I wish you were here. I don't mean that outside of its surface interpretation. I really do wish you were here. Most of all, however, I know why you point two fingers in the air. I remember when you began doing it; I remember it was ten years ago; I remember that it was due to Darryle Kile's untimely, tragic death. Albert: you should be here.

In 2002 we had our hearts broken for a second time against the Giants in the NLCS. They were better than the BOB that year.

Here we are, ten years later, ten years after DK...

wish you were here, Albert. That's all. I just wish you were here.

Sincerely,

StL (speaking for myself)

PS- and for all the other reasons why you should be here.

PPS- you have found a nice franchise with Trout and Weaver... good luck to you all, unless of course you meet the BOB in the WS
