  • A Real Game Tonight

    The Cardinals begin defense of their championship tonight by helping the newly named Miami Marlins open their new stadium. Kyle Lohse gets the ball for the Cardinals while Josh Johnson goes for the Marlins. The Cardinals also play their first game in a decade without Albert Pujols on the roster. Despite that loss, the projections still expect the Cardinals to contend for the division title.

      I think the Cards, Brewers and Reds are in a three-team race for most of the season. But there’s that 1% chance for the Cubs…

      What the shit? I had no idea there were so many posts in the forum. For some reason I thought it would only last a day and didn’t bother to go back.

      Oh man, I wasn’t going to believe it until I could see a regular season game, but….. MLB.TV thinks I paid for this season but I haven’t. I don’t like to steal, but if you are going to give me something, I’m going to take it. Woo!

      It’s on ESPN and espn3.com anyway.
