St. Louis Cardinals: 5 New Phrases for Your World Series Home Run Alphabet

In the immortal words of legendary St. Louis announcer Jack Buck, Rally Squirrel Nation is ready to "Go Crazy!"  Watch for screaming dots as the Cardinals turn Busch Stadium into Cape Canaveral during the Fall Classic.  Here are five suggested additions to your Cardinals' home run alphabet.  

Redbird Home Run Alphabet: Yada, Yada, Yadi

Big Catch can go Transformer and turn into Big Fly Guy at a moment's notice.  Don't be fooled by his 14 regular season seat reachers.  Baseball Town knows Yadi is a clutch performer. 

Redbird Home Run Alphabet: October Poetry

If you're going to the Fall Classic, or just cheering for St. Louis at home, drink two Bud Lights and repeat this ode to Robert Frost:  Two teams diverged in a yellow wood, and Matt Holliday blew the other one up real good.  Remember, whether it's baseball, beer or bad poetry, please be responsible.

Redbird Home Run Alphabet: Heartbreak Hotel

Lance Berkman dropped some pounds, dropped the "Fat Elvis" persona, and added the NL Comeback Player of the Year award.  Make no mistake, Berk and the Boys want the Texas Rangers to end this year dwelling in the same place where they finished last yeardown at the end of lonely street.

Redbird Home Run Alphabet: Deep Freese

Mean Mr. Freeze was always a heinous villain on the classic TV series Batman (and also in the movies).  St. Louis fans know No. 23 is poised to give Texas Rangers' pitching that same cold treatment.  We can already hear Dancing Ron in the Texas dugout, "Holy home run, Nolan!"

Redbird Home Run Alphabet: E Pluribus Pujols

You can't blame C.J. Wilson and company if they are losing some serious REM sleep lately.  Imagine having to stare at The Machine from just 60 feet away.  "E pluribus unum" is a phrase on the Seal of the United States.  It means "out of many, one."  Out of the many people we can discuss dropping World Series bombs, Phat Albert is the one to unite Redbird Nation and win World Series number 11.
