Overshadowing

The Cardinals were victorious tonight over the Brewers 6 - 1. As I wrote last night, the Brewers are a bad baseball team. But the performance tonight by Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright greatly overshadowed this fact. Wainwright would have beaten the '27 Yankees tonight. He threw a complete game with 98 pitches of which 73 were strikes. He had 7 strikeouts and 0 walks. He was in total command the whole contest. The first batter of the game doubled on a play that should have been made to start the game. The Cardinals outfielder catches this ball 9 times out of 10 but not tonight. Yes, it was a tough play but it should have been made. This was one of the most enjoyable game/telecasts of the 2012 season. The Cardinals fans celebrated the return of the 1982 World Series Champions before the game and the spectacular performance by Wainwright after the game. Heck, Wainwrights performance overshadowed the 1982 celebration.
