If Jeff Gordon can do it, why can't Unreal?
3:54 p.m.: Having arrived fashionably late -- Unreal is nothing if not fashionable -- we found our spot in the nosebleed section of the press box just in time to see Rick Ankiel put the Cards on the board with a bases-loaded double down the right-field line. A single by Official 2008 whipping boy Cesar Izturis plated two more, and the Birds erased a 1-0 deficit to take command 4-1.
More as events warrant.
3:58 p.m.: Make that 5-1 Cardinals. Bottom of the second. Albert Pujols just now jacked a 1-1 pitch 385 feet into the vistors' bullpen.
4:01 p.m.: Bottom of the second. It's raining a little.
4:07 p.m.: Just noticed who's sitting next to us. Jeff Gordon! Dueling live bloggers!
4:16 p.m.: Bottom of the third. Izturis draws a walk. It's raining. Like hell! Here comes the tarp.
