2019 World Series: Houston Astros vs. Washington Nationals
Gonna have to disagree a bit here. Atlanta was not the same team. The Nationals are just hitting on all cylinders. Pretty sure they would have beat the Atlanta team that the Cardinals faced pretty easily.

Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
We have had Sadie for 2 weeks now. She is absolutely the sweetest, most patient, well behaved dog I have ever owned. In the mornings, I feel her paw nudging me. I roll over, open my eyes, and that's what I see. Then she lets out a slight grunt letting me know that it's time to get up. This sweet girl has worked her way into all of our hearts in a very short time. I hope that I can give her the life that she deserves.

Cardinal Ritter College Prep (STL) cancels season
Small school, but a football power in the state. In Missouri there is no separate 'class' or playoff for private schools. They are lumped in with public schools of similar size. Cardinal Ritter recruits football players, plain and simple. They maintain a small enrollment and compete against public schools that are class 2. It's a screwed up system, but whatever.

Cardinal Ritter College Prep (STL) cancels season
I'm not saying that his teammates should have tattled, but ending their season is not unreasonable. I do think it sucks for the players that are now not going to get to play the rest of the season, but I also think that Cardinal Ritter is doing the right thing. As the mom said, it is the adults that shoulder the responsibility of ensuring that they are all doing the right thing. When the adults failed, then everyone is going to have to pay the price. It sucks, but it's about all the school could do. On another note, I find it highly suspect that the athletic director or any of the school administrators didn't know what was happening. Even I, as just some parent watching my boys' high school games, would know if something like this was going on. I'm not sure if I would say anything, but I do know that if the punishment were to forfeit the remainder of the season, it wouldn't come as a shock to me.

Cardinal Ritter College Prep (STL) cancels season
This was a big story here. While I do feel bad for the seniors on that team, I think it's pretty evident that pretty much everyone on that team was complicit. Also, the entire coaching staff has been fired.

That and I'm surly. I'll probably be surly for a while. Swept, with the first 3 games being historically bad.

2019 St Louis Cardinals
This was an issue all season. Batting average: .245, 11th in NL OPS: .737, 11th in NL They scored 764 runs, 10th in the NL. I'm not sure what the metrics show, but they were not good at all against off speed pitchers. Light throwing pitchers seemed to be their biggest problem this year. Anyway, they have some work to do this winter. Maybe the problem is Jeff Albert. I don't know.

2019 St Louis Cardinals
Wow... I knew the offense was bad, but that was worse than any stretch of baseball I've ever seen in the playoffs. I don't see them getting better in the offseason either because Mo. I guess we'll see, but there is no way that they will go after Rendon (at least seriously) and other than that, there's just not going to be anyone of consequence that will help this putrid offense.

OSU/Iowa, the Lakers/Celtics of college wrestling....
Our high school hired a new teacher that was also a state champion at 195. He is going to help coach wrestling. My senior (285) is pretty excited because he is going to have someone bigger/better to wrestle with and learn from this year. I'm telling him that he really needs to work on shooting and his ground game. If he can wrestle with a bit of small style as a big man, he'll make some noise later in the season. My hope is that he treats the tournaments as ways to work on certain aspects of his wrestling and to not worry about how he finishes. Something like setting a goal for a certain number of takedowns in a tournament. My sophomore is very excited for the season. It's been fun to watch his primary focus shift from football to wrestling. It started a few years ago, but it's in full swing now. He had a rough season last year at varsity because they had him wrestling up 2 weight classes. When the kid that was supposed to be wrestling there finally made weight, my boy started wrestling JV. He was in an odd spot because he was almost too good at his weight in JV, but below average at varsity up 2 classes. It did help his confidence though to rack a bunch of wins, but we'll see how it translates this year. He did have a great summer though.

2019 St Louis Cardinals
Did anyone else listen to the Cardinal radio broadcast yesterday? On Ocuna's double in the 9th Mike Shannon just deadpans "well that's another homerun". Nope, just a double. I swear, he has a way of making me want to do very bad things.
