Jack Buck Lives!!

Last night I was invited to the Cards vs Cubs game by my mom's friend (also was her maid of honor at her wedding), it was my first Cubs game!! It was soo much fun. Cubs fans are funny! Their team is 13 and a half games out of it, no chance for even the wild card spot, and they still pray and act like their team is number 1. I don't get it! One of the best parts of the game was seeing the late great Jack Buck sing "Take Me out to the Ballgame"!!! It was awesome! The entire crowd was rivited to the big screen and went wild when Jack put on his Cardinals hat! My other fave part of the game was seeing Izzy nail all of his pitches and earn the save! When he first came into the game, the Cubs fans started cheering (they know Izzy has lost games before). Lucky for us, Izzy was razor sharp last night! Jeff Soupon pitched a great 7 innings and recieved a standing O for his work. Randy Flores came in and did a good job of keeping the Cubs in line. There were some Cubbie fans near us and they cheered whenever the Cards didn't score. Oh well, we all know the outcome- 2-0 Cards!! The place was electric when the Great Albert Pujols came up to bat. Fireworks went off after Izzy threw the last pitch to strike the batter out and win the game!! I had a blast, even tho Gary Bennet was catching...his offense is really improving. Yadier Molina is out with a muscle strain in his right arm...slight case of tendinitis in his shoulder. Click here for the official details and the details on shortstop David Eckstien's injury. I wish both of them a speedy recovery! Go Cards!!
