YHC is a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, so I was very excited when we named an FNG after Tito Landrum. I was even more excited to see Tito when I pulled up at Rock City today. For those of you not as passionate about Cardinal baseball, Tito Landrum is the man that filled in for Cardinal lead-off hitter and base stealing champ Vince Coleman in the 85 NLCS and World Series. Coleman was hurt in the NLCS when he got ran over by the automatic rain tarp (no joke – check it out here http://www.captainsblog.info/2010/10/13/this-date-in-history-the-killer-tarp-and-the-cardinals-strange-1985-post-season/3161/. ) Anyway Tito Landrum filled in and was the best player on the team for the rest of the NLCS and the World Series. So when YHC saw our Tito there today, I was certain that he could step in if I happened to suffer an unfortunate rock related injury.
The weather was perfect this morning: 50 and dry. YHC barely arrived on time, causing Yankee to start creating a back-up plan. Cobains, I’ll try to be earlier next time.

YHC felt like we had a pretty good pace going today. RY confirmed that we ran 2.1 miles total with the rocks, which is an unofficial Rock City record. I am glad we got in some Mary, as I feel like I have been neglecting her. She served the purpose as I heard RY say she made him forget about Lt. Dan.
- T-claps to Tundra for Larry Birding it all morning even though he had the biggest rock.
- I would give T-claps to Yankee for manning up and carrying YHC’s rock back to the pile, but then I would need to call him out for picking such a little rock in the first place. So I just won’t say anything.
- Great to have another Uptowner out to the burbs, now we just need Metairie to represent.
