Rock on, we've got two important games on today. Scratch that. THREE games as I am counting on seeing the Cubs get crushed (one Cardinals fan could only hope).
Right now -- my boys -- the St. Louis Cardinals are playing their home opener against the lowly-to-be Pittsburgh Pirates.
Through the top of the 1st, Adam Wainwright has already thrown 20 pitches his fastball averaging just over 91 mph. He's got two K's but I'd rather see that pitch count down right now, especially in the cold. I'm praying the 50% chance of rain/snow holds off.
(Sidenote: while this game is at the amazing and beautiful Busch Stadium, I would like to attend a game at PNC Park sometime).
Also, we have Big Ten representation tonight in the NCAA Tournament Championship. I am all about Tom Izzo now, he's too good of a coach. I long for the day Iowa has a coach similar to Izzo. Oh, wait... not going to happen.
(Sidenote: Pujols is batting 1.000 for the season. Boo yah!)
Anyway, while I want nothing more than for the Spartans to crush UNC and Tyler Hansbrough, I have a horrible feeling there is just too big of a difference between the two teams. Then again, the Pittsburgh Pirates' prospects lost to a community college [too funny...].
I just hope that IF Michigan State loses, they don't get hammered like they did the last time these two teams met, UNC winning 98-63 on Dec. 3.
(Sidenote: Two balls hit to Duncan in left field so far, no errors on the fielding *wipes brow*)
+ 0-0 top of the 3rd.
+ Back to homework/the game for now.
+ Redbirds take a 2-0, top of the 4th now. Solid 3rd inning with five hits.
+ Of course the bullpen blows it...what else is new in St. Louis? 2-2 bottom of the 6th.
+ RYAN LUDWICK stepping up huge in the bottom of the 8th sending a first pitch fastball out of the yard. 3-2 Cardinals, bottom of the 8th.
+ David Freese, in his second big league at-bat, gives St. Louis a little breathing room with a sacricfice fly: 4-2 heading into the top of the 9th.
+ Therefore, here comes the infamous Cardinals closer role/probable choke. Let's hope first year closer Jason Motte can finish this thing off.
+ Leadoff double by Freddy Sanchez...Great.
+ There's one run in. 4-3 with 2 outs in the top of the 9th...Seriously, don't blow this Motte.
+ Eric Hinsky comes back from the dead and hits a double?! What the hell...
+ LOL, wow...Motte plunks "Brandon Moss..." AWFUL I SAY.
+ Bases Loaded. I should just turn this game off.
+ Three run double by Jack Wilson. Are you kidding me? I am so pissed off right now.
+ Bottom of the 9th now, Cards down 6-4. This is ridiculous. Ankiel - Pujols - Green due up at the plate.
Pittsburgh 6, St. Louis 4
I'd say unbelievable, but it's just the story of the Cardinals. The bullpen is just dreadful.
