So, we get a look at the new Busch Stadium this evening. It looks like a great park from what I've seen, one with a perfect view of the skyline of this dumpy city. (Take that, St. Louis!) They say it's tough to hit in during afternoon games with the sun, but tonight I'm hoping to see some Reds sluggers send the beautiful little spheres soaring into the Missouri night sky. The Reds have launched 20 so far this year, meaning they're on a pace to hit 360 as a team! Ha, ha. Can you imagine? 
The nasty Chris Carpenter takes the mound this evening for the Cards. Hopefully he'll forget to bring his arm to the ballpark. I wouldn't mind seeing Dunn hit number 6 on the year off of this Cy Young wannabe, a towering shot through the purposeless arch that St. Louis is so famous for. Maybe Harang can continue the sizzling offense of Cincinnati pitchers, contributing to the escalating run total the team has put together thus far in this young season. I'd like to see Carpenter knocked out in the fourth inning, hanging his head as he treks shamefully back to the dugout with a stinging six run deficit.Wishful thinking? Maybe. But first place bragging rights are at stake in this series! ;)

Update: Apparently, there are some scoreboard boo-boos going on at the new Busch, and Cards fans have been booing Isringhausen lately.
