I’m not here to make some sort of claim that all St. Louis Cardinals fans are lunatic drunkards. Wait, yes I am. But the point of this post is these two particular drunkards below.
(Stay classy, ladies)
Meet Bridget Matarazzi and Laura McClure, two fun-lovin’ 25-year-old gals who may have had a little too much booze and merriment on Saturday at Busch Stadium. How much booze? Matarazzi was arrested and accused of pushing an elderly usher out of his wheelchair. Just think: Sometime in the future, some kid is going to run across the photo above and say, “Mom?”
It appears that Matarazzi was also charged with Abuse of Lipstick. From ST. LOUIS TODAY:
Bridget Matarazzi, 25, of the 6500 block of Bradley Avenue, was charged with third-degree assault for allegedly trying to push the usher from his wheelchair when he approached her at a game on Saturday evening to talk to her about her drunkenness, police said.
She had taught social studies and language arts to students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades for the St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic school, a statement from the Archdiocese of St. Louis said.
Yes indeed, a Catholic school teacher. McClure, who was attending the game with Matarazzi, was arrested for “repeatedly hitting a stadium alcohol compliance manager.” Nice.
A warning is hereby issued to Splash, the mascot of the Stockton Ports. Be on the lookout for these fun women.
(Oh no, not Splash! Look out!)

Well, you can rest assured that this is the last we will here of this story outside of this website. God forbid any negative news comes out of the St Louis baseball scene. Because, you know, the St Louis Cardinals fans are the nicest, safest, most respectable fans on Earth. I’m so tired of hearing how great St. Louis Cardinals fans are and how it is the center of the baseball universe and Cardinals fans are the greatest. Once again proving my point: people are drunk moronic idiots whether they are from the Mid-West or the Mid-Atlantic.

I’m born and raised in St. Louis and must agree with Deacon. This whole “Baseball Heaven” thing is braggadocious at best. Don’t get me wrong, the Cardinals are my team, but I’ve traveled many baseball cities and attended games and find great fans in Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Chicago, and even Boston and New York (though they’re over-the-top rude to visiting fans). We’re good fans in St. Louis, but we have no claim to being the best by any stretch of the imagination. And yes, the ownership here goes out of it’s way to quash any negative press - it’s tough when you know that the truth is your like everybody else and must protect/project and image of greatness.

Deacon, where do you think you will hear more about this story? Seriously, two women in their mid-20’s get drunk and act stupid… Stop the presses! Alert the media! Front covers on the New York Times and Wall Street Journal!
you nitwit.

Maybe the writer of this story should have his facts straight before he publishes a story. The usher wasn’t elderly! And its not funny that you are mocking such a circumstance by putting a mascot in a wheelchair and tell him to watch out. Grow up!
