... to be a Cards fan.

First Jack Buck, now Darryl Kile. One was expected, the other not. I'm in total shock and I've felt like jello most of the day.

This sucks bad. I was looking forward to that game today. Certainly my thoughts go out to Kile's real family as well as his baseball family. I've followed his career for many years, and it only seems ever since he put the Birds on the Bat across his chest was he flourishing again after those down years in Colorado.

The St. Louis Cardinals pennant at Turner Field flies at half-staff Saturday in memory of pitcher Darryl Kile, found dead earlier in the day in his Chicago hotel room. The Braves and White Sox met Saturday night in the second game of the weekend series

RIP Darryl
