They will never be as good at it as disappointed kids at Christmas.
You know the ones.
They unwrap clothes with apathy. They look for the present they missed, knowing there’s nothing left. Sometimes they even ask: “Is that it?”
Cardinals fans can relate this winter. Most like the signing of Willson Contreras at catcher. But they’re still wanting more, and not just socks and a few sticks of gum.
Their siblings and cousins in the National League are getting all kinds of stuff. It’s getting hard to ignore. Team colors this Christmas are Cardinal red and green with envy.
