Hot dog.....check....Cardinal blanket.....check.....arm around Albert.....check!!!
And the game begins - RAIN DELAY!! BOO!
So for three innings we got a glimpse of what is to come for the 2008 season. Wainwright looked good - in control after the first inning nerves went away. Skip made a fantastic Edmonds like catch in the first...nice. (Im still in denial) Ankiel and Yadi hitting well I see - Albert, Albert, Albert - your first home run - tear - thats right a small tear was shed. A proud moment to rub in some people's faces at work who keep telling me Albert is going down this year! And then the rain started and it kept coming and I knew the game would be called.
So, tomorrow, the same ritual will be set at 7:15pm - I wonder if its too early in the season to be wearing the same clothes for every game - I would hate to jinx anything!
Let the games begin...again!
Happy Baseball!!

March 31, 2008
Who else is excited? I have the day off and even though I don't have tickets - you know I will be sitting in front of the TV - jersey on - Albert Pujols cardboard cutout next to me - every Cardinal blanket and pillow is already out....Watching the game drinking a BUD!!! (as my dad always says)
I have spent the day reading as much as I can about the team...new players and all. A whole new set of jersey numbers to learn. Something that keeps coming up though is the alleged domination of the Chicago Cubs in the National League. Most sportscasters are predicting the Cubs will BE in the World Series but will not WIN it. I suppose everyone is entitled to the chance!
So join me in raising your glass - Here's to you Tony LaRussa, Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina, IZZY, Rick Ankiel, Adam Wainwright and the rest of the team - may your warm ups be productive - your games played to the best of your ability - and your health always be better than mine!!

It's Gettin Hot in Here
Live...from Jupiter FLA....it's Amy reporting from Spring Training 2008!
Today was the 1st game in Jupiter - we caught them up playing the Mets yesterday.
I'm not complaining. really...but wearing your custom Pujols poly jersey in 85 degrees of pure Florida sunshine - it's H-O-T! Bud Man...where are you??!!
So, they lost today. and I really didn't see much of the game. the tiny tike was ready to get out of the sun (um, yeah, the blanket BlUEA goes everywhere with us, even to the games!) so I watched her bounce in a blowup bouncy thing and eat a red snowcone. Not much of the game.
However - Yadie was HOT on Saturday. TWO doubles. the tike kept yelling 'Scottie is a Hottie'. yeah, we need to work on that.
and my big news! I got my green St Patty's day STL hat! TwO of them in fact!!
I've been wanting a green STL hat for.....YEARS!
....did I mention that my birthday is Tuesday - March 18th?

For The Love of ....

Cards pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training this Thursday, February 14th! That makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Valentine's Day! Florida sun!
I can't wait to see this Colby kid.

Where are all the players going?
OK, I finally went out to the Cardinal website to face up to reality....a chunk of players are gone...Jim Edmonds, Scott Rolen, So Taguchi, Eckstein...who are the new guys?? Do we really know them? Are we going to be able to re-build so that this year we can at least finish ahead of the Cubs? I lost a bet last year and was forced to dress up as a Cub fan for Halloween. It was frightening and I never want to have to do that again.
I think its time to start researching and getting the momentum going for the NEW and IMPROVED St. Louis Cardinals. Come on Ladies - Whose with me??

Tough Decision....no longer
I thought I was going to have to decide who to root for if Cleveland took the ALCS like they were supposed to do.....but my decision was made for me last night. Man, what a couple of piss-poor baseball games over the weekend. I mean, it ended up being a slug-fest. I guess that good if you're a Boston fan - which I am NOT! SOOOO, Here's to Colorado.. I hope you guys got some good rest, because you've got your work cut out for you playing in Beantown.
GO ROX!
p.s. really, if the world series had been colorado and cleveland, would anyone have watched?

Post Season advice...
....a friend asked me if I was going to watch any of the post season play, since the Cards aren't in it this year. My reply 'Of course!' There's some good baseball played in the post season.
She then asked 'Who are you going to root for?'. My reply 'Anyone but the Cubs, the Red Sox and the Yankees'.
well, I've decided who I'm going to root for to take the World Series Champs title away from the Cards. ............drumroll please!
~~~~ The Cleveland Indians. ~~~~~~
Partially because they're midwest. partially because my neighbor is a big Cleveland fan.
p.s. for those of u Cards fan still undecided. you could also root for Colorado. When we visited there a couple of years ago, we found out that up until Denver got their team, many out west rooted for STL. They said they could get the games on KMOX . so you could return the love and root for Colorado.
