Giving credit where credit is due, United Cardinal Bloggers founder and head honcho Daniel Shoptaw Cardinal70 ‏@C70 game up with the Twitter hashtag #cardsplaneproblems. From there it blew up. You all knew Middlebrooksing would get involved (see picture credit Joe Sports Fan).

Cardinals players are playing along with Jon Axford posting pictures, David Freese joking about Imo’s, Joe Kelly having a standoff with Delta or trying to get Adam Wainwright to dance. How could you not love this team?

The following are the tweets I contributed to this phenomenon. They may not all be funny, but oh well:
