    Almost five years ago.

    Kind of a tough, bittersweet month.


    October 3rd. First post season game for redbirds since 1996. Cardinals beat the Braves---first of a three game sweep. 7-5. Ankiel throws five wild pitches and walks six in less than 3 innings, Cardinals win anyway.

    October 5th. Mark McGwire hits his only post season Cardinal home run, helping the Cardinals beat the braves 10 to 4, instead of 9 to 4.

    October 16th. Hentgen loses game five to the Mets. It will be an all New York World Series.

    Mourners gather outside governor's mansion (10/17/00)
    JEFFERSON CITY - Just hours after a plane carrying Gov. Mel Carnahan, his son Roger, and senior campaign staffer Chris Sifford, a handfull of mourners gathered outside the governor's mansion.

    October 22nd. 6-0 Superbowl champion Rams lose to KC---Warner injures finger toward the end of the first half.

            Sweep of Padres. Pujols home run. Nicollette Sheridan's breakup. Jaimie Martin's first victory.

                Rams staying with the run in the 2nd half when behind.
                And, frankly, it has never occured to me that "winning" a debate is important, or that I should be hurt when someone like Airshark or kah, among others (for whom winning a pseudo debate or declaring intellectual superiority over invisible others is obviously very important) ridicule me.

                    Two weeks later, on Election Day, the downhill slide started for everything.
                    “I’ve always stated, ‘I’m a Missouri Tiger,’” Anderson said March 13 after Arkansas fired John Pelphrey, adding, “I’m excited about what’s taking place here.”

                    Asked then if he would talk to his players about the situation, he said, “They know me, and that’s where the trust comes in.

                      Something else sweet about that time:

                      The Missouri Tigers were about to start their second season with Quin Snyder at the helm. A young sophomore named Kareem Rush and a scrappy junior named Clarence Gilbert were about to be joined by a stellar freshman crop that included Rickey Paulding, Travon Bryant, and Arthur Johnson. The future was bright, and that team was good and fun to watch.

                        2005 was the magic year that Ankiel would be back and the Cards probably wouldn't be a real good team, I thought but we would be pretty young and fun to see. I always looked forward to 2005.

                        People don't know how forward I looked to seeing Ankiel be a pitcher in the big leagues again.

                              Almost as much as you looked forward to seeing Ray King be a pitcher in the big leagues again.

                              Look how both turned out.
