I grew up on Ozzie Smith, Jack Clark, Willie McGee, Tommy Herr, Ken Oberkfell/Terry Pendleton, Joaquin Andujar, John Tudor, Bruce Sutter/Todd Worrell, Darryl Porter. . .etc. ..
but my favorites were Wade Boggs (until he went to the Evil Empire), Mike Greenwell, Ellis Burks, Roger Clemens (until he went to Toronto. . .. Yanks and Astros are even worse), Oil Can Boyd (before he went crazy), Marty Barrett. . etc.
Dam Mookie Wilson and Ray Knight!!!!!
Here's to a Cards-BoSox 2005 World Series.

Cheers! I have respect for the Cardinals and though we won the way we did, I know they are a great team. I would enjoy seeing a rematch and besides, that would mean the Yanks are out of it again! (you guys could beat out the Mets--well, everyone does anyway--and make Pedro feel like a kid again eating Mangos... Here's to the Cards!)
Anyway, should this happen, then I shall use my
MILES to get out to see the games and that will be a big
SCORE of 2005!
I actually could have gone to a WS game and would have been able a to give someone at work a 35k award trip to Hawaii for the tickets and a stay at their brother's place, but they cancelled the Hawaii plans! Oh well. Next time. Besides, the boos would not have liked this anyway. The sox will be in it again so I know there is a tomorrow and the sox are gonna be there again and again!...
I do have those gift card miles laying around--well, burning them up as we speak, so let the season begin! Anyone know when Cubs tix go on sale? Gotta see the June 10-12 games too!
