Cardinals Take The Series
Well it wasn't World War III at all in our household. Rachel, Abbey and I were very friendly as we watched the Cardinal beat the Tigers in 5 games. In fact, in game 5 Rachel "felt bad" for Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander and started yelling "strike him out Verlander." However, Verlander and the rest of the Tigers pitching staff, while the best in baseball throughout the regular season, couldn't get it done when it counted.
Congrats to the Cardinal (who have always been my second favorite team)! And thanks to Sue, my mother-in-law, for the Cardinals World Series T-shirt.
Notice, Tigers manager, Jim Leyland. A coach once told me that after a loss; the players grieve for 5 minutes; the assistant coaches grieve for 24 hours and the head coach grieves until the next game...I guess Leyland will be grieving about 7 months!

This will be a loss that the Tigers will use to build on. They have a great young ball club. When Boston swept the Cardinals in the series two years ago, it was a bitter pill. But, it was amazing how that loss helped the veterans in this series. Life is kind of like that. We learn from our losses how to make things better as we go forward. Jim Leyland is a class manager. I hope the Cardinals and the Tigers do it again next year!
Detroit was probably drinking to much aspartame.
