Random Thoughts on a Mid May Day

With apologies to Todd Rundgren..."Hello, yeah its been a while".  It's been over a month since I last posted and I am doing just fine.  I hope you are too.

My last post was that North Carolina would win the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship.  They didn't and Villanova did.  Congratulations Villanova.  You were good.

Now onto something I care about...baseball.  My beloved Cardinals have been mediocre thus far this season.  As I write this they are two games over .500 and 7 1/2 games behind their rivals the Chicago Cubs.  The Cardinals don't seem to have the hitting this year to win the National League Central or earn a wildcard spot.  I hope I'm wrong but at the end of the year I suspect they will be right at the .500 level.

Speaking of the Cardinals the Birds seem to have some power this year but so do a lot of other teams.  I think the ball is juiced and this article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch might make you think the same thing.

Let's Go Blues!  Congratulations to the St. Louis Blues on advancing to the NHL Western Conference Finals.  The Blues eliminated the Dallas Starts four games to three last night with a 6-1 win in Dallas.  Prior to that they knocked off the Chicago Black Hawks in 7.  Up next its either the Nashville Predators or San Jose Sharks.  LGB (Lets Go Blues!)

I will write again when I have some time and will try to make it before another month passes.  Thanks for your patience and thanks for reading.

Let's Go Blues

Three Stanley Cup playoff games are behind us and the Blues are in some deep trouble. The Vancouver Canucks could clinch the best of seven series tonight. I would have to say honestly that the Canucks have been the better team on the ice in all three games.

But, here's hoping the Blues can salvage the game at home tonight and worry about future games one at a time as they are played.

How 'Bout Them Blues!

The St. Louis Blues beat the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight 3-1 and guaranteed themselves an NHL playoff berth for the first time since 2005. The crowd at the Scottrade Center went crazy. Am I jumping on the bandwagon? You bet ya!

LETS GO BLUES!!!
