I've Been Running on Adrenaline for an Hour and Twenty-Five Now

I'm flabbergasted!
I'm elated!
I'm awed!
I'm... almost speechless!

The Cards are going to the World Series, and I've been posting comments on friends' Facebook walls since Wainwright's strikeout of Beltran! Oh, my, what a night!

When we won, I had to leave the room for a moment because I could barely stand it. Seriously, the 83-78 Cards going to the Fall Classic? Beating the best team in the National League in the NLCS? Wow!! This may take a long time to fully get over, and Game 1 of the Series is Saturday night! It might be a little too soon--I need to catch my breath!

A quick rundown of NLCS Game 7 events: Jeff Suppan pitched an awesome game, Rolen came close to homering but didn't, Molina took care of that in the ninth (making the score 3-1), and even though he made it interesting, Wainwright finished what Sup started for a Cards victory.

Yes, it feels good. Let's hope we don't--dare I mention it?--go down in four this year.

Congratulations, Cardinals! You make it so fun to live in St. Louis!

The game was awesome, though slightly unnerving at times
