Baseball season is here: At least for the big boys. Can't tell you how happy that makes me. Had a chance to get to Cards opening day with the Grizzlies crew. We actually got to go twice-thanks to the rainout. We had the pleasure of sitting in the Champions Club. All I can say is congrats to the Cardinals for that masterpiece. All-you-can eat/drink in a beautiful setting. The buffet included some typical ballpark fare, but also some non-traditional food, including pasta and mussels, beef tips, roast pork, barbecue brisket and some great desserts. Some of the best brownies I have ever had. It was great, and that club is no doubt going to be a hit (pun fully intended) for the birds.
As for the team, to loosely quote the movie Major League they don't look too stinking bad. I was part of the group that said that I thought they would be better than people think anyway and after the opening series against the Rockies I'll stick to it. I don't really think they'll compete for the division, but it won't be as gloomy a season as some would have you believe. For the record my pick to win the division is the Cubs. I have the Mets and Indians in the World Series with the Indians winning.
I'll be at the game tomorrow afternoon as well. I am headed down with my father-in-law and his brother. Looking forward to nice afternoon. I am meeting Nationals broadcaster Bob Carpenter before the game. I first met Bob a few seasons ago at a Cards opening day. He has been kind enough to help me out on a number of occaisions. He has sort of become a mentor to me, and I sure appreciate him taking his time to help out a lowly indy guy like myself.That's it from me today. Look for more Grizzlies news soon as we approach our eighth season.
