the entire 2006 st louis cardinals, from the owners down to the last man on the bench

thanks to jock for re-signing jed and the speez, after the pierre and matthews contracts, how good does the edwards signing look now? we have all bitched about the money juan got last year, but how much would he be worth this year?

i want to really give a thank u to tony larussa, he was willing to do something this offseason that we never saw him do before, he relied on the kids in the pen, i just can not see tony in previous years doing that for any reason

i want to thank the detroit tiger pitchers for forgetting how to field in the world series

i want to thank ownership for NOT raising ticket prices again this year

last i want to thank stan the man musial, for being here with us for 86 years, and i hope it is many more

for bringing that Sox magic with him.

I echo those statements, and I am especially thankful for Cardinal Baseball.  It is just one of the few constants that keeps me going day in and day out.

I'm also thankful for the VEB community.  It is always so nice to come here and have intelligent conversation about Cardinal Baseball.  You all kick ass.  Have a good Thanksgiving!!!!

We didn't trade Reyes, didn't drop Weaver when he was struggling mightily and thankful Tony had the cojones to bench Scotty Rolen because he was stinkin' up the joint before Game 3 of the NLCS.

oberman was upset about Jeter not winning. DP wasnt as adament about it, but believed they "screwed the pooch" not giving it to Pujols. Oberman was for howard, although i didnt hear the arguments the day it came out yesterdays were just fine...

Berman makes his case for Jeter by saying even though the yanks are stacked that by midseason Jeter was the only big name on that team with so many injuries and was clutch..again mind you not for AP

I tryed to call in but busy, Wanted to state the irony of Oberman being so for Ryan howard and making Jeters case but leaving out AP who had similar story to that of Jeter...

Didn't listen to all of the people who said he was too small and he didn't have the talent to make it.

that dude sets the the tone and is the man!

im thankful we arent in the al east

for my father passing down his love of the Cardinals to me.

I got to go to Busch III this year, first time in the Lou, but definitely not the last...
Thankful for Pujols, and Speez, and Ecky, and that Pedro M. was injured, and that I got to completely enjoy the total surprise of winning it all,this year, the year I got my StL tattoo, And Pujols, God's gift to Baseball!

My thanks go to my mom who taught me all about Cardinal baseball. She got going with the Gas House Gang. My first memories started in '62. Take it from there...lots of good memories to be thankful for. Love my mom, love my Cardinals & thank you Larry for this blog.

a couple of other things I'm thankful for:
