My Cardinals

It may be the middle of January, and spring training is just six weeks away, but I would be sorry if I didn't say something about the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals.

There were numerous times throughout the season they could have cashed it in for a variety of reasons, but they didn't. They fought through adversity unlike any team in recent memory, and brought home the championship to the best fans in America!

Their unlikely run through the playoffs will go down as one of the best, and most unlikely, in the history of the sport. The folks in Wrigleyville hated it, and will hate it even more in 2007 when all that cash they spent this winter doesn't buy them a playoff spot.

Even with a couple of spots on the roster yet to be filled, the Cardinals will put a better team on the field in 2007 than 2006. They are the team to beat in the central division.

Viva, el birdos!

Thanks for being my biggest fan.
