Go Cardinals...

Rick Ankiel's 2nd home run!

I am very concerned about Troy Glaus....fielding is not great and WHAT is the deal with the hitting with anger thing? Everytime you swing and miss you pound the bat into the dirt - RELAX become one w/the ball and make contact with the bat!!

Before the SERIES begins

AMY
When push comes to shove...
Are you rooting for the Cardinals OR the Nationals?

Guess who's coming to town...

RYAN ZIMMERMAN!



Hey guys, it's the tike here. I've taken over my mom's account and want to let all of you Cardinals fans know that one AWESOME player is going be rocking your house all weekend long! He's my favorite...watch for him. Number 'Eleven Eleven'. Consider yourself warned!

VERY NICE!!

Some nice hitting tonight huh....

Whose the crazy man now?

April 1 - no JOKE

Have to admit I'm a little bummed tonight! Tough loss. A few observations....

-Troy Glaus....if you are going to stay at 3rd I suggest we work on the side arm throw a little bit over the next couple days. AND spit out the freakin chew!! (we all know how I feel about chew)

-Kennedy at 2nd - a little more comfortable with Kennedy vs Miles

-Albert - since when did you start hitting the first pitch thrown....you didn't do that last year and I see no reason to start now....relax dude. Am I right with the BLING?

-McClellan - not bad for your opening day

-Lohse - I liked what I saw - good start - keep it up!!

-IZZY - You are still my favorite!

And last but not least - YADI! YADI! YADI! WOO HOO! Now if we can just get the announcers to stop saying "He lost so much weight he barely got that over the wall" What the heck is that about?

Until we meet again tomorrow Colorado Rockies - hope you all sleep with one eye open??!!

Happy Baseball!

AHHHHHHHH!!

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!!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

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?
