Journal #13 My Favorite....

I have many favorite things in this world but, one of my most favorite things to talk about with someone is my favorite sports teams. My favorite professional teams are all from the city of St. Louis. My favorite Major League Baseball team is the St. Louis Cardinals, my favorite National Football League team is the St. Louis Blues, and my favorite National Hockey League team is the St. Louis Blues. Recently St. Louis has been a very good sports town so it is very easy to cheer on my favorite teams if they are winning. The Rams won the Super Bowl in 1999 and made it back to the Super Bowl in 2001. In the last couple of seasons, they have become the laughing stock of the NFL winning very few games, and being winless this season. The Cardinals won the World Series in 2006 and made it to the World Series in 2004. They looked very promising this year but, they played very bad and got swept in the first round of the playoffs. That was a major dissapointment because, many people that the Cardinals were gonna win the World Series or at least make it to it. My favorite hockey team the Blues has a lot of potential this year with a very young core of players. Up until I think 2004 the Blues made the playoffs for 24 straight years, but then they did not make it for four straight years. Last year they made the playoffs again but, got knocked out in the first round. Since they have been bad the last few years except last years, they have got some really good draft picks. Along with these draft picks and free agency, they have built a very good young core of talent that should be very good in the next few years. Overall, it’s a lot easier to root for your teams when they are winning but, they are my parent teams so I always root for them.
