My Cardinals lost.  On Friday night, I got a gut feeling the Giants would win.  I really hate my intuition right now.  But I still love my Cardinals.  Because that's what you do.  My father did tell me, "At least you're not a Cubs fan."  I guess he's right.  Even so, those three games that we won were one hell of a giant Hope Spot.
