St. Louis starting pitcher Chris Carpenter thought the baseballs might have been sabotaged — “I don’t know if they’re doing this on purpose here … but someone’s going to get hurt” — yet just a few dressing stalls away, teammate Albert Pujols had no such problem:
“I’m not a pitcher, man … I liked them just fine.”
Regardless, there was an Opening Day casualty at Great American Ball Park, Monday, April 5, and it was all Pujols’ fault.
The three-time National League MVP — showing why he is the best player in baseball — hit two home runs, went 4-for-5 and, in part, was responsible for teammate Yadier Molina’s grand slam as the Cards ruined the Reds opener, 11-6.
“There is nobody better playing the game than him,” Cards manager Tony La Russa said. “… You got another example.”
With the Findlay Market Parade, pregame concerts, the flyover of F-16s, nobody does Opening Day better than Cincinnati. And Monday — with 78-degree sunshine, the fifth-largest crowd in GABP history and Reds starter Aaron Harang striking out the first two Cards he faced — everything seemed perfect.

The Pirates finished their 17th straight losing season, while the Reds ended their ninth in a row.
Phillips was the Reds’ only regular starting player who avoided the disabled list throughout the season. He had an RBI double in the first off Jeff Karstens (4-6), a run-scoring groundout and another RBI double.
