Last night was not a dream—the Cardinals won the World Series. Share your thoughts and comments here!
It's entirely likely that St. Louis—and for that matter St. Charles County—didn't get much last night. In a Game 7 for the ages, the St. Louis Cardinals claimed the 11th World Series in franchise history. The Redbirds beat the Texas Rangers 6-2 and Cardinals' fan across the country erupted. The Cardinals were dead in the water heading into September. At one point, the Cards were 10.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves for a playoff spot. Incredibly, the team made the postseason on the last day of the regular season. After that, the Cards beat the prohibitive National League favorite Philadelphia in five games. The Cards then dispatched the rival Milwaukee Brewers in six games to win the National League crown. After that, the Texas Rangers …

I can still feel the electricity from last night at Busch Stadium. It hasn't gone away from me, yet. Whoever said "stick a fork in the Cardinals, they're done" 66 days ago, must definitely be a Cubs fan. They're not celebrating today. WE ARE!!!!!   more ›
We can't all make it to Busch Stadium to cheer on the St. Louis Cardinals in the home stretch. That's where social networks come into play.
I'll say it right off the bat: I am not a big sports fan. Yes, I feel a sense of satisfaction when the Cardinals win, especially in the current World Series. I get slightly more excited (and a bit smug) when my alma mater, Michigan State University, beats the University of Michigan in any sport. I am not among those who worship at the altar of sports. I am, however, an enthusiatic adherent of the religion of Twitter when it comes to engaging in real-time conversation. And, I have been intrigued by the ways in which sports fans use Twitter to interact during major sporting events.

Ex-Cardinal Lonnie Maclin will benefit from Rascals game fundraiser.
The River City Rascals are teaming up with Ozzie Smith at Thursday's game to help out a former St. Louis Cardinal player in need. Clayton native Lonnie Maclin, who played in 12 games for the Cardinals in 1993, suffered a stroke in January. The Rascals are asking fans to come together to help raise money for the longtime baseball coach who has no medical insurance. “People who’ve met him love the guy, and we thought it was the right thing to do, having the baseball community helping a fellow baseball player and coach," Rascals President John Kuhn told Patch. Kuhn said $1.50 from every Rascals ticket sold for Thursday's game will go to help with Maclin’s medical bills. Ozzie Smith, a longtime friend of Maclin, gave the Rascals permission…
