Here is a large metal sculpture that kinda, no rx sorta resembles the stitches of a baseball, decease outside Principal Park in Des Moines, home of the Iowa Cubs:
The name of the artist? James Ellwanger.

At least he got to see “his” Chicago White Sox win a World Series before he died. Now, about the other team he once managed…
The oldest living member of the Baseball Hall of Fame is now Phil Rizzuto. Another Scooter!
Wow, every time Levi’s wife makes a jack-o’-lantern involving a baseball personality, their team with which they’re associated wins the World Series! Levi, how does it feel to be married to someone with magic powers? I hope you’re more accepting of it than Darrin Stephens!
No, seriously, I’m sure Stacey would be the first to tell you there’s nothing otherworldly about her pumpkin carvings. However, consider the following: we started this blog at the beginning of the 2004 baseball season, and since then…
Clearly, the existence of this blog has been a major force for good in the world of baseball. Therefore, I’m considering starting a few more blogs.
Uh, but just for interest’s sake, Stacey, whose face do you foresee rendering on a gourd next October?
Clearly, if the Sox win, Stacey should be voted a full World Series
share.
No reason for me to pause the TiVo tonight. If there’s any good news for Levi, it’s that he can now join all right-thinking Chicagoans (and probably much of the country as well) in cheering for the White Sox.
Well, well, well.
1) That was a nice reminder that what we’re all seeing every time Pujols plays is a Hall-of-Fame career in the making. Cardinals fans are extremely lucky to have him, and we ought to appreciate it with every at-bat.
2) Even were the Cardinals to go on and get trounced tomorrow night, Pujols (and, to give credit properly, Eckstein and Edmonds, who had tough at-bats before him) at least took what had been a frustrating, disappointing series and gave us something we’ll remember for a long time.
3) My brother’s two concerns post-game? He was hoping the construction guys hadn’t started the wrecking ball back in the 7th for Busch Stadium. (Fox had, as their highlight reel of Busch over the years demonstrated.) Second, he wanted to know if Fox had reconsidered their choice of Lance Berkman as Chevrolet Player of the Game–chosen, as usual, in like the second inning.
4) In the 9th, with one out, Barbara Bush–visible all game as a little Boglin head perched just above the railing behind home–started packing up her bag. “Why,” she probably thought, “would I want to sully my beautiful mind with thoughts of Brad Lidge blowing this game?”
Four consecutive complete games? In the postseason? The White Sox bullpen must really suck!
On another note, since Levi has some stuffed animals that he lines up to watch Cardinals games with him, I decided to do the same on Saturday night with my stuffed animal collection…
I’m sure all the birds were rooting for
their brethren the Cardinals, and cats are always in favor of birds running around, and I told Wallace they put cheese on their toasted ravioli in St. Louis, so he was happy — but I suspect Shaun the Sheep was pulling for Mike Lamb and the Astros. I have no idea what Goofy was thinking.

The banner at Petco Park that turned “Western Metal Supply Co.”
into “Western Division Champions” was very clever. Perhaps in New Busch Stadium, the Cardinals can have a legend under the scoreboard clock reading “Central Time” that can be appropriately altered in applicable Octobers.
…why weren’t they throwing out the first pitch before a game against the Yankees?
