Opening Day Prediction: PIT 4 STL 7

Once again, I've purchased MLB The Show for my PSP. I love this game. I think it's the best baseball game out there right now. One day, when I get some money and can afford a PS3, I'll get it for that. Anyhow, I'm going to attempt to play the Buccos scheduled game prior to the real world game. I played the Opener on Saturday and here are the results:

Pittsburgh Pirates 4
St. Louis Cardinals 7
Final 12 innings

Obviously the rosters aren't completely accurate. That should change once some players get some MLB playing time. Once that happens, I will be able to download the accurate rosters from the MLB: The Show internet thing and have, hopefully, more accurate rosters. Looks like we could be in for a nice game tomorrow in St. Louis.

Update 4:14pm 4.6.09: The Pirates had three throwing errors in this game. Andy LaRoche, Freddy Sanchez, and Jack Wilson all had throwing errors on routine grounders.

Lets Go Bucs!
