The young guard for the Washingon Wizards, Bradley Beal, wasn’t even watching the Cardinals game Friday night when they were coming back on a stunned Nationals teams and their fans, but when we saw the Cardinals won he reached for Twitter. He is from St. Louis after all.
STL turnupppp !!!
…I guess that’s means something to the effect of “I’m happy the Cardinals won.” because that’s how most of Washington-area fans took it, and it did not go over particularly well.

Here’s the crazies going off on Motte on Saturday night:

Fox 2 sucks at Twitter. We know this not because we follow @fox2now, we know this because we found, and now love, fox2nowpoetry.tumblr.com.
Who would have thought Fox2 would be bad at Twitter? Fox 2, KTVI, is/was the home of the famed “Web Center”, but they screw up headline tweets like nobody’s business.

Stop Shooting People in Their Faces You Assholes!
Again. It happened again!
A 17-year-old hospitalized after he was shot in the face.
It happened Monday night near Bryant and O’Fallon in north St. Louis.

Here’s Some Insane Tweets to Joe Buck After Sunday’s Football Game
Poor Joe Buck (@buck on Twitter), he just can’t win. The St. Louis native is always a dick to your team.Which team? Your team. …No wait. Of the two teams that played in Sunday’s NFC championship game, which one did he hate specifically? The one that you liked.
Of course not everyone is team specific. Other’s just have career advice:
Laugh now, but a small part of you thought Buck heaped a little too much praise on Mike Napoli in the World Series didn’t you?
