Let's Go Card-nals!

What a game! What a team! Go Cards!

Yes, for those of you new to following asisaid (now simulcasting on Facebook), I usually have to make my once-a-year sporting comments during the post season (2004 [1 | 2 | 3 | 4], 2005)… and here it is again. I am admittedly spoiled by the luxury that the Cardinals are usually in the post season, of course. Cardinal Nation is excited right now, folks. We've got out boys back in the World Series for the second time in two years and with an amazing first game! 7-2, for those who somehow missed it.

Anthony Reyes really pitched an amazing game in his perfectly ironed cap and long socks. How appropriate: the underdog team (we're always the underdogs, aren't we?) wins the first game of the series we weren't suppose to make it to using a “sacrificial lamb” pitcher. Wooohoo! I say it is time for the Cards to regain the title of World Series champs. La Russa has managed to keep the team's momentum going at an amazing rate for years now, but has not yet returned to the Cards the title we last held in 1982. Let's Go Cardinals!

I might not be the typical sports following type guy, but how can I not love baseball with a team like the Cardinals?
