2007
The Cardinals aren't doing too well this year. Especially for World Series Champions. Their pitching is pretty bad, and they're still not feeling much like a team.
This year, Wesley bought me the "Pujols Pack" of 5 tickets for Christmas. (The past couple years, I bought him the ticket packs.)
| Day | Date | Opponent | Tickets | Price | Section, Seat | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wed | 4/5 | Mets | 2 | ?? | left-field bleachers | Great pitching from both sides through 5, but then Beltran hit a home run, and the rest of the game was a blow-out. It was about 37 degrees and windy, but we stayed the whole game, partly because we came prepared. By the end, we were in great seats, because only a couple thousand people were left. Lost 0-10. |
| Fri | 4/27 | Cubs | 2 | $24 | 449, row 10, seats 18-19 | Lost 3-5. |
| Sun | 5/27 | Pirates | 2 | $24 | 449, row 10, seats 18-19 | Sat through an hour-long rain delay. Lost 2-7. |
| Thu | 7/5 | Diamondbacks | 2 | $24 | 449, row 10, seats 18-19 | Went with Beth, because Wesley had other commitments. Won 3-2. |
| Fri | 7/27 | Brewers | 12 | $34 | 270, row 11, seats 20-21 | Went with (extended) family; Marlene was in town for a SABR conference. There was a short (but heavy) rain delay. Lost 2-12. LaRussa put in most of the bench players in the later innings – Taguchi played 2nd for a couple innings, Molina and Duncan played 1st, and Bennett was the only player to play the whole game in the same position. |
| Wed | 8/22 | Marlins | 2 | $24 | 449, row 10, seats 18-19 | |
| Thu | 9/20 | Astros | 2 | $24 | 449, row 10, seats 18-19 |
