Go Cardinals!

Yes...believe it or not, this is an update to my blog. After a couple months of internet connection woes, laziness, and lack of interest, I am back with a post on the blog. The boating season is winding down, but there is still plenty to talk about. The wife and I (along with Mindy) made it out on the river Sunday. It was a gorgeous day...high of about 87...and it turned out to be a relaxing trip. Not sure if we'll get the Tahoe out again this year, but will sure try.

Anyway, today begins the first day of the 2006 MLB Postseason. Eight team vying for the title of World Champions, and of course, the St. Louis Cardinals are back in the running again. Sure...the team is not as promising this year as the last couple of years, but I've definitely seen worse teams shine this time of year and make it all the way. Their first opponent is the San Diego Padres. The Padres are a strong team and have had some great pitching the last month to bring them into the postseason with some spark. Let's hope the Cards get some timely pitching of their own and some key hits to defeat the NL West Champions.

I'll try to keep this blog updated as much as possible. I have just recently upgraded my internet to a high-speed 3mb connection so I should be able to spend less time logging on a updating a post. The boating offseason posts may consist of dart league updates, MLB Postseason and offseason news, randon useless knowledge, and probably some boating articles to keep us yearning for the 2007 summer to arrive. And you never know, I may dig into my 2006 archives of pictures (that I never posted) and throw some out there to reminisce. That's it for now. I'll post with you later. Go Cards!
