Like his predecessor before him, the Rally Monkey, the Rally Squirrel has captured the hearts and minds of MLB fans, particularly in St. Louis, where the Cardinals faithful hope to ride the good vibes of the little critter to their second World Series title in the last six years. And you know the little guy has finally arrived when MLB gives him his own postseason commercial. MLB.com’s tagline for the video:

The St. Louis Squirrel is proof that anything can happen in the MLB Postseason

Ain’t that the truth. Even so, if you ask me, the entire concept is a bit on the a-corny side.

ST. LOUIS -- Nobody on either side can quite figure out why Milwaukee Brewers All-Star starter Yovani Gallardo looks like a completely different pitcher against the St. Louis Cardinals. "I can't explain it," Gallardo said. But the Brewers ace, holder of a lifetime 53-34 record and a 3.52 ERA, seemingly transforms from a top of the rotation starter to someone Milwaukee...
