Good morning, El Vivi Birders, and happy Sunday. It is the 22nd of September, and the Cardinals are in first place. That feels good to type, and even better to say out loud. Now, of course, I have the benefit of a quiet house in which to say that aloud, and while the cats may look at me askance, there is no one who can speak to cast aspersions toward me for saying whatever I want, about whatever I want, pretty much whenever I want. Your mileage may vary, of course; I’m sure there are at least some of you reading this right now who are not in situations to talk about baseball aloud to yourself.
