WE SAW TWO GAMES ON OUR TRIP, AND THE WORLD CHAMPION CARDINALS WON THE NIGHT GAME AND LOST THE AFTERNOON GAME THE NEXT DAY, BOTH AGAINST CINCINNATI.

IT WAS A FUN TRIP.    CLICK-ON THE PHOTOS TO ENLARGE THEM.

TODAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH, FIVE MONTHS LATER, THE CARDS ARE IN THE RUNNING FOR A WILD CARD PLAYOFF SPOT.

GO CARDINALS!
