That's a Winner!!

The picture is from Thursday night, but the result remains the same. What a postseason! How about David Eckstein winning the Series MVP? No one deserves it more.

I will post some more about my trip to the World Series this weekend. But for now, Go Crazy Folks! Go Crazy!

World Series

I'm off to game four of the World Series with Roy, Sarah, and Parke. We're going to try to stay warm and dry. I'll get some pictures.

Go Cards!

What really matters

Pat Tillman's brother celebrates Pat's birthday with a stirring commentary on the current political situation. The elections are no longer about who should get the biggest tax cut or who should pay their fair share.

These elections are about the soul of our nation. Remember Kevin Tillman's words.

In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people. So don't be shocked when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world and to humanity.

HELP!

We need a private detective! We need to investigate the inexplicable disappearance of the Cardinals Chris Duncan.

In the ninth, I was waiting for him to come out of the dugout and hit. I thought he would hit for Preston Wilson. But he didn't. We were lucky though. Doug Jones hit Wilson with a pitch. I thought for sure he would hit for Molina. But he didn't.

Tony must have been scouring the clubhouse trying to find him. Surely, he would have used the big lefty against a right hander if Duncan weren't missing in action.

Ol' Abner Has Done It Again

What a game! Baseball is like no other game. The intensity ratchets up on every pitch during a big at bat. There were big at bats a-plenty last night.

Yadier joins the ranks of Tom Lawless as an unlikely hero in Cardinals postseason lore. The young catcher sent us all to bed smiling.

I hope they sign Jeff Suppan for next season. He has defnitely stepped us pitching in big games.

Enjoy the series. It's like the Lasorda World Series ads, I live for this.

Game Seven

There is nothing like a game seven. Of course, I was really hoping they'd pull it out in six. Grab your lucky penny. Squeeze your rabbit foot. Put on your lucky hat and your lucky socks. I'm also going to pick up a lucky six-pack.

We can't complain about the pitching matchup tonight. I hope Suppan can do it again.

It's going to be a long day.

The Frozen Tundra

Shelly and I attended our first game at Lambeau Field on Sunday. It was a great experience. It was football in all its glory. No Dome. No fake grass.

This statue stands outside the newly added atrium. Apparently, this guy coached the Packers for a few years and won a few games.

We saw a typical Packers game. It ended with Favre driving his team down the field. Unfortunately, his line let him down, and the Rams forced a game-deciding turnover.

Favre is definitely not done yet. He made some terrific throws with Rams defenders circling him. He made a couple of throws that only he could make.

Bulger played well for the Rams, too. If only they could figure out how to score in the red zone.

Shelly pretended I didn't exist for about three hours. I still don't understand why.














Here's my brother-in-law, Tom, in front of a mural of his favorite linebacker.

What a Weekend!

What a great weekend! All my teams won! Denver! St. Louis Rams and the Cardinals! The Missouri Tigers rumbled to 6 - 0! Did I mention that I witnessed the Rams game from the friendly confines of Lambeau Field!??!

Tomorrow, I'll have some photos for you from Lambeau. My wife was as giddy as a child at Disneyland.

I sure hope the Birds have another miracle in them this week. Meanwhile, watch this video courtesy your 2006 Missouri Tigers.
