Shoot, Mary, I'm sorry to hear this.

I'm starting to think 2019 just isn't the Cardinals' year.

I’m going to all three games if my arms don’t fall off from kayaking the Salish sea.

Going to be boring.

I went to a Minnesota Twins game in Seattle when Sidney Ponson was with them and bought a Twins cap to have Sidney sign, but the first player I ran into was Joe Nathan and I didn’t want to insult him by refusing to let him sign my cap, so I now have a a Twins cap with Joe Nathan’s autograph on it. The funniest thing that happened at that game was went someone at the Hit It Here Cafe asked me if the cap was from Texas Christian University. Later, when Sidney was with the Texas Rangers, I did get him to autograph a game worn Cardinals jersey that I had bought on eBay. But I bought a Rangers cap to get his attention. That’s when the usher took a photo of us together and I took a photo of Sidney that I uploaded to his Wikipedia page. I also own a Montreal Expos cap that I wore to the only Expos game I attended, in 2004, and I had someone take a photo of me in the cap, holding my homemade sign and a Expos Russian nesting doll that I got autographed by Orlando Cabrera. For my Cardinals cap, I’m thinking about trying to get Adam Wainwright’s autograph.

I've decided to wear my Sidney Ponson Cardinals jersey to the games. This is a picture of me wearing it when I first got it. As you can see it is a snug fit. Today I put it on and it is a loose fit. I've lost 50 pounds since January. This is really the first time it's dawned on me how much weight that is.
