July 18, 2009 – Haren Returns


Former Cardinal Danny Haren started the game for the Arizona Diamondbacks, in his first appearance against his old team. He pitched 8 innings and picked up the win against his former Memphis Redbirds teammate, Adam Wainwright.

Also of note was Mark DeRosa’s return to the lineup after a stint on the disabled list. Coincidentally, I was at both the game where DeRosa left with injury, and now at his return from that injury. Both times I was hoping to see his first hit as a Cardinal, and both times I was denied.

April 6, 2009 – Opening Day


It was a cold (and just a bit snowy) day at the ballpark, but that didn’t keep me from attending my 2nd Opening Day.  It was a fairly exciting game overall and I was happy to see Stan Musial make an appearance on the field for the first pitch, so that made up for the weather.  Unfortunately the Cardinals couldn’t hold on to the lead in the 9th.
