Endless End Of Summer: GOOD MAGIC

But what about the good magic. Our Cardinals finally lost on last week but not by much. They were in it till the end. The night before that Pinero pitched a great game and the night before Wainright and Franklin protected a one run lead. How sweet is that. magine what might happen if they start to hit again with the starting pitching we hve now and the closer Franklin. I am starting to wear my Cardinal hat every day. Breaking it in for the playoffs and beyond. The town has a buzz and you grab your sports page every day just to read some new details. It makes mornings better. And a lot of nights there is a game to go to or one on TV and you get to see if they are going to find a way to win again while the Cubs find another way to lose. The poor Cubs. It is like slow moving death to watch it. But we come here not to bury the Cubs because they have buried themselves. 11 1/2 f=games out. Seriously.... how does that happen?

Ryan Franklin could stop a freight train.
It is time for us to make that run boys and girls. Something good can happen and possibilities are endless. Be afraid Philadelphia... be very, very afraid.

The Tigers...blistering....humiliating...emasculating the Illini. I would say that is looks good for Mizzou but Illinois (and the Big Ten on the whole) were so bad on opening day that no conclusions could be drawn. Sam Bradford going down looks like a break but it looks like he will be back by the time they finish their patsy schedule. Still it is fall and we can dream. 37-9. Wow.

I have the benefit of knowing a lot of talented people. On of them is Dan Kukla. Check out his Blog and see what he has to say. He is going to graduate in December with a journalism degree from Miami of Ohio or Miami University or whatever the hell they call it now. He wrotes about the dreaded red Hawks with a passion. he also has written about his summer mission trip to Vietnam. I cannot read too much about the red Hawks but he did have coffee with Joe Buck and I like to read what he writes. Check it out. he writes well. Sometimes it makes me smile.
