That's right folks...the MLB playoffs are here!!!! I just love post season baseball and of course I love my Cardinals!!!! Go Red Birds!!!! The Birds open up the first round tomorrow night against Joe Torre and the mighty Dodgers. It should be a great series and I honestly believe whoever comes out of that matchup will go to the World Series. One thing that I love so much about the Cardinals and their manager Tony LaRussa is that he always builds a team of great balance. They have great pitching with Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainright and of course the seasoned veteran, John Smoltz. They have a decent bullpen, nothing spectacular but solid, and great defense at every position in the field. Their hitting is solid with the ability to hit the long ball or just base hit a team to death. Last, let us not forget that they have the greatest player on Earth in, Albert Pujols. Should be a great series and I hope they win it all again this year!!!
When I think of the Cards and their balance in all areas of the game I am reminded of COC. What a well balanced church! We have with great pitching (Pastoral Staff), great defense (Prayer Warriors & Team) and great offense (Lay Leadership & Servant Volunteers). All that is left for us to do now is go all the way and win the big one. Let us go into each game (day) ready to win for Him. Let us all play our parts and fulfill our roles on the greatest team every assembled. TEAM COC!
