The Japanese opening series in Major League Baseball already occurred featuring the Oakland Athletics and the Seattle Mariners with the completion of their series coming later this week in Oakland.
The St. Louis Cardinals travel to the new-look Miami Marlins tonight attempting to win their first game since being known as the Florida Marlins last season in their "terrible" stadium.
The Miami Marlins have a new stadium and several talented new starters on their team and with the Cardinals losing Albert Pujols to the free-agency then to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim it looks as if Miami has a strong opportunity to win this game.
The Miami Marlins projected starting lineup, and batting order, today is: Jose Reyes at shortstop, Emilio Bonifacio at centerfield, Hanley Ramirez at third base, Giancarlo Stanton at right field, Logan Morrison at left field, Gabby Sanchez at first base, Omar Infante at second base, John Buck at catcher and Joe Johnson as starting pitcher.
The St. Louis Cardinals opening lineup, and batting order, includes: Rafael Furcal at shortstop, Carlos Beltran at right field, Matt Holiday at left field, Lance Berkman at first base, David Freese at third base, Yadier Molina at catcher, Daniel Decalso at second base and Kyle Lohse as the starting pitcher.
The game is scheduled to have the first pitch at 7/6 central time. I will attempt to blog this game as soon as it's done with my impression of the new Marlins and how I think they will be this season.
