The new Busch Stadium...

I went to the Opener of new Busch Stadium, and also the games against the Reds on Friday night and Sunday afternoon. That stadium isn't done yet, but it's friggin' amazing. Awesome place to watch a game. Friday's game was sweet b/c Carpenter and Harang put on an excellent pitching performance in a 1-0 Reds win, and Sunday of course had Pujols' 3-homer binge. Here's some of the pics we took from Opening Day and from Friday (forgot the camera on Sunday) The ones from high above are from the inside of the top of the Arch (630 ft above ground), and the last ones are from the bleacher seats Friday night when, during a pitching change, some drunk dude in a Cubbies jersey stood up, went to the bottom of the aisle, and starting waving his arms and talking hardcore sh*t on everyone.  The dude in front of me pegged him with about 12 peanuts in a row, and when the inning started back up again and he failed to return to his seat a couple other guys chucked their plastic beer bottles at him.  He was finally booted from the stadium by the ushers and a couple of uniformed officers, but nobody that threw stuff at him was asked to leave.  It was pretty funny...anyways, some of the pics of the stadium are pretty cool so I figured I'd share.  It's sorta Pads related, since they'll play there eventually.:
