Thoughts on a Day Without Cardinals Baseball

            Lately
the Redbirds have picked up their game. For a moment there it looked pretty bad
as we went from being ranked 1^st in E.R.A. in April, to 3^rd
in May, to a couple of days ago a heartbreaking 20^th. Currently we
are 12^th in June and moving down the rankings with less then ten
days to go in this month.

Jaime Garcia

            Our
pitchers are doing great. I have to admit that I’m getting as excited to see
Jaime Garcia on the mound as I am to see Wainwright or Carpenter. Not only that
but our bats are warming up as well. Matt Holliday seems to been hitting the
juice (cool your jets, the new Gatorade G series, not the dreaded ‘S-word’)
hitting 4 home runs in the past 3 games. God it feels good to be a Cardinals
fan.

            I
will say I was worried for a minute there. Talking to my cousin, a Chicago
native Cubs fan (I think he is adopted), he told me a week ago welcome to the loosing
teams. I didn’t want to start nothing by maybe saying something about his
mother, my aunt and godmother, so I decided to just keep quiet until the Birdos
came out of that slump.

            Tomorrow
we are crossing the border to Toronto for a series against the Blue Jays. I
know crossing the border to Mexico for a series in the beach might be more
interesting, but I have no say in the team’s schedule. But I will say this,
leading the division by a game and a half, with one of the meanest bullpens in
the league and a scary lineup, its easy to see why,

With these Cards, I’m all in
