NLDS Game Two

I was one of the lucky ones who scored Cardinals playoff tickets. So my brother, his friend Andy, my mom and dad, and Melissa and I all went to the game this afternoon. I just wanted to share a few pictures with you.



This is a picture of the new ballpark that they are building. Cardinal brass says that the stadium will be ready for opening day 2006. Yes, that is next April. Looks like it will be a beautiful ball park.



Out with the old (right hand side), and in with the new (left hand side). Dad wanted me to get a combo shot of both the old and new stadiums in the same picture.



First pitch: Mark Mulder delivers a strike to Eric Young.



An exciting moment in the game when Albert Pujols came up with the based loaded. He would eventually walk in a run. Notice all the fans standing... the energy was incredible!



A neat picture of the backdrop of the arch at Busch stadium.

We had a great time. We were in the very top row... but we overlooked the infield, as you can tell from the pictures... we could see everything just fine. The day ended well with the Cards winning 6-2 and taking a 2-0 strangle hold in the series.

Oh I wish we were there! We got snowed on yesterday; it was a miserable, cold, windy, sleet/snow day. But it sure was warm and cozy inside. Weather looks great there! Glad you got some great family time in.

Yeah, here come the Astros...

For the second straight year, the Cardinals are going to have to beat a team that they finished ahead of by 10 plus games in our own division.

This is why I hate the wild card... if you can't finish first in your own division, then you shouldn't be allowed to play for the world championship...
