Brewers 12, Cardinals 7
Okay, I told you guys last night that we were just going to hang out and take in the sights in St Louis without a trip to the ballpark, right? Wrong. We found out this morning that Busch Stadium is sold out for tomorrow night and Saturday night, which precipitated a mad dash downtown purchasing tickets for today's game while tooling down I-70.
So, off we go to the afternoon game between the Lads of Miller (Milwaukee) and the Lads of Budweiser (St Louis) at Busch Stadium. This is the final year for what I will term as Classic Busch. Being built right next door is the replacement, aptly named... Drumroll please... Busch Stadium. Unique, huh?
The Stadium has shown it's age gracefully. This stadium was built at the same time as Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, Riverfront Stadium and Three Rivers Stadium, however it is the only stadium of that era still standing. We sat in the first row of the upper deck, right behind the right-field foul pole. Seats were good, it was 385 degrees at the ballpark (okay, gametime temperature is 98, but it felt like it).
We left in the eighth, when Milwaukee's Best had the game well in hand and went to the St Louis Arch. Got some great photos of downtown Louie. I'll try and work on getting the photos from the last few nights ready to post tomorrow morning. And speaking of tomorrow, we already have tickets ready at Will Call at Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City behind the third-base dugout for tomorrow night's game. All is well in St Louis for now.

Not all, just the tickets for Wrigley Field. May need to come home tomorrow instead of Sunday as the AC at the house is on the fritz. My brother is checking it out (he does AC/heat and is head of maintenance for a new apt complex).
