+1 on this. I like all of the all-inclusives, but Champions is by far my favorite.

Dislike one thing about it - outdoor seating. I'm 5'9 and I didn't have enough leg room. It was too cramped, but overall it's awesome. In the shade, in or outdoors, drinks until the last out, food basically until the 7, and AC!! The AC is nice come July-August.

I'm doing the Champions Club for the first time on April 30. Looking forward to it, though I fear I may never enjoy a game in regular seats as much after doing it.

Offense leading the league in runs/game. Obviously small sample size, and 3 of our 4 opponents have been bottom feeders, but it's nice to see that stat after the start in Pittsburgh. Guys are really starting to look good all throughout the lineup instead of just a few guys carrying the load. Need wainwright and Leake to get it going now too

Defense is starting to look a little better as well.

I went to the game last night, what a power surge. 6 homers and Carpenter's got robbed on what would have been the 7th.

This interesting. Our offense looks great right now. Do you think we can keep this up? It might have been our weakest area last year (Scoring Runs).

I'm getting tired of Matheny riding pitchers longer than we should, and seriously 4-0 lead and we are trailing 7-4 now. 7 runs given up by Waino. Sorry as writing this it is now 8 straight given up.

Waino is not himself. I'm getting a feeling he could be one of those players when he falls off, he falls off. Hoping I'm wrong

Offense can't keep it up. Scoring at this pace would be a MLB record. I just hope we're in the top 6 of the NL, and top half in all of baseball.

Great win today considering the players we were resting. Fryer was awesome.

Bring on the Cubbies, we are lucky enough to avoid Arrieta and Lester.

I knew we were gonna lose when we didn't score in the 5th. Had our chance and we blew it. Oh well, onto tomorrow.

We will go as far as the defense will take us. Being down 2-0 instead of 4-0 zero after the deflating error, is a huge difference.

We'll see how the rest of the series goes, but this first game was eerily similar to the games in Pittsburgh. Swinging at garbage and committing errors at the worst times.

The swinging at garbage is the most concerning. Get too worked up and antsy up there. Miss the patience

Yep. The only error of the game. So often it seems that when the Cardinals do make an error, it almost always costs them.

Grichuk didn't play last night, Piscotty not in the lineup tonight. Why are we not playing our best lineup in important series like this? Also, Tejada getting his first start at SS.

I know it means nothing, because it's april, but it's nice to get a win today and avoid the sweep.

It means something when the Cards are 1-5 vs. Pitt and the Cubs. Hopefully we get that back to around .500 sooner than later.
