Most Holy Father,

The team has returned from the Pacific coast with a 5-2 record after going 2-1 against division foe Cabo San Lucas. The first game of the series was a tough loss, made even more so by the injury to hot hitting outfielder Alex Austin. In the final two games, the offense explained to Cabo management why they should have pulled their starters after six innings. The two seventh innings saw the Cardinals score 9 runs off five home runs including a grand slam by 3B Miguel Ramos.

We were welcomed home by enthusiastic crowds who enjoyed a three game sweep of the Jersey Jesters. The series earned Javier Solis his 8th and 9th saves of the season, likely putting an end to the question of whether he or Brock Maddox would be the Cardinal closer.

Holy Father, please pray that the team remains strong in the coming week. Coming to St Sebastian's Cathedral are the San Francisco Eathquakes for a series that could either confirm the preseason predictions of Boston as the favorite or hand the division lead to Cabo San Lucas or Los Angeles.

I have the honor to profess myself with the most profound respect,
Your Holiness' most humble and obedient servant,

Archbishop William McAllister
