It's A Brand New Yard In St. Louis

To put it less eloquently than Cardinals Diaspora, today our beloved St. Louis Cardinals begin officially making people like us — who wax nostalgic about the old Busch Stadium — into blathering old farts. In about five minutes, the new Busch Stadium hosts its first game, with the Cardinals playing the Milwaukee Brewers.

A brand new stadium, with a view of the arch in center field, and eight-dollar beers. It's bliss. It almost makes one forget a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field. Which didn't happen over the weekend, by the way.
