This is the introductory paragraph. Aunt Deb tells me that I was not very organized in thought in the last posting so I shall endeavor to be more lineal. Due to the nature of this medium to be easily misportrayed and misrepresented, I vow in this posting to not obfuscate facts or be vague in any way. I may or may not be successful.

Holy Smokes! Cards make the series!!! That Yadier Molina has been one of my favorite players since he came up to the bigs. Yea, Pujols and Carpenter rule the Cardinal roost but he's been making a solid mark. I was really disappointed when we lost Matheny. He was such a good defensive catcher and another coach on the field. Molina came in and started tossing the ball around and going right up to the pitchers. It would be tough for a rookie to go up to an all-star and try to either give some help or try to settle them down. My favorites are when he slings it to Pujols at first to try to tag the runner after a pitch and the way he mows down base stealers. Awesome. He couldn't bat to save his life in the beginning but he's turned it up a notch the second half of this season.

Detroit. I thought that the Twins would destroy them. Nope. It will be really tough for the Cards to win now. All the Tiger pitchers have had plenty of rest and are lined up to go. Our guys are going to pitch on fumes. Hopefully, Pujols can still carry the team or it may very well get bad. That Kenny Rogers of Detroit has been lights out so far.

Zach has had a great time with the telephone. He picks it up and shouts out, "Hi!" He pushes buttons, holds it to his ear and babbles. He smiles goofily and runs around. I just hope that he isn't calling Portugal.

Olivia owns a little yellow rabbit. It is about her best friend. She talks to it, feeds it and changes its diaper. It sleeps with her sometimes. Other times it is banished forcibly to the toy room. One time, it fell asleep with her in bed. In the morning, we found it tossed unceremoniously in the middle of the hall. Apparently it was hoggin the covers.
