The first regular season game of the year (played in America) was played yesterday in sunny Miami, Florida. The Miami Marlins opened their new ballpark to a sellout crowd and a national TV audience. The stadium looked nice, their uniforms new, and the fans were a plenty and excited. Then the world champion Cardinals came in and ruined it all. They got out to an early 3-0 lead and managed to keep the Marlins from doing anything. That was quite literal for a while because Kyle Lohse kept them out of the hit column until the 8th inning. The Cardinals win the game, 4-1.
Practically day one and there was almost another no hitter. Lohse does a great job for the Cardinals filling in for Carpenter and Wainwright. Somewhat of an off way to open a new home but wait a while to see how the team will do. We will also have to wait a while to see how well they can sell that place out over the this whole season.
But baseball is officially back... again. Can't wait to see the Giants and the Red Sox in action.
