The real baseball season began today as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Chicago Cubs in their first match up of the 2009 season.
There's just nothing quite like taking down your biggest rival. Especially when it involves Crazy Uncle Milton going all Crazy Uncle Milton on the umpire.
Yes Cubs fans, it was a ball. Congrats, you should have lost 7-5 instead of 7-4.
It was Chris Duncan doing the damage for the Cardinals, going 3-for-4 with one home run and three rbis.
Adam Wainwright went six innings, allowing four runs and striking out six.
With the bases loaded in the sixth inning, Wainwright struck out Bradley (mentioned above) and forced Alfonso Soriano to fly out to left field to get out of the jam.
Yadier Molina then hit a single in the top of the seventh to break a 4-4 tie and give the Cardinals the lead for good.
Hopefully, this will be a sign of things to come in the 2009 version of the Cardinals-Cubs rivalry.
