Pick of the Week: The Saint Louis Cardinals

So it might be a little sentimental and cheesy, but my pick this week goes to the St. Louis Cardinals for winning the World Series. It was a amazing! Tim and I invited ourselves over the the Warrens to watch the game b/c there was no way we were going to by ourselves if the Cardinals actually won game five! That kind of thing has to be shared. Nerves were high, pacing and deep breaths, screaming and our own rally towels, (from Leah's bathroom) were all part of the evening. We jumped and hugged and took lots of pictures. It was an unforgettable night, even for Todd who would have had a ticket to the game, had his phone not been on silent. We all cried for him on the inside. I did make a lot of calls after the game to share my joy and excitement with all of my friends who are adoring Cards fans. I called Hannah, who said, she could have been at the game, but she sacrificially gave her ticket to her brother. Webel answered the phone, "I'M AT THE GAME!!!" all horse, and a hint of tears??? Lucas texted me, "I'm euphoric and in disbelief. Triumph of hte the underdog. Way to go St. Louis." Oooohhhh! And what was up with all the people saying, "No one thought we would do it, but we won....blah, blah. I always thought they could win. The "they" wasn't the fans, not the good one's anyway, Doug! Okay that's it. Cheers to an unforgettable win, and all your good memories of the 2006 World Series.
