By Now I'm Sure You've Heard

Unless you have been living under a rock for the last 24 hours, I'm sure you know...

My St. Louis Cardinals Are Going to the WORLD SERIES!!!

 Like the article in the Washington Post says,  No one will ever use the word “classic” to describe this series (NLCS). It is never a good sign when the member of the winning team who gets the most ink is the manager. None of the six games in the series featured a lead change after the fifth inning. There were no memorable starting pitching performances on either side, or even transcendent offensive ones – with the exception of Cardinals third baseman and series MVP David Freese, who singled, doubled and homered Sunday night to complete a 12-for-22 series.

But we'll take the wins and head off to the Championship Series, especially since it was just about a month ago that my team was nearly down and out.  I'm definitely excited for this series and you can be sure I will be watching and cheering on my team the rest of the way.  I think we even have watch parties scheduled for every game already also.  Yes, we take our baseball team seriously.

Let's Go Cardinals!

I wish Joel. But unfortunately as of right now I am not. I will be watching & supporting them either from my couch, a friend's house or a nice seat in some sort of drinking establishment.
Should be fun to watch!

You're no fan ;)

Nice picture, by the way.

But Joel, I lost all of my ticket privileges when I left my former job. :(

And thanks. 1 game down!
