Several people have pointed out to me that our own little team's inspirational icon is headed for the world series this year if they can get past the Giants.  Wouldn't that be a perfect complement to our own two victories this year, albeit at great cost as two of our players were fined for unsportsmanlike conduct.  Anyway, no need to dwell on that.  Good luck to the Cardinals and hooraw for the Miners.  Next year, with our catcher no longer under house arrest, we may do even better. 

And, let's hope Hal can get the election debate stuff restored before election day.
