Baseball Game

  On Thursday we went to a great Cardinals baseball game at Busch stadium.  It was one of the most perfect games I have ever been to; the weather was very delightful, the game was very close until the 8th inning and if we won it would tie up our series with the Marlins to 2-2.  Not to mention how great it was to be sitting behind home plate!

I really like the views from the stadium.  We could see the…

As you’ll see in this video, the game was very close until the 8th inning when we tied the score 3-3. Burkman made a 3 run homer that made us win the game 6-3.

Aug 25-Baseball Game (Cardinals vs. Astros)

I'm obviously not a huge sports fan so I apologize in advance for any errors:
Last night we went to a baseball game at Busch Stadium (est. 2006.) The game was against our Cardinals and the Houston Astros. We (Cardinals) are #1 in the division and the Astros are #3, so we expected a close game. Here are some pictures:



However, the game wasn't fantastic. In the first inning Albert Puj
ols got an RBI and put the score at 1-0 and that was pretty much it. Even though it was a close game and the tables could have turned at any moment, nothing really happened. Our pitcher, Wainwright did a great job and pitched to the 8th inning.
We had gotten an extremely great deal on seats and sat with Kate's sister and father and his friend.
