Rik, you have a good team there. I was at game 1 and saw how good they really are. My grandson was there too and the Cardinals were always his favorite, especially Pujols. The big guy hit his home run so that it landed about 20' to the right of him. Made his year, heck - made his young life!
Ouch for Pudge.....Yadi took one in game 2 just like that.

Yeah, the Cardinals are looking real good. They are shutting down the Tiger bats. Bigtime!

That's great you all went to a World Series game.I would love to go to one.

Good luck the rest of the Series.

Rik

To keep my self from faceplanting I put my hand right back down on (you guessed it) the valve cover. Lesson burned!!!
very funny, grats on your pen!
