Cards' season ends with Game 6 loss in NLCS

Well, I suppose it's back to blogging as usual now that the Cardinals are out of the post-season. Congrats to Houston, I guess - they obviously were pumped for the playoffs, and played better at least in the post-season.

The Chief thinks it would have been better if they had a better sustained record over the season - but that's the breaks of the way the system is organized.

What leaves a bad taste also is the clearly visible (on TV) bad call by the umpire in the thrid inning that took the steam out of a Cardinals offensive move. Again, unfortunately, that's part of the game too.

This was the final game in the present Busch Stadium (the new one will be the 3rd Busch Stadium!). Also it's the end of the Cardinals on KMOX radio. The relatively puny new station's signal can't make it to South Dakota, so maybe it's time to look at XM Satellite Radio or something.

'The Great Game' Returns

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice completed her visit to Central Asia and Afghanistan last week. This is a tough neighborhood, which plays a key role in the forthcoming global game between the West and the rest.

The U.S. has growing geopolitical competition in the region from Russia, China and the global Islamist movement. Ms. Rice is now playing the 21st Century version of the "Great Game" in which, 100 years ago, the British Empire and Czarist Russia competed over the heartland of Eurasia.

What a phrase can evoke - "The Great Game" - recalling the not always glorious days of Kipling and Victoria:

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, And the women come out to cut up what remains, Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains An' go to your Gawd like a soldier. Go, go, go like a soldier?So-oldier of the Queen!

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
