The End of the Season

The Cardinals season is quickly coming to an end. They have not played well this season at all. Of course, you can’t blame the team entirely. Tragedy struck the Cardinals more than once. We had Mulder and Carpenter on the disabled list. Josh Hancock died in a car accident. Scott Rolen and Juan Encarnacion are out. (Juan may never play baseball again). The only thing that made this season exciting were the young players such as Chris Duncan and Rick Ankiel. The only thing I, as a Cardinals fan, can hope for is that the Cubs don’t win the division, or at least fall in the first round in the play-offs. Will Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa be back next year? I don’t know. I would like to see him back. I think St. Louis fans know that this season can’t be blamed on him. He played the best hand he could play in a season marked with injuries and death.
