I am dreaming...I am dreaming of standing along Market Street early next month, as the Cardinals parade down the street with that championship trophy.

If you think the Astros are going to the Series...well, could you please share with me whatever it is that you're smoking?

The Cards had the lowest ERA in the majors this season, gave up the fewest earned runs, the 2nd fewest runs overall and were 5th-lowest in giving out walks.

The Angels are a good team. They can get past any of the teams in the AL...but not the Cardinals.

I'm taking it a series at a time. We did get the Atlanta "monkey" off our back last year. and the cards will most likely beat out the 'stros but it won't be a sweep this time.

oh, and Syc - *holding in smoke* "ear" *passes 5 foot bong*

It wasn't a sweep last year--it went 7 games. Remember, dopesmoker?

Yeah...that sucked ass. But the Sox totally earned that championship, and I have nothing but respect for them.

Go Angels! Whereever they're really from. Do the play at the Big A anymore?

All is not lost...game 5 in Anaheim tomorrow night. I believe the stadium is again known as the Big A...it's gone through a few name changes over the past 10 years (currently, it's known as Angel Stadium of Anaheim).

Ha! I remember when they changed the name, because I was working on the All-Star Baseball videogame and they changed it yet again after we'd already recorded all the announcer commentary for that year. First it was "Anaheim Stadium," then it was "Edison International"... The only stadium that changed as much was Enron Field/Astros Field/Minute Maid Park. I had to stitch together 4 different people saying "Angel Stadium at Anaheim" from other bits of audio.

GO 'STROS! man, yesterday's game. What a game that was! not one but TWO grand slams! a funny thing is that the fan that caught Berkman's grand slam ball also caught the game winning home run ball from Burke! i watched the "first game" at the flight school and listened to the other 9 innings from the plane. ya know, you can actually bounce around in a 172 cockpit quite easily! i was yelling cheering laughing. bring on St. Louis, it'll be a good series!

Great starting pitching performances for NY and LA last night, both guys looked untouchable. They were going pitch for pitch, a couple very cool operators. Leiter is looking more comfortable coming in from the pen now. Hopefully Mussina is ready to go again tonight. If not, I hope Small is ready to stop any early inning bleeding. Go Yanks!
