CONGRATULATIONS ST. LOUIS CARDINALS! I AM SO PROUD!!!! What a way to break in the new stadium, which obviously still houses the best, loyal and awesome fans in all of time!
Here's a quote from columnist Bernie Miklasz. I think it is so well said:
"This was for baseball's best fans, who had waited 23 seasons for a reaffirmation of the proud franchise's glorious tradition. It doesn't matter where they were gathered for Game 5. They could have been shivering in the frigid bowl of Busch Stadium, or watching by the fireplace at home, or bonding with friends in a local sports bar, or watching on satellite from a base camp in Iraq, or an outpost in Afghanistan. Cardinals fans live everywhere, existing as one extended family, and they became one nation under a groove again on Friday night, when the power of this Red October pulled their heartbeats together in an electric moment. At 10:22 on the evening of Oct. 27, 2006, rookie Cardinals closer Adam Wainwright struck out the Tigers' Brandon Inge on a heinous breaking ball, sealing World Series title No. 10 with a 4-2 victory in Game 5. "We shocked the world," Cardinals center fielder Jim Edmonds said on the field, moments after the game."

ACK! ACK! FURBALL! We ate em up and spit em out! Kudo's to our WORLD SERIES CHAMPION CARDINALS! I had faith in you all the way even when others doubted you. You just took one extra game to get there. So many nites trying to get ready and leave for work with one ear to the TV blaring in the computer room and sometimes having to listen to 550 AM as I drove. WOOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO CARDS!!!!!! Ya-hoooooooo!!!! I'm so bummed I was on a plane for Game 5 but it doesn't get any better than this!!
I was down at Paddy O's last night watching the game and then got to experince the win very close to bush.. too bad I wasn't actually inside the stadium, but it was crazy down there and oh so sweet!
