and THAT'S a winner...

the first world series i ever remember was in 1985 - the I-70 series between the cardinals and the royals. i was in the third grade and my teacher was the biggest cardinals fan. she taught us all the words and every morning we would stand outside of school and sing "the heat is on" to the rest of the school. we mad construction paper cardinal hats. when the series teams were final - we had a whole school day without any real work. it was nothing but cardinals crafts and seek and finds.

we lost that series. i remember that it was a bummer.

nina's in the third grade. she was aware of the series for the first time this year. today they had a free dress down day for cardinals spirit and she wore her pujols shirt. and she stayed up with me tonite to watch the ninth inning and the cardinals win the series.

it sure turned out better for her.

THAT'S A WINNER FOLKS! GO CRAZY!!

ps. what was that nonsense i read a couple months ago about "the curse of the old bush stadium standing in our way of a world series win?" guess we stomped on that curse real quick!

And we have more WS Championships in our new Stadium than the Cubs have in their "new" Stadium!

You don't remember 1982? Because I sure as hell do. :D
