Chins up, Padres people.
The St. Louis Blues won the Stanley Cup this week, so there’s hope yet for your comparably challenged Padres in their quest — fruitless so far — to win a World Series.
Lean in, Pads people, to hear the Blues’ victory horns.
Until this past week, the Blues had played NHL hockey for all of their 50-plus years without winning the Cup. The team was sold in 2012, to a local beer man. A few years later, when the NFL team ditched St. Louis for Greater Los Angeles, forlorn fans turned their lonely hearts to the Blues.
