RIP 2005 Redbirds

Goodbye Cardinals, I will miss you. You're gone until next year, but you were wonderful this year. There is an old saying that baseball leaves you when you need it most.

Well, the loss to the Astros finished the season last night..but this team wont soon be forgotten with the likes of Albert Pujols, David Eckstein, Jim Edmonds, Reggie Sanders, Larry Walker, Scott Carpenter, Mike Mulder and Izzy playing for it. 100 win seasons don't come along very often. So congrats to the Cardinals on a grear year.

And in a sadder note that means Busch Stadium will meet the wrecking ball about two weeks earlier than planned. As I've said before there was nothing wrong with the original Busch Stadium. The new stadium is a monument to the greed of Bill DeWitt and his limited partners.

Farewell Redbirds until next March.
