Hockey Weather For Baseball Home Opener

by Brad Lee on Apr 6, 2009 11:19 AM CDT

As the Blues are preparing to play Tuesday night in Phoenix, the temperature will be in the upper 80s. As the Cardinals take the field to play baseball this afternoon in St. Louis, it was snowing less than five hours before game time.

Stan Musial looks more frozen than usual.

We get that St. Louis is a baseball town. Hell, we even had a baseball paper for two years before we got that out of our system. The snow was a nice reminder that the Blues are still kicking and on the verge of making the playoffs. Friday night's last home game against Columbus promises to be one helluva show. More on that later this week obviously.

Feel free to leave your well wishes for those going down to sit outside and watch the first of 162 baseball games (just think, it will probably be 100 outside by early July!). Or talk about how you have a nervous spot in the pit of your stomach knowing that the Blues have to win and get at least a little help to make the postseason over the next week. Or maybe that's just me...

Fuck baseball

how did they make a sport out of standing around for 3 hours?

You say 'Tomato', I say 'FUCK DETROIT', so lets call the season off

They need to amp it up

Maybe add some cars so they can drive down the runners.

Unfortunately, standing around and hitting things with a stick mixed with driving around doesn’t equal awesome. It equals golf.

Now driving around and hitting things with a stick equals mailbox baseball. That’s awesome.

I think they should amp it up by adding swords or numb chucks

baseball season = summer; summer = blues prospect camp

Fuck Baseball...

Fuckin Steroid cheating fuckers. I have lost all respect for the “pasttime.”

That being said. How I long for the days of fighting for parking during Blues postseason play with the baseball croud in St. Louis. I would welcome that inconvenience now…

I haven’t mentioned if for a couple of days now, so I gotta get it out of my system.

FUCK DETROIT
and
Blackhawks Suck ! ! !

I feel better…
That is all …
(for now).

I don't think for a second

that there aren’t some manner of performance-enhancing substances being used in the NHL.

To be honest

I never saw steroids in the locker room in the minors when I played. Lots of geenies (speed) but no juice. You also didn’t see guys getting bulked up like in football, you had to stay flexible so doing the Hulk thing where you couldn’t even comb your own hair didn’t work.

Hockey is more of a wind thing, at least is was I played eons ago.

Not saying a player wouldn’t use the juice to heal faster, I’m sure have at least tried it.

Nothing but cock in the Detroit & Chicago locker rooms ...

Is that considered performance enhancing?!?

Let's go Blues!!!

I believe in the power of Opening Day.

But it’s still Blues season, and we still have a realistic shot at the playoffs.

With that in mind, I will be listening/watching this afternoon/early evening – if for anything else to see if Albert Pujols retrolistically ass-fucks Paul Maholm five times like he probably should.

Hear hear...

I’m glad that the free preview of Extra Innings is back this year… I get to chill at home with a beer on the couch and watch my other boys beat the shit out of what has to be the absolute consistently worst team in baseball.

And i have probably just jinxed them… but still, snow? We might get some tonight down here, which ruins my spring break plan of planting (legal) herbs. Stupid weather. It’s just as screwed up in Atlanta as it is in St. Louis.

What is this "snow" thing you speak of?

80s and in Bermuda shorts again today here.

by spectr17 on Apr 6, 2009 2:47 PM CDT reply actions

You people suck.

It’s 44 right now here in Atlanta and all nasty looking outside.

But baseball is now on, and I am now happy. Time to crack open a Honey Lager and relaxificate. Go Cards!

I do know...

For a fact that it snows in Redlands…..at least one time in 2006 it did. lol

by DanGNR on Apr 6, 2009 4:25 PM CDT up reply actions

I think I can remember snow here twice in 29 years

and it never stuck either time.

by spectr17 on Apr 6, 2009 11:18 PM CDT up reply actions

Yep, very strange...

I found it fascinating that you can drive 10 minutes up into the mountains and have a few inches of snow while wearing shorts in the valley.
I don’t miss all the fires though.

I wish nothing to baseball fans

Sorry to be a dick but I could give two shits. I am sick and tired of hearing about the Cardinals. They can eat a bag of dicks for all I care. Just as long as they keep bringing attention to STL ;-)
