So it seems the tables have turned;
This October brought along some new faces.
The Mets simply did not have the endurance
To find themselves in this year's stirring postseason.

Still the Cardinals strove for that re-match
And earned it with the indisputable aptitude
Of rookies and veterans equally,
As each faithfully fulfilled their job on the team.

Pitchers located the strike zone with strict control,
Knowing rather skillfully the batters they faced.
The offense became acquainted with the outfield bleachers,
Reading perfectly the opposition that tested them.

I must admit that the 2001 St. Louis Cardinals
Had what it took to get to this exciting event;
They are undoubtedly worthy of the NL Crown
WHEN they dominate and kick some Atlanta butt!



And did you know with the rain in your pockets,
you can change the weather...

Kris ...
Mark says....
thank you very much and of course its nice to win the bet but whats even nicer is the thought of all the years to come that we're going to enjoy together with and without the bets and of course I look forward to converting you to a Cardinal fan so I can enjoy knowing that youre finally with a winning team.
Being that you honored the bet so graciously I'll back off on the teasing and taunting (for now).
I love you.  

============================

Sure was a lot of "blah blah blah"     hehe

Kris,

Hi!!! Long time no see, my friend.
This made me laugh! Sounds like you
and Mark had some bet. I am glad to
see you so happy and it's great to be
back reading and writing poetry again!
So nice to see you and your lovely
work. Please take care and drop me a line
or two when time allows. Would love to hear
from you.

Love ya
Amy

the rain forever.
Turn all of your pain to pleasure
Fill up your days with
sunlight, make the
passion last every night"

ROTFLMBO - I never make sports bets, never but you were sure a good sport and your poem was great.  I am still laughing at that nutcase Balladeer!
