I was very excited all baseball season knowing I was going to able to go to a Cards/Cubs rivalry game and have awesome seats and not have to pay for them...A perk of my boyfriend's job. So last night I went to the last Cardinals/Cubs series of the season last night...and the Cardinals really look like they have given up all hope of even attempting to fight for a Wild Card spot. The last game we went to was back in August against the Phillies and it was fun, they came from behind to win the game with a few homeruns. Tonight, even with Pujols out with elbows soreness the team didn't try to dive for balls hit up the middle infield or down the third base side. I had pretty good seats to see these easy plays....[caption id="attachment_671" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Pitching pow wow in the 8th"]

We actually left the game in the middle of the top of the 9th, first time this year we left before the end of a game...it was just pitiful. At least football has started. Go Big Red!
