to something more important. In the next box over last night was none other than Secretary of State Matt Blunt, the Republican candidate for Missouri governor. He's running against state Auditor Claire McCaskill, and the race is deadlocked.
For most of the game, Blunt was hanging out on the inside part of his box. I don't blame him, since the game was heartbreaking to watch. But when he came out into the seats to look around a little bit, you know what he was drinking? Bailey's out of a shot glass. He wasn't doing shots, mind you--he was sipping it!
Definitely uncool. Defintely a scandal. Mr. Secretary of State, dude, you need a new look. (We call him "dude" because he's only 32.) May I suggest, Mr. Secretary of State, dude, drinking Budweiser when you're in St. Louis?

Here in New England, nothing is more important!

I can understand why. Congratulations to you too, Al.

Yes, but was Claire there at all?

Sarah: Not last night. Claire was at Game 3 the night before.

Too bad that didn't make it into the Springfield News-Leader. Here in Southwest Missouri, we'd only see Matt Blunt drinking a Coca-Cola at a baseball game.
