it's hard to be a liberal and a baseball fan. no one who reads this will be all that surprised by any of it, but i have been a pretty die hard bleeding heart weepy eyed tax and spend liberal since the fourth grade. since moving to st louis, i have become a cardinals fan with the fervor of a religious convert (credit that comparison to siouxs!, not me). for game one of the national league series, i was watching the game and listening to the debate, occasionally flipping the channel to check out the american league series. last night, we were fortunate enough to not have to choose. thank you, matt morris, for not doing worse than you did. (knocking on wood 'till my knuckles bleed) cards and kerry: can they go all the way?
