TELEGRAM FROM ST. LOUIS

NIGHT LETTER
ST. LOUIS, MO 08-24-08

DEAR TONY LA RUSSA STOP
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN STARTED ST LOUIS CONCERT AT 8:47PM TONIGHT STOP
REPEAT EIGHT FORTY SEVEN STOP
THE TICKET SAYS 7:30 STOP
(YES I KNOW HE USUALLY GOES ON AT 8:15) STOP
BECAUSE CARDINALS GAME RAN LATE DUE TO RAIN DELAY STOP
RUMOR IS BRUCE WAS WAITING FOR YOU STOP
PLEASE TELL ME THAT ISN’T THE REASON STOP
I KNOW BRUCE ENDED UP PLAYING THREE HOURS AND 10 MINUTES ANYWAY STOP
BUT THAT’S BESIDES THE POINT STOP
WHAT TIME DOES THE BAR OPEN YOU SUCK STOP
I HOPE WHOEVER STOOD BEHIND YOU SANG LOUDLY AND OUT OF TUNE ALL NIGHT STOP
GO BREWERS STOP

**UPDATE: Debunked by La Russa himself, although I find it hysterical that it went all the way from E Street Nation to the mainstream media.
