....the real problem I have is that it's hard to go to the game and NOT enjoy a few brewskis...but if I drive, I can't imbibe..it's about over an hour drive home for me..or, I have to take the subway into Grand Central, then switch to Metro North..the couch potato in me is leaning towards staying home....

You gotta go.
Even though the Cards are now only playing for home field, I have tickets to the Sat. Oct 1st game (next to last at Bush, couldn't score the last game) and possibly to the two remaining with the Stros.

My ladyfriend and I will get a hotel room in downtown STL cause even though its a day game and I am only 20 miles south, I will imbibe and don't wanna take any chances.

You have convinced me...that, and the fact that the weather is beautiful, and it will my LAST chance.. ( YIPPEE) to see the wrong Matsui live in a Mets uniform...( the Yankees got Godzilla..we got Kaz..which rhymes with "gas"..which we took on that deal)...gonna take the train out, have an early dinner at Michael Jordan's steak place in Grand Central.. and back home..hope the game lives up to the hype..Will post an after-action report upon returning..
