Congrats Cards

A belated congratulations to the St Louis Cardinals - they beat the Detroit Tigers Friday night to win the World Series. I wish the Tigers had put up more of a fight - well, they at least won one game. They did much better than many had anticipated - and they look to be a force to be reckoned with for next year. As a matter of fact, that AL Central Division looks pretty tough.

But the Cards. After losing so badly in 2004, it was nice that they could win. And to win in their home stadium - that's maybe one thing that would have made our victory in 2004 complete. To win in front of your own fans must be the ultimate WS experience.

LaRussa is deserving of the victory, too. He is really one of the best coaches in the game, and long overdue for a world championship.

But if I have to listen to or read one more story about "little" "spunky" David Eckstein, I might hurl.
