[Rhodes22-list] politics- Stan ought to tell Steve why

Tue Oct 26 11:41:05 EDT 2004

The Midwest must exist, The Cards are in the World Series, I still believe 
that they will win.  New York is all talk, no results. As far as profesional 
sports go, I am not sure NY exist.  There are just two coasts now Bahstin 
and St. Louis.

Go Cards
