The main thing, for me, was that he made me hold my breath every time he picked up a bat and every time he threw the ball. [I felt the same way when I watched Jermaine Dye play.] For the four games MB was 9 of 18, scored 4 runs, had 5 RBI, never walked and struck-out only twice (game 3).
Placido Polanco MVP -> 9/17; 2 runs, 2 RBI, 2 walks, 1 K

Bradley is competitive, plays hurt. The guy never quit playing. Tonight he ran down a ball in right-center, reached up and back-handed [someone's] ball, jumping off his injured right quads.

At the end of the game he was walking off the field and pointing (I interpreted "saluting") the AL Champs.

He is a stud, Rut !

I hope that is a sign that he has things in perspective. I do think he is a good player he just needs to get his emotions under wraps. I do admire the way he played today.

Peace

Heard Leyland say that if it hadn't been for the St. Louis organization inviting him down for Spring training the last few years, and if it hadn't been for the encouragement of the Cardinal staff, he probably would not have coached this year.

Did you hear on the Cardinal/Mets broadcasts where it was said that La Russa and Leyland are best friends and they talk daily to each other about the game? I am sure that had something to do with the opportunity that Leyland received with the Cardinals.

Peace
