And The Season Begins

Yesterday, my St. Louis Cardinals opened the Major League Baseball season playing the Miami Marlins. It was the only major league game played yesterday. And the Cardinals did us proud, winning 4-1 with an awesome start by Kyle Lohse. Kyle went 7 1/3 innings - an amazing and somewhat surprising feat for him at the beginning of the season. Lohse is either pretty good or really bad. Yesterday he was very, very good, allowing only two hits and one run in those innings. Wow.

Mike Matheny debuted as the new skipper of the team. I loved him back in the 90's when he was the catcher for the Cardinals. He groomed "my" Yadi (Molina) to take his place when Yadi was a rookie. He did a good job.

So the beginning of the 2012 baseball season is here and off to a great start. Here's hoping it continues on this positive path and we win another World Series (the 12th) in 2012!
