UN-FREAKING-BELIEVEABLE!!!!  i can't believe that THIS is the cards team to win it all!  i don't claim to understand much of anything about baseball any more.

i got married in houston on september 30, and while we were waiting for the wedding to start my groomsmen (mostly stl natives, too) and i were sitting around the hotel lobby watching the cards play the brewers.  we were all cheering for them desperately, in the face of a lobby full of astros fans.  at the time, we were just hoping they'd avoid becoming the new '64 phillies; none of us knew it would lead to this.  at any rate, they won that day, my wedding came off without a hitch (well, other than the preacher catching fire, but that's another story), and the rest is history.  we were on our honeymoon in brazil during the DS and NLCS, but we landed in miami to find out they had a 2-1 lead and i could hardly believe it.  it's been a wild ride since then.  to sum it all up...

BEST MONTH EVER!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATS TO THE 2006 CARDS AND EVERYONE HERE!!!!!

for a very happy night

thanks gary

But our record is 83-79.   That's 162.   Did we win or lose that game?

only owner of a ROAD team in the world series that had FOUR home games!!  Had 50,000 people trapped in the park for 4 hours with nothin to do but drink beer and buy junk

pay us back, owners, and sign some arms and bats

BACK2BACK!!!!!!

wow, he's almost as big a fan as MEEEEEEE

???????????????????????

Mike's retiring, I'm calling it.  Maybe TLR too.

classy guys

In 67, I was a kid and I figured we'd ALWAYS go the Series cause we'd just been there in 64.  I had no idea what it was like to CRAVE the postseason and not get it.

In 68, I figured we'd be back "next year" so it was not big deal.  14 friggin years went by.

In 82, I was crazed to get back, and then to win.

Then we were back in 85 (nightmare) and 87 and I FORGOT the lesson of my youth and I started to take the WS for granted.

it took 19 friggin years to get back, and then it was over before it started

this year, I BELIEVED we would go to the playoffs, and when Gooch hit that dinger in NY in Game 1, I KNEW and the team KNEW they were going to show

I've learned my lesson (twice) and I'll never forget it again . . . never take the WS for granted and SAVOR THIS MOMENT!  We might be back next year, or it might be another 21 years . . . or never.

REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS

Till next year!
Enjoy the Moment!!

Thanks!

NY Jets win Super Bowl

ALL we needed was for some hits to fall in, find some holes

AND WE GOT IT!!!!!!!

News for you Tony - YOU are in the club.  Welcome to St. Louis

DIAGNOSE ME, BABY, CAUSE I'M CRAZY!!!!!!

Can't wait til tomorrow to call my best friend who's a Cubs fan, and rub it in.  Man, Cubs fans must really be hating their baseball life right now.  After the debacle in 03, then to see the Cards reach the Series in 04, then White Sox win in 05, and now the Cards are officially the Best Team in Baseball for 06...I LOVE IT.  Party hard Cards fans (and responsibly) you deserve it!!!!!!

Let's all be happy, because the Cards came through for us tonight.

So, in addition to the entire current roster (grudgingly even Marquis), this title should be very sweet for:

MattyMo.
Matheny
Woody
Larry Walker
Big Mac
Ankiel (if you don't think that guy provided some lessons, you're crazy)
Reggie Sanders

And that's just for starters.

On a sentimental note, my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer last April and given six months to live. The only thing that gave her consistant joy over the summer was Cardinal baseball (particularly the day variety) and my first call was to her when the game ended-because she was watching from her own chair in her own living room.

Thank you, El Birdos. Thank you.

I danced around my living room with my dog, a Yorkie named...Albert.

These socks, underwear, t-shirt and pants are going in the fire!!!  The suit I'll clean, and the Tie is going back on the rack of honor til I need it again in October 07.  And the HAT, fully rejuvenated, is back in business!!!!

And the playoff beard returns to the normal goatee -- if I can still find it under all this HAIR

And most importantly, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD.

I'll clean the stubble up whem I'm sober.

I mean, it's no Buckner, but still, I think now he's at least earned the right to not be spit at.

I love you all.  Good night, we are champions.

I found out from a voicemail my dad left on my cell phone while I was at baggage claim.  I raised my hands and yelled "Yes!".  Must have looked very strange to everyone.

My dad was crying when he left the message.  My grandmother, his mother, had passed away in November 2005.  She was the biggest Cardinal fan I knew.  She was deaf and baseball was easy to follow live and on TV with no sound.  My most vivid memories of her were watching Cardinal games and here laughing in delight adn good plays and cursing blue streaks at poor plays.

This is for you, Grandma.  One of the happiest days of my life.
