To paraphrase Jack Buck, "Go crazy, MG, go crazy!"

Congrats to the Cards and to David Eckstein. Who would have believed them winning this thing or Eckstein winning the MVP before this all began?

Remember how the Pads were crucified last season for having 82 wins, and being the worst playoff team ever...well, just one more win for Stl, and they won it all...

Just got back from parents' home in Quincy (2 hrs. drive north of St. Louis). Was without Internet access, so couldn't check the board till now...

Pretty emotional weekend, as I waited for my brother & his wife to arrive in St. Louis from Portland, so we started driving a bit after the game started. Had to "watch" most of it on radio, but arrived at my parents for the 9th inning... so it was appropriate start to the weekend. Parents didn't have any champagne to douse on anyone tho Wink

My dad religiously follows the Cards (I get daily email updates, esp. when they win), so appropriate for Cards to come out a winner this year... as they are moving to an assisted living facility in Rockford in a couple days. My dad's main complaint about the location is the MLB coverage... As he says, "To me-- the Cubs are NOT a good substitute!"

St. Louis is going crazy over this victory. The St. Louis newspapers have been plastered tons of Cardinals stories the past few days, and both St. Louis TV stations 4 and 5 pre-empted their coverage of the NFL and NASCAR to bring the Cardinals victory parade to the locals!!!!

Apologies for the belatedness of this, but I've had to tend to some personal matters the past few days. Anyway, congrats to the Cardinals, and to TAP, moviegeegeekjn, and anyone else with St Louis connections/allegences. A truly great season...now the Cards can roll over and let my Brewers have a shot next year. And condolences to McCray. It was a hell of a ride--a lot further than anyone would have predicted last spring.

Congrats to the Redbirds! And to all their fans here on the board.

For those forward-thinking readers, HERE are the current Vegas odds for the 2007 World Series winner.

Something to consider.....the last two teams that fired manager Buck Showalter -- the Yankees and Diamondbacks -- won the title the following year. Keeping with that trend, you may want to book the 50-1 Rangers.

David B · Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 9:22 pm Post subject:

Truthfully, of all the teams and all the odds, I think the Dbacks at 60-1 is the best risk/reward bet.
