Missouri is in the middle of a contentious Senate race, and it's anybody's guess who will win. In addition, there's also a stem cell amendment on the ballot that is dividing well-meaning people for religious reasons.However, when 50,000 fans show up at Busch Stadium tonight in the NLCS game against the Mets, we'll agree on the same two things:
* We want the Cardinals to win.
* Albert Pujols es El Hombre.
This is one of the joys of sports. For cities, they are uniters, not dividers, something this country could use a little of right now.
And the best thing about actually going to the game tonight? You don't have to watch any political TV commercials.
This, in itself, makes paying $8.50 for a single beer well worth the price.

By the way, anybody who grew up in St. Louis and likes baseball will recognize the photo at right in this post. It's the old popcorn box that, when empty, doubled as a megaphone. It was a gift to me from some friends.
Cool.
joe p-
You won't believe what I am looking at in my office right now -the exact same popcorn containter also given to me by a friend. That one item wraps up my whole Cardinal childhood. It was a treat and a souvenir wrapped into one (in fact I also have a baseball hat with the same mean cardinal logo.) Ahh - memories.
