WOOHOO!

Tickets for the St. Louis Cardinals went on sale today and I got some! One of the joys of my life is watching my beloved Cards play at beautiful Busch Stadium in downtown St. Louis, and I’ll be able to do so again this year! It only took 2 hours of constant redialing and refreshing but it was definitely worth it. Now I have to wait for Cubs tickets to go on sale so I can see the Cards in Chicago. Too bad they’re not coming to Detroit this year ☹ .

**Birds On A Bat** , do you live in Michigan? I’m bummed that my dear, sweet, beloved, etc. Giants aren’t playing in Detroit this year either. I’m blaming Bud Selig. (He works well as a scapegoat for most everything, of course.)

Oh, well. I’ll have to go see them in Chicago. Oh, darn, a trip to Wrigley, the torture, the torture.

Yes, I’m in Northville, moved here a few months ago from Chicago.

We can always hope for next year (now I sound like a Cubs fan!).

It is torture, but since this isn’t the Pit I won’t say anymore.

I got my season tickets about a week ago. Okay, it’s only the Durham Bulls (AAA affiliate of the Devil Rays), but still…72 home games!
