As the World Turns

No, I’m not talking about the candy. I’m talking about the St. Louis Cardinal’s. A team rich in history and tradition, not to mention having the greatest fans in the country are truly setting the diamond on fire this summer. After a mediocre start to the season they made some very smart acquisitions just before the trade deadline. With new blood running into the teams veins the Cards have really stepped it up. They currently lead the Central Division of the National League by several games and show no signs of letting up. Between consistently hot pitching by Chris Carpenter, Molina’s gun throwing out base runners and yet another season of forty plus home runs from Mr. Albert Pujohls I can say with confidence that the Cards are going to make this Post Season interesting. Let’s not forget the rest of the fellas on the team and the brilliant management of Tony LaRussa. Having grown up a Cardinal’s fan, drinking from a keg refrigerator during the games, it is seasons like this one that make sticking by my team in the down years worth it. Fortunately, the Cardinal’s are always, at the worst, still decent.
