Once again, the font size for the title field on The Blog Page is too small. So let's try this:
GO CARDS!
Much, much better!
Congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals for their first National League pennant since 1987. Seventeen years seems like a long time between World Series visits, but that's nothing compared with the agony suffered by fans of the Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs.
So many heroes. So little space. Of course, there's the big heroes like Albert Pujols, Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds. All three came up big in Game 7. Then there are the "lesser" heroes like Roger Cedeno, Jeff Suppan and Julian Tavarez. They came up big as well.
Then, there is Jason Isringhausen, The Pride of Brighton, Illinois. As a native of Brighton, I appointed Jason as The Pride of Brighton, Illinois, among my Belleville News-Democrat colleagues. In the rare cases when he blows a save, I get to take the title back. But with his performance in Game 7, I am most happy to return the title to Jason.
Congratulations, too, to the Houston Astros for a great season. The Astros came back from the dead to get to the playoffs, and they gave the Cardinals all they could handle. I definitely pulled for the Astros to beat the Cubs for the NL Wild Card spot, and I definitely cheered for the Astros to beat the Braves in the Division Series.
