Woooooooo! Woooooooooooo!!!! (sorry, still yelling after the awesome Cardinal/Expo game today...) Anyway, (1) the Cardinal fans *cheered* the Canadian national anthem today before the game (you decide what that means to you. I've already decided), (2) the Expos' Hubie Brooks let go of (i.e. threw) the bat so many times in today's game that a message was displayed on the scoreboard stating that fans could *not* keep a baseball bat if one was thrown into the stands... (when I heard this I was almost on the ground laughing.... I wasn't laughing at Brooks, but the message sounded hilarious.) (3) the Cardinals came from behind in all 3 games of the Expos series... (4) yet another of my "east coast teams get the most publicity" things happened today when one of the networks had their sports on (might have happened immediately following one of the football games) and 'mentioned' the Cards win over the Expos. They even mentioned the home run that Tom Herr hit to win the game. But did they show it? Noooo! I'll bet they would have shown Keith Hernandez if he had hit a game winning home run... Sigh. (5) come on I-70 world series! come on K.C., get out of your slump... (did they win today?) My congratulations to Dr. Gooden for his home run yesterday (did someone say it was his first?). Must have been an awesome game if you were a Met fan. Sounds like they trounced the Pirates. Oh well. Enough biased stuff. :-) Craig -- Craig Miller {*}!ihnp4!we53!busch!dcm The Anheuser-Busch Companies; St. Louis, Mo. - Since I'm a consultant here and not an Anheuser-Busch employee, my views (or lack of) are strictly my own.

The midwest has some of the better teams in baseball and yet we are still bombarded with propaganda about the east coast teams. > Oh well. Enough biased stuff. :-) Same here!
