Game 2 - Top o' the 1st "Live" from Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri

PLAY BALL!

This one will be a nailbiter for sure...

"Power c-an be mesmerizing" - Tim McCarver

"It is not as cold as last night" Joe Buck

Jaime Garcia vs. Colby Lewis

There's the Slo-Mo Clydesdales! Where's the damn arch dammit?

Jaime Garcia looks kinda like Joel Pineiro...who just signed a minor league contract with Philadelphia - Where's Dave Duncan when you need him? In the dugout for this game...not for the 2012 season. That man will be missed in Cardinal Nation.

The umps are all white guys.

Ian Kinsler, also a white guy, leads it off. He will factor hugely later...stay tuned.

First pitch in there for a strike. Garcia has a beautiful lefty delivery.. Grounder to Furcal who charges picks it up and throws all in one fluid motion. I'm gonna love that for another season.

THis is a team, dangit. Jaime Garcia is the second Mexican born pitcher to start a WS game...the first? FERNANDO!

Dodgers beat the Yanks in '81.

Garcia deals strike on to Andrus (called) after ball one.

Albert, an absolutely gorgeous ball player, takes it himself. Two out.

I'll miss you Albert. But your baseball career is now dead to me. Appropriately enough, you are now an angel. Gross.

Josh Hamilton digs in with two out and nobody on. Good stuff.

2-1 after a funky lookin' swing from an obviously injured J-Ham.

Garcia breaks Hamilton's bat, a little floater to Freese - over to first...inning over.
