St. Louis mayor gets blasted in Deadspin
 

If you ever needed another reason to dislike that town across the state, see now this:

The other day, the Wall Street Journal accurately noted that the Cardinals are the most loathsome team in this year's playoffs. Well, Mayor Francis Slay (NOTE: quality lead singer name) wasn't about to take that shit lying down. He took time off from arming the police with rail guns yesterday to pen an op-ed in the WSJ, defending the Cardinals and then doing that thing all politicians do where they trump up their voting district like they're listing their own personal résumé. Let's get into this pile of garbage.

St. Louis to America: Don't Be Jealous

Your butt-hurt, along with your general lack of baseball knowledge, almost makes me wish the Royals had missed the playoffs.

This is the best line “We’re sorry for our diverse community in that more Bosnians—over 60,000—call St. Louis home than anywhere outside of Bosnia.”

Bad form. Greedy baseball fan.

Can't a guy apologize without being hated?

We did not need a thread about this to know this.

Meh.

"He took time off from arming the police with rail guns yesterday "

I laughed

You are a sad-ass mother****er. You waste your entire life hating gays and Cardinal baseball.

Just do yourself a favor: take a fistful of Ambien and go scuba diving without a regulator. You'll be happier.

What an unfunny douchebag. Way to make a fool of yourself and embarrass your city, Mr. Mayor. St. Louis deserves better than to have this guy writing trash-talking op-eds on their behalf. Anybody know what the reaction has been in St. Louis?

Why are the Cardinals considered "loathsome"?

Just another reason in a long line of reasons to say....

"FU STL"

I have many St. Louis friends, and haven't seen a single one of them championing their mayor's op-ed. I would bet most are kind of embarrassed by it. And probably a little pissed now since it has invited broad mockery.
