T-Shirt Wars
What a Salvo.
It all started so innocently. Or, as innocent as intense sartorial mocking can be.
A fan site for the Cardinals posted a great shirt idea:
Mike Leake STOLE THIS SHIRT FOR ME.
The response came quickly, a surgical strike:
Tony LaRussa WALKED THE LINE AND FAILED.
Then the Cardinals site dropped a T-Shirt bomb of snark on their opponents, including the genius above. With the balance now obviously shifted in the battle, perhaps the underdogs need a little help?
Incredibly important note: I am not taking sides in this inevitably long and drawn out battle. I’m just making gentle suggestions from afar. Gentle. Suggestions.
Tony La Russa WANTS TO SEE YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE
Colby Rasmus MADE HIS FATHER PUNCH TONY LARUSSA
Ryan Franklin FOUND YOUR LOST SQUIRREL ON HIS FACE
Matt Holliday IS TOO BLAND TO MAKE FUN OF
Lance Berkman ATE YOUR ELVIS
Matt Holliday HAS NO APPENDIX
Ouch. That’s harsh, man.
@ Temo
“Ryan Franklin will use this shirt to wipe his tears after he blows yet another save.”
Is that too verbose
I was thinking:
Ryan Franklin: COULDN’T SAVE FERRIS
Or how about just a picture of Pujols in a Cubs uni? No caption needed.
It’s been done: http://www.joesportsfanstl.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/pujols-cubs-jersey-575×383.jpg
Also, it’s mean.
Mean to who? Pujols?
I like that idea.
(Couldn’t save Ferris)
Matt Holliday had character before he lost his appendix.

What about a picture of Tony LaRussa with the caption:
You better have another beer….BEFORE YOU DRIVE HOME THOSE RUNS
