NBA Sadness and Bliss at St. Louis

The whole month of the NBA in November was wiped away clean to the point of no return.  I remember taping coverage of the festivities which at the time I didn't know it was for the 1989 All-Star game on BET by VHS (tells you how old I am).  Anyway watching Micheal Jordan, Kenny "Skywalker" Walker among other having fun remind me of the times I had fun watching the NBA as a fan even the lockout season of 1998-99 was just as fun not having a gallon of milk at home compare to having almost no 2011-12 season this year while opening up refrigerator to see an empty refrigerator with food and necessities.  My refrigerator isn't empty, used metaphor to show that the money and support from owners isn't here right now as players are eager to play for less but owner care only about the bottom line. 
At least yesterday I enjoyed my final game as a St. Louis Cardinals fan (for the last 15 years) as the franchise win its 11th World Series title in team history.  For the Texas Rangers another season to learn valuable lessons in 2nd consecutive World Series defeat.  Rangers will be back and will close the deal.
