I have not talked about baseball for a long time. Since it is the playoff time now, I am going to talk about it a little bit here…
As most baseball fans may know, the NL favorite team to the World Series was eliminated from the postseason by L.A. Dodgers, the St. Louis Cardinals. Last Saturday evening, I was sitting in front of my TV and staring at the monitor with so much emotion. My love, the Cardinals, had lost two games in NLDS with the best 1-2 punch in the league, Chris Carpenter and Adam Waimwright. This could be the last game in 2009 for the Red Birds. However, despite all of the efforts players and fans had been making, they lost again and literally made Busch Stadium the place to forget.
I saw so many fans tearing, hugging, being disappointed or just paralyzed on their seats and so was I. Even though I should be happy about the Taiwanese boy, Hon-Chi Kuo, playing really well for the Dodgers, I preferred to see him knocked down by my Cards. I had nothing to say and didn’t know why this was happening just in front of me.
On the other hand, in the AL, there is no surprise that the Yanks and Angels advancing into the next round, ALCS. And the damn Dodgers will face the defending champion, the Phillies, which is another damn team too. Haha…don’t kill me if you are a Phillies fan.
So, this week, the NLCS and ALCS are both kicking off. Actually, I don’t really care about who will be the NL champion (since it won’t be my Cards). I am rooting for the Angels (first of all, they have to beat the Stripe Devil which I hate as well) and hoping they will destroy either Dodgers or Phillies in the World Series, which I believe it’s a relatively easy job for them.
Looking forward to next season, for my loved Cards, they have to re-sign Matt Holliday and try to get a contract extension for the King Albert as soon as possible. If they can accomplish both, I have a very strong faith in them that they will definitely and easily win the 11th World Championship for the loving city of St. Louis. Other than this, I really don’t care about what other teams will do. It’s none of my business.
Oh…by the way…if the Yanks don’t want to offer Wang a good contract. Hey…Mr. Wang! Just come to St. Louis and join the outstanding pitching staff in there. Our exceptional pitching coach Dave Duncan will make you even better and give you a chance to beat the Yanks in the 2010 World Series. Also, hey…Mr. Kuo! If you are tired of the Hollywood stuff and want to go to a place who really values baseball. Come to St. Louis too! The Cards and people in St. Louis will make you feel home.
The 2010 World Champion…the St. Louis Cardinals…and the co-MVP are Chien-Ming Wang and Hong-Chi Kuo for the Cards. Haha, sounds good, right? Hopefully it is not only happening in my dream, but really taking place in the real world.
