Some Things Chris Would Link To If He Were Here - by Aaron Moeller
Because Chris is gone this week, interviewing to be the new Senior Pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, I'd like to create the illusion that he's still here and provide some "Chris-type" links so we can all stay current on the day's events, along with mentioning some of the things we've all come to love and/or begrudgingly accept about Chris. (We miss you, Chris, and we're praying that the Lord calls you there!)---
As we know, Chris often comments about his adopted hometown, Des Moines, where he lives because he loves being surrounded by insurance agents due to a blatantly obvious Freudian desire to feel safe and secure. He lives in a tiny apartment near downtown, a few blocks off of ML King.

Chris is also little nutty about the St. Louis Cardinals, whose last two championships ('82 and '06) are no doubt the two weakest World Series Championship teams of the last hundred years. One of their players recently made a stab at respectability by marrying a Miami Dolphins cheerleader. There's apparently no truth to the rumor that they met when he was pitching in a celebrity game and plunked her with a pitch (even though she was sitting ten rows behind the dugout).
---
Chris has some bitter feelings toward terrestrial radio, having once been employed there for many years without a raise. Because of it, he's fascinated (but, so far, non-committal) about investing in satellite radio.

Chris' blog is often nothing more than a lonely, pathetic excuse for him to link a photo of a pretty singer he's infatuated with.

If there is one thing I am sure of is that a Moeller will entertain you senseless. Much like David Lee Roth.
The Cardinals of 1982 peeled off 12 straight wins in April and never looked back. Many World Champions before and since didn't win 92 regular-season games & sweep the LCS, and there's never been another that beat a W.S. opponent that hit three times as many home runs during the regular-season (214-67).
It has been well-established now that the 2006 Cardinals were the same great Cardinals team that averaged 96 wins over the previous six seasons-- when they finally got healthy. They whipped a Tigers team that steamrolled the Athletics, who swept the Twins, the team with the best record in baseball.
Don't fall into the east-coast media's provincial mindset that you have to go through the Yankees to prove your championship mettle. If anything, you should have to go through the Cardinals, the most dominant team of the new millennium, and winners of 60% of their World Series match-ups with the Yankees.
Can we count on "anonymous" to accompany us this year to finally see the REAL Van Halen on tour again?
