Series tied 1-1

Game 1: Cards won game 1 with Rookie Antony Reyes on the mound. I was pleasantly suprised by his control and the win. Cards were on target. Nine of us gathered in a travel trailer at Lost Valley Lake and watched the game while eating chilli (we had a chilli cook off- 3 tpes of chilli- yum!). Reception was horrible, we couldn't see where the ball landed on most plays. However, the game itself was outstanding.
Game 2: Tigers came alive with Kenny Rogers on the mound. Jeff Weaver pitched a great game but got zero run support. Durring the first inning, camera's zoomed in on Roger's pitching hand and pointed out a wierd substance on it. It looked like pinetar. By the second inning, it was gone; he had washed it off. Nothing was done. LaRussa did speak with the umpires about it, but nothing resulted from it. Roger's should have been ejected from the game for the suspicious substance. ~Two years ago, Cards pitcher Julian Tavarez was ejected from a game b/c of substance on his hat that looked like pine tar. He was suspened briefly. It was later discovered in a lab that the substance was not pinetar. Why was Tavarez ejected and punished and nothing happend to Roger's?? Umps have got to treat every game and every player the same. If you eject one player for one reason, you must eject another player for the same reason; you can't play favorites.~ By the second inning, the substance was gone from Roger's hand- this proves that something illegal was on his hand; otherwise he wouldn't have washed it off. His washing his hand demonstrates that he was guilty of something and had something to hide.
The series is tied 1-1. The Cardinals are home for the next three games. I am predicting Cards in 5, however should we have to go to 7 games like the NLCS- Cards will win game 7.
Been reading J-Rod's blog and I have been seeing some interesting posts;
*To the Met's fan who said St. Louis fans have no class: It's the New York Met's fans who have no class. Every time a Cards player came to bat they were booed- you call that class?! Met's fans insulted Card's players and said that they didn't stand a chance against their Mets. Also this poster said that the better team did not win. I beg to differ; the better team did win. Just b/c all of the broadcasters were saying that the Met's were going to dominate doesn't mean that they are the better team. The Cards played a better game and that's why the won. End of story.
*To the Tiger's Fan who said St. Louis fans are bad: Just b/c your pitcher got away w/ cheating is no excuse to blame our team of cheating. Leave Mark Mcgwire alone, the man is retired; his career in baseball is over-his time is done. Tiger's fans appeared a lot nicer to Card's fan than Met's fans so kudos on that. Trash talk all you want, but leave the integrity of the players alone.

*Up Next: Game 3 vs. Detroit Tiger's at Busch Stadium 7:00 PM. Cy Young winner Chris Carpenter vs. Nate Robertson.
Por Siempre: Let's Go Cardinals!!
