Barb's Burblings

Your 2006 World Champions

Congrats to the St. Louis Cardinals! Since I had no personal stake in either the Tigers or the Cardinals, and since I had just gone to St. Louis and enjoyed my time there, I decided to pull for the Cards. Naturally, I was quite pleased to see them win it--in 5!--on Friday night.

And cute little David Eckstein won the MVP. Here's a nice article from ESPN on why more players should be like Eckstein--and Brian. (Though it doesn't mention Brian, but they're very similar, as is evidenced by Brian also being nominated for what the folks at Fire Joe Morgan call "the David Eckstein Memorial Ecksteiniest Eckstein of the Year Eck-ward.")
