WORLD SERIES GAME ONE
Thanks much Walt Jocketty. What a job. Again. What a team he's put together! The additions of Weaver and Belliard were the missing pieces. At the time of their acquisitions no one thought so.

Tied by owners' greedy paws, Walt was restricted financially. But the man knows talent. He's got to be one of the best GMs in history. From the Kent Bottenfield for Jim Edmonds trade several years ago, to the signing of David Eckstein and Chris Carpenter, well, he doesn't miss much.

And don't forget, he's constantly battling with GMs of big market teams for the services of these players. Walt usually comes out on top.

When ESPN was televising the presentation of the NL Trophy, on the platform were TRL, Bill DeWitt, and Jocketty, along with Suppan, I believe. All I know is that Walt was the only one not interviewed.

I don't think he minded. He doesn't seem that way to me. A ham-and-egger, Walt certainly must be enjoying his latest success. But I think he's scouring over free agents and trying to make some deals for next season's run.

GO CARDINALS!!!
