Song Dedication on the brink.

The following is a song that I love so much, not only because of it's melody, guitar power, percussion, and that awesome Oberheim synthesizer sound, but also of some uplifting lyrics.

This comes at a time when someone needs a lift the most. Who? The St. Louis Cardinals.
They had a good start at Busch in Game 1, but lost it in the second along with a bad fall by Reggie Sanders.
Then Game Three came to Minute Maid Park, and a matchup that included the ultra-powerful Roger Clemens, and another loss.
Game Four was yesterday, and while Cardinals pitching was great, their offense wasn't. The strike zone was as consistent as the staff racing the trains on Racer at Kings Island. I thought the officiating was downright fixed. I can't blame LaRussa or Edmonds for getting ejected. The Astros won that one too.

The album is The Grand Illusion. Performed by Styx, it's "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)." This one is for you:

You see the world through your cynical eyes,
You're a troubled young man I can tell.
You've got it all in the palm of your hand,
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest.
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it.
How can you be such an angry young man,
When your future looks quite bright to me?
How can there be such a sinister plan,
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man?

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it.
Get up, get back on your feet,
You're the one they can't beat and you know it.
Come on, let's see what you've got,
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it.
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it.
Get up, get back on your feet,
You're the one they can't beat and you know it.
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.


Having dedicated this song to the St. Louis Cardinals, I say best of luck! "Show me" you can!
