5th April 2006- The second game in a 3 game series with the Cards. I went with Bret Myers as the pitcher. After dealing with Pujols so effectively in the first game, i decided maybe he wasnt going to be an influence, boy was i wrong. 2 out top of the first. Pujols steps up and blasts a one run home run. I though this wasnt going to be my day. However Aaron Rowand responded by hitting one of his own and the game is tied. As we headed to the ninth the game was tied at 2. My first bad managerial decsion followed. I relieved Bret Myers with Tom Gordon who allowed 3 runs at the tope of the ninth setting his ERA to 27.00. We failed to respond and therefore got our first loss of the season.
