What do you mean, the Cubs?!

I can't believe it. This is so surreal. My favorite player a CUB!! All of the Cub faithful have come out of the woodwork in the last 2 days to torment me with this. And there is no way I am going to be a CUB fan for anything. Jim Edmonds in pinstripes, yuck. That guy looks better in Cardinal red. So to all of you Cub fans, have your laughs, after all you think that 100 years is long enough to wait for the ring and surely he is part of the puzzle. But then, every conquest is a so-called part of the World Series puzzle, right?

Anyway, so much for all that. Looking forward to getting to San Diego and enjoying my vacation. I think it will be a blast to be out among the Cardinal faithful--there is always a bunch of red shirts out there in the stands. Hope those guys get their heads up and play like they have some sense.

The last few days there has been little good to say about the men in red. Yet, as I write this the game is on in the background and Ankiel snagged one that was over the fence. Shades of Jim Edmonds?! Actually, I will be the first to give Ankiel his props. The guy has really turned his baseball career around. Who would have thought that the young kid who lost it all in a few days would come back to play center field like a veteran. And pity the fool who tests his arm on the bases--he throws that ball like a rocket. It gives me chills to see him hit the cutoff guy.
