Congratulations to the Cardinals for winning the World Series last night, beating the Tigers in 4 games. It wasn't exactly the most exciting series. The Cardinals played much better than the Tigers, who stopped hitting and stopped playing defense. Justin Verlander made an error last night, giving the Tigers pitchers five for the series. The old World Series record was 3 errors by a pitching staff.

I'm always a little sad at the end of the baseball season (2004 being an exception). It means more than five months until the next game that means something with a long cold winter in between.

I'm sure there will be plenty of hot stove talk to keep us warm between now and then, though!
