Opening Day! Yes! The 2008 MLB season is officially here! The St. Louis Cardinals, who come in as a huge underdog, will open up their season Monday at home, against the defending National League Champion- Colorado Rockies. The Rockies will throw lefthander, Jeff Francis, while the Cardinals throw fireballer Adam Wainwright. This should be a good ball game. Let’s take a look at how Albert has done against the Rockies, and Francis:

Career v. Rockies:

47 games
161 at bats
56 hits
41 runs
10 doubles
17 homeruns
45 rbi’s
30 walks
10 strikeouts
.348 career average

So the man is hitting .348! Woah. Time to dominate the Rockies this week.

Career against Jeff Francis:

9 at bats
3 hits
1 double
0 homeruns
0 rbi’s
6 walks
1 strikeout
.333 career average

Okay, so Francis has done pretty well against El Hombre. It’s time to change those numbers. We say the Cardinals win a 8-3 ball game, while Albert goes 3-5 with a homerun and 3 rbi’s. A little bias for opening day? Probably, but it’s time for AP to dominate!
