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!
