Pregame
It is going to be a full stadium today for what is the most anticipated matchup of the weekend here in Omaha. It kind of reminds me of a bowl game with a lot of red in some sections and a lot of orange in others.
It is cloudy - has even sprinkled a little bit - and is in the upper 80s as first pitch approaches. The wind is not nearly as intense today as it has been the past few days here, including yesterday when no home runs were hit and a lot of balls died in the outfield.
