Seattle Series
I was in St. Louis this weekend taking in some Cardinals baseball and probably the best game I've ever seen. The chances that I'll once again be in the stands when a pitcher goes 10 innings without giving up a run are very, very slim. The weather was on the nippy side, but I'd rather that than it being on the hot and humid side. Sorry the picture is a bit dark, but it's the best of the lot. Notice the construction of Busch Stadium II in the background.
As far as Cleveland baseball is concerned, they took 2 of 3 games in Seattle. I haven't read one word about the games but know that C.C. got his first win and Belliard hit a 3-run HR in one of the games.
So, at the end of the weekend, here's where they stand:
season record: 8-11
division standing: 3rd (tied with Detroit)
games back: 7.0
The funny thing is, the current stadium is actually Busch II and the new one will be Busch Stadium the Third. Sportsman's Park was renamed Busch Stadium after Augie Busch III bought the club/stadium in the '50s. You'd think they could come up with another name, but oh well, I suppose it's better than "Purina Dog Chow Park" or "Monsanto Field" or something like that :P

I would definitely vote for Dog Chow Field. So, I bet, would Lucy!
