That is to say: A championship always means something different to fans than it does to a team. If the Cardinals win the World Series this year, it’ll be a joy to be shared with my fellow Cardinals fans, with my family, with all the souls who followed the ups-and-downs of a Frankenstein monster of a team, one that put it all together for one crazy August and was mostly listless (outside of Pujols, Wainwright and Carpenter, of course) the rest of the way. It’ll be something we’ll always remember.

My week has been nerve-racking, I’m tired from lack of sleep, I feel like crap and I just want to leave work and go immediately home. This morning I decided that I would be watching the game in the comfort of my own living room in my pajamas where I could pace around my small apartment alone and nervous.
But I don’t want to do that. I’d rather pace around the bar with other fans that are pacing and are nervous. See you guys tonight at Mudville.
