Allow myself...

by CardsFan922 on May 26, 2009 5:49 PM EDT

...to introduce myself. Using a 12-year-old Austin Power's reference. Nice start!

I'm CardsFan922, and I am honored to have been offered a spot on the author's roster, which I immediately accepted. The pay is decent, the hours are grueling and I'm sure if I weren't married I would be using this new gig as a decent convo starter.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not up to speed on the Cardinal Nine, so I will be doing what I can on that front.

I only ask, and I think I speak for my fellow co-authors, that the readers don't judge us compared to Mike, aka, The Godfather (Doc, Hot Hot and I will figure out privately who is Frank the Tank, Beanie, and Dean Pritchard). Few have such an equal passion for UofL sports, a well-crafted sentence and well-crafted sentences about taking off one's pants as Mike.

So thanks to Mike for giving me this opportunity. Hopefully the upcoming CWS run and the NBA draft will help us get initiated so that by the time football practice starts in August, we're a well-oiled machine. A well-oiled, pantless, Preston Knowles-loving machine.

Is the Dean Pritchard role available?

Don't know about the Cardinal Nine?

You betta recognize!

Get him up to speed Mike, or I am free for a tutorial before 7PM on Friday night………:→

Here is the crash course:

Chris Dominguez and Justin Marks are pimps, and Dan McDonnell is to Louisville Baseball, what Bobby Petrino was to Louisville Football…….

You have it covered now, other than memorizing the intro music of each of the Louisville players coming to bat at JPS…….

I look forward to talking some sports and cutting up with you guys.

Anyone going to the regional this weekend? I will be there for all games, covering the action for my site.

Be sure that you understand no beer or drinkie-drinkie for NCAA hosted games, so don’t get caught unaware. The NCAA taught me that lesson in 2007 for the super regional against OkStU.

Last thing I remember, was the sun beating down, I was singing “how dry I am”, and fell out in the grass from beer withdrawls. Louie the Card Bird had a flask of Dark Eyes Cherry Vodka and revived me. I failed my drug test the next day, but I told them I thought it was Robitussin, a trick I learned from A-Rod and Jeremy Jarmon……..

Pimpin' ain't easy.....
