I had a great time at the Cardinals game tonight. The Cardinals had a great time at the game too, winning 7-2 over the at-least-for-tonight hapless Cincinnati Reds. Joel Piñeiro held the Reds in check for 7 scoreless innings. Ron Villone and Anthony Reyes finished up, with Reyes ruining the shutout by tossing one errant pitch that landed over the center field wall. The Reds started off poorly with a Keystone Kops-style base running play that killed the momentum they were building. Troy Glaus notched a Little League home run, circling the bases after a Reds outfielder misplayed his double. I think he's still running as I write this.
The suite experience was nice. I consumed a hot dog and 2 plates of nachos, a soft pretzel, and some Blue Bunny Screamer ice cream. Free food does, in fact, taste better. Especially when the home team is winning.
I posted some pictures here.
Oh, and during the game I worried a bit about having to walk back to my car afterwards. I parked in a lot 5 blocks away from the stadium and even if I stayed with the crowd, well, you just never know. Well, as I'm walking away from the stadium, who do I find in front of me but one of the pastors from my church, his wife, and another couple whom I know! They were parked in the same lot as me so we all walked together in safety. Thanks, God!

Some of my co-workers and I were guests of the Post-Dispatch advertising division. It's our company suite, not real big but really nice. Usually they use it to entertain advertising clients but once in a while they invite other divisions in enjoy a game.
