Cardinals-Astros Underway

Pettitte hits Eckstein to start the ballgame.

Update: Edmonds walks. Good start for St. Louis, finally setting up Pujols in the first inning.

Update: Pujols pulls a Jim Rice. The pitcher is wild, and he swings at the first pitch. Where Rice would ground into a double play, Pujols pops it up.

Sanders swings at the first pitch and flys out! Pettitte was wild, and these hitters are letting him off the hook!

Update: Walker swings at the second pitch and rolls a slow one down the first base line. Ausmus throws him out easily. The Cardinals blew a great chance to score by being impatient at the plate.

I'm not sure why Pujols swinging at the first pitch when he finally gets up with runners on base is "ironic." It's not even "ironic" in the incorrect sense that people (and especially sportscasters) use the term, to mean "coincidental."

Impatient? Overanxious? Pressing? Maybe. But certainly not "ironic."
