Too Funny to Not Post About

So, I've previously stated that I was going to try to not post a lot about the Cardinals, but something happened in their game today at Milwaukee that is too hilarious to ignore.

Jason LaRue is our back-up catcher and a major league veteran.  He was playing today to give Yadier Molina a day off.  The Cardinals were taking the field in the bottom of the 6th when the unthinkable happened.

The Milwaukee Brewers have a traditional 6th inning sausage race (much like the the hot dog race at Royals games that relish clearly dominates).  It consists of adults dressing up in 5 different, extremely tall sausage outfits (such as polish, bratwurst, italian, etc.).  They then race down the 3rd base line and the winner receives a whole lot of glory.  Here's a picture of the sausages for you, just so you can get an idea of what we're dealing with...

I guess Jason forgot about this awesome tradition because he trotted out right into the middle of it and, oh yeah, almost got trampled by some sausages.  Oh, man.  My favorite part was when he realized he was surrounded by stampeding sausages and went into a defensive run.  You could see him panic a little and brace for the impact.

Unfortunately for me, he made it out without actually getting hit, but I'm still laughing about it.  The Sportscenter guys are having some fun with it, but I can't seem to find a video or even a picture to post anywhere.  So you'll just have to settle for my awesome description of the event.  If I find a video, I'll post it.

This is a lot of the reason I love baseball.
