The Cardinals have not only made a world series appearance, but they have made a statement...a statement that says "Step off Biatches, we was just playin'...we are the best team in the NL and MLB, don't fuck with the Red Birds or we might murder your family".
Amazing is the only thing I can say about Game 1, Anthony Reyes is the shit.
Lucky is the only thing I can say about Game 2, Jeff Weaver only misplaced 2 pitches that night.
This causes me great joy as I look ahead to next year.
Carpenter, Mulder, Weaver, Suppan, Reyes as starting pitchers....are you kidding me a 5 man bad-ass rotation?!?! And we have the $$ to pick up a quality lefty.
Izzy, Johnson and Wainright in relief, sounds good. Again, we have the money to pick up a quality/proven middle relief and some south paws for the pen.
Rolen, Eckstein, Pujoles, Molina...you don't pull a cog when the engine is on full tilt. We do need a second baseman, not just any second baseman but a young all-star second baseman with defensive prowess and a bat to boot. Sorrie Ronnie, you're fat and slow and getting old...I don't want you here next year. Aaron Miles...I've never liked the look of you and you never seem confident.
Taguchi, Duncan, Encarnacion in the outfield. Sure it's not the greatest, but it's not the worst. Edmonds contract is up and we need to go out and get the best damn center fielder in the game. Convince Edmonds to stay but put him in left or right.
I smell a dynasty cooking, how about you Benny B?

Oh, What A Day!
Long time, no post. To my regular, I apologize...try picking up the phone, Mikey. To you irregulars, why the fuck aren't you regulars?
Since the last post I have spent a week in San Francisco at the World Grains Summit (i.e. beer conference), written several papers, tried to start a grant application, and repaired a peice of lab equipment that I have been trying to fix for 4 months.
The most important thing right now is that the Cardinals are in the NLCS and they have a shot. I have informed all parties in my life that I cannot be held accountable for behavior, responsible for work, or asked to be on time to anything. That's why I like Cub fans, they never have to take the day off to watch the Cubbies in the playoffs, or get "crazy-go-wild" when the Cubbies advance. If it weren't for you Cub fans out there, the world would stop...you guys are important to us and we need to you show up every day and do your job as best you can....really, I understand your pain....but there's always next year. Is that mentality brutal and cruel.....eh, your damn right it is! But seriously, how can you live a life like that?? Play-off appearances in 1945, 1984, 1989, 2003?? You could live a lifetime and never see your team in a world series, let alone win one....oh wait....
On that note, GO CARDS!!
Remeber that they lap the stadium every world series home game!!!
(here comes the king, here comes the old number one...budweiser beer!)
