This Sign for Rent

rent_our_sign.jpgOne of the new features at the St. Louis Cardinal's Busch Stadium is a system that allows fans to send a text message that will appear on the scoreboard in right-center field for $2.99. That system, however, broke down on the Cardinals on Wednesday night when an obscenity slipped through the screening system and appeared on the board.

The scoreboard was also an issue Thursday. In the seventh inning, the video board in right field aired a live report by FSN reporter Jim Hayes, who referred to the Brewers as "over-rated." The comment caught the attention of both clubhouses and dugouts, and it's believed the Cardinals were making inquiries into how the report was broadcast throughout the stadium.
