Congratulations to the Bearded Bunch from Boston

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox! You were the better team in this World Series. Here's hoping you and your fans enjoy your championship!  You certainly have worked for it and outplayed the rest of the American League in the regular season, the ALDS, the ALCS and the Cardinals in the Series.

Congratulations to my beloved Saint Louis Cardinals. I am proud of the way you played this year and proud to be a Cards fan. You may have come up two games short of being "Baseball Kings" for the 12th time, but you are champs in my book and many other Cardinal fans.

Go Cards!

Here it is the middle of October and the St. Louis Cardinals are again in the National League Championship series.  This is the third year in a row where the Cardinals have made the League Championship series.  Only one other team in baseball can say this.   As I write, the Cards lead Los Angeles three games to two.  The Birds have been a lot of fun in this season where they have overcome way too many injuries of which to write.

At the same time the Cardinals are making a run for the World Series, my beloved Missouri Tigers are off to a 6-0 start coming off of a huge win last Saturday in Athens, Georgia.  Mizzou went down to Georgia and beat up on the then seventh ranked Bulldogs 41-26.  The Tigers defense came up with four turnovers in the game.  The Tigers are playing the Florida Gators this Saturday at the "ZOU".  A sellout is expected for Mizzou's first home SEC game this year.  Go Tigers!  M-I-Z!!!

And finally the St. Louis Rams are at 3-3 having beaten the Houston Texans last week in Texas.  The Rams are again on the road this weekend against Carolina.  Go Rams!!!

I love October!
