Cards up 2-1!!

Mets are Pond Scum!! That's right I said it. The New York Mets are in town, and the Cardinals are showing them the "royal treatment". First, we beat them in their own stadium, Shea Stadium (never been to personally-but mom-native New Yorker and Mets fan(grr)- says its really cool). Then we come home and send our ace Chris Carpenter to the mound. Carp didn't get the win but the birds on the bat did. Spezio has been the hero of late w/ two two-out (and well timed) triples). So Taguchi laced a HR to win Friday's game, 9-6. Last night, Jeff Suppon took the mound and showed why he earned a spot on the post season roster. Supp pitched 8 great innings. Supp was flat out amazing! The Cards blanked the Mets 5-0. The Mets were forced to go to their bullpen mid second inning. They took their starter, Steve Trachsel, out supposedly b/c he was "injured" (note: if he is truely injured, then I'm sorry and I wish him a speedy recovery) but I think it was b/c they were afraid and wanted to stop the bleeding. Supp not only pitched a great game, he hit a HR!!! And get this, he winked- he WINKED- at the pitcher not once but twice before he hit it!!! Supp's leadoff HR made it 3-0, the next two runs resulted from a wild pitch and Jim Edmond's grounding out. According to the Cards website, Supp's HR was fifth long ball hit by a pitcher in the NLCS and the first since Kerry Wood of the Cubs since 2003!! Wow! Click here for the official details on last nights game (which was AMAZING!!!) I have been reading John Rodriguez's blog that he has been keeping for the playoffs and decided to post a response. I said that the Mets are Pond Scum and scum was astericked out. I didn't cuss for the record, MLB blogs is just taking it a bit too seriously. Everybody needs to wear red and cheer louder tonight, whether you are one of the lucky ones with tickets to the game, or at a bar, or a home catching the game on your living room tv. Just cheer really loud- you can rest your voice later!! These games only happen in October and in the post season. The Cards play the Mets again tonight and t/m night. If needed they will return to NCY for 2 games. I don't think that will be necessary tho, we're going to clinch in St. Louis and then go give the Tigers (ALCS Champs- congrats) a run for their money!!
As always- Let's go Cardinals!!!!
