Nearing the End

It's been a few days since my last blog, but it's not because I have given up on my Redbirds (although I have).  It's because I'm out of town.  In fact, I still am.  I am in Albany, New York.  I have been all weekend and on Friday, I went to a Yankee game.  But I'll talk more about that when I get home.

For now let's talk about October.

Previously, the Angels were the first team to clinch a playoff spot.  But they are no longer alone.  After a 12-6 beatdown by the Cards over Chicago and Zambrano, the Cubs finally clinched what has seemed inevitable for awhile.  They clinched the central division.  I was in Times Square when I found out.  I was walking through and "Cubs clinch" scrolled by on a massive screen.  Ugh.  What a horrible way to find out.

The Cardinals have on the other hand have reduced their elimination number for the wild card to 2.  Plus, they have let the Florida Marlins jump ahead of them.  So I guess this is the point when we start sounding like Cubs fans and say things like, "Wait 'till next year."

All over but the crying,
