Default OT World Series

Got a ticket for Game 5 of the World Series so I'm
driving down to St. Louis to watch Game 4. Hopefully.
The first attempt at Game 4 was rained out last night
so Game 5 tix become Thursday tix and Wednesday Game 4
tix become Friday Game 5 tix. With more rain in the
forecast today and tomorrow there's no tellin' when
these games will be played, meanwhile I've got hotel
reservations all over the damn place.

Ah well, what's the worst case scenario for tonight;
sit around the ballpark quaffing a few Budweisers in
the rain for a couple of hours before they cancel the
game and send us out into the night. No big deal. I'll
be the guy in the Cardinal Red poncho sitting in the
balcony just above first base.

GO CARDS !!

The other day I overheard a girl talking excitedly about how the Detroit
Tigers shirt she was wearing came with a free towel embroidered with the
Tigers logo. I had to remind her that the free towels are for drying the
tears that come when the Tigers inevitabley blow the series.G.

wondering if this will be just another lost hope for us Michiganders.

"Got a ticket for Game 5 of the World Series"

Must be great to always be alone? Hard to find anyone who is at your level?

Yeah, well, I'm sure they'll all appreciate the effort, considering the
historically abysmal television ratings for the last game.

As much as it pains me, I have to say that the Cards played really well and
gulp deserved the win. Not to minimize the fact that Detroit served the
win on an error-encrusted platter, but the Cardinals played well. The Tigers
played like a bunch of high-schoolers.

Congrats, and enjoy it.
