Cardinals Game

Since getting married last year, my morning alarm has changed from the pleasant sounds of music on the radio to ESPN's Mike and Mike in the morning show (Joe's request). Hence, my sporting current events knowledge has dramatically increased.  I know all the ins and outs of the dispute between the owners and players in the NFL. I know Lebron James embarrassed himself in the NBA finals. Mostly recently I was jarred awake by Dirk Nowitzki singing Queen's "We are the Champions." I also know he shouldn't quit his day job and start a career singing like the ever popular Kareem Rush recently did. 

I've only lived in St Louis about a year now. However, I've listened to more stories on the news and radio about Albert Pujols and Stan Musial than I care to count. Seriously, when Stan Musial won the Medal of Freedom there was a TV special about his life almost every night and the sports portion of the news was devoted entirely to him every nite for about a month (no exaggeration).  The drama over Pujols not signing his contract this spring reached a frenzy and the "will he or won't he sign" debate went on and on. (Unfortunately it's still not over). However, I'm pretty sure he's kicking himself now that he broke his hand (another fun fact I learned on Mike&Mike's show).

However, it has been refreshing moving to a city where the hometown baseball team is actually a winner (sorry KC Royals fans). I was only 4 in 1985 when the Kansas City Royals last won the world series and were actually fun to watch!

Last nite we enjoyed a nite at the baseball game cheering on the Cardinals with some of our friends. 

Happy Summer!
