CARDINALS 12 CUBS 9

My Cardinals won their first series against their arch rivals and I'm so glad. To top it off, the Suns beat the Lakers, too. Now if the Rams had beaten the Patriots, I would be too euphoric.

You see I was a Cub in Little League. And that hurt. And then I went to college. Well, I skipped a few years there. At college I met Cub fans and people from Chicago. We didn't much like each other. (Except for my high school buddy, Larry, and I still feel bad for him when the northsiders lose.) When I went to Wrigley once I was mistreated by all associated with Cubdom or is it Cubdumb? And I haven't gotten over it. So I root for the Cardinals and whoever plays the Cubs or Bulls.

And the Suns are just plain fun to watch. Sure, I wish they played a little more defense at times. And I wish they played a few more players, but they sure are entertaining. Would Pistol Pete have made a great Sun or what? Kobie ( I read in the AZ Republic today that spelling Kobie that way disrespects him) and the Zen Phil and the Lakers are too much glitz for me. I liked them better when they were in Minneapolis.

So for me, I'll sleep a little better tonight. But it'll start all over again tomorrow. This fan stuff is tough.
