As I sat here five hours ago writing about how the home team has fallen below one hit a day, I was tempted to take note of the chopper—my personal companion this last week—hovering a mile to the south. And, when I returned, to check the body count, lo and take hold, I find out that one of our fine citizens was so distraught over the possibility of Saint Louis taking the title for the third year in a row, that he went right outside and took one—will, a few, actually—for the home team.

That's what it's like to be in the Big Leagues—boom, just like that and back on track.
