Sorry I haven’t posted much lately. I am now a part of the grand tradition of Oklahomans migrating to California in search of opportunity. I am glad to be going, but it is definitely kind of strange, as I have never lived outside of Oklahoma before (with the exception of a brief stint in KS/NE before I was two). So it will be a major improvement in my life, but it will also be a lot to do and accomplish. Then I have to, for the first time in my life, attend a real honest to goodness university with real honest to goodness smart people. Good times.
In the baseball world, I’ve calmed down somewhat. The Cards are now five games out of first in the Central, but are tied with Milwaukee for the wild card. Carp is back, Ankiel should be back in the lineup tomorrow, and summer will begin to turn to fall, as August is upon us. I arrive in Los Angeles at 3:30 PDT, and the Cardinal game starts at 5:15 PDT. So, I have an hour and forty five minutes to catch a shuttle, get to Westwood, check into my apartment, get what little of my stuff I have into the apartment, get set up on the internet connection, and listen in. I haven’t missed a game in a few months, so let’s hope this doesn’t break that streak. I can’t imagine how awful it would be – but it’s all a day in the life of a loyal member of Cardinal Nation. I may be moving to heaven, but Baseball Heaven will always be the Red Sea on the Mississippi. Go get ‘em, Kyle.
