I've Been Spoiled

2008 begins with my Cardinals playing my second favorite team, the Colorado Rockies.  The last two National League Champions going head to head at Busch, and I'll be there for tomorrow night's game!

I've been pretty spoiled recently, with my two favorites going to the World Series three of the last four years.  So what if they've only won 4 games in those three series... that's still more than all but two other teams have won in the last four Fall Classics.  But I must say, all this sweeping by the American League needs to come to an end.  It's the Cardinals turn to take a swing at the AL again, and the Rockies can win it all next year.

Not a good start for the Birds this year, though.  It isn't easy to lose a game 2-1 after leading it 5-1, but they did it, thanks to a rainout in what was supposed to be the first game of the season yesterday.  April fool.

This will be a challenging year for both of my favorites, as the Cardinals have a totally different look this season, and the Rockies will be out to prove that last year was no fluke.  Well, at least until the World Series it was no fluke.  But I'm ready to spend the summer watching them both.  Welcome back, baseball!  I'm already spoiled again.
