Jay, I took a quick glance at the TV while Joe Torre was shaking hands with other Cardinals greats. I thought I saw Willie McGee. 

 

When I started to follow baseball in earnest, players like McGee, Jose Oquendo, Daryl Strawberry, Mark Grace, Andy Van Slyke, Vonn Hayes, and Andres Galaraga were the prominent players in the NL East. Back them the Cards, Pirates, and Cubs were in the East. The Braves were in the West. Baseball was great then. It still is.

Gaurantee you saw him The Cards are rich with HOF players , I love the opening days . Yes I remember well.

Will do

• I really like the format now it makes the whole season more interesting for more fans.

[Jay Kirk]

Must be nice to have a 90 mph change lol . Martinez did a good job to get out of inning

[2006Coltsbestever]

0-0 through 1. Nice to see Kyle S. get a hit at leadoff.

[Jay Kirk]

Lester being Lester could be a low scoring game.

[2006Coltsbestever]

This should be a pretty good Pitchers duel.

Martinez lights out in top of the 2nd

[PrincetonTiger]

Whew

[2006Coltsbestever]

Still 0-0, Lester gets out of some jams doesn't he . A double by Kyle S., man is he good.

Yes Martinez needs to go after Kyle and trust his stuff you try to be to fine and get behind him in the count your asking for trouble.

Kyle looks a bit stout for a leadoff hitter. Does he run the bases well? 

[Jay Kirk]

And that's what we got Fowler for to manufacture runs

 

[NFLfan]

I wish the Mets had a player like Fowler. Zobrist is another guy I wish I had on the Mets.

[Jay Kirk]

Contreras good block

 

[HOZER]

. Fowler.

Plenty of game left.....

Cards always tough at home, 1-0 Cards in the 4th.

Believe it or not we had winning record on the road but not at home last year

He draws a lot of walks and is a good hitter, he isn't that fast but he gets on base on a lot, then when you have Bryant, Rizzo, and Zobrist behind him that is pretty solid. Bryant, Baez, and Russell are our speed guys. I am sure Maddon being the mad man he is will tinker with the lineup all season

Yeah that is crazy isn't it? Had the Cards been their usual selfs at home they would've won 90+ easily.

They just said he couldn't see it just now noticed the signgate lol

[2006Coltsbestever]

Still 1-0, Cubs need to find a way to get a couple of runs. We need a long ball with someone on.

[Jay Kirk]

Great story Lester and Rizzo both overcoming cancer

[HOZER]

Wow Bryant, C'mon bud!

[PrincetonTiger]

Reminder

 Everything Will Be Okay

[HOZER]

Bases loaded and he pops up.....Will the real Kris Bryant please stand up?

[HOZER]

I should really be asleep right now......but as the Cubs proved in the World Series, never count them out. 1st game of the season....1st game of the season......as PT says, everything will be ok...lol.
