He stepped back in, Hrabosky went into his routine again, Madlock went back to the circle, the umpire called a strike when Hrabosky threw the ball to a vacant batter's box, and a brawl was set off.
His routine, Hrabosky says today, he adopted not because he was looking for attention but because he needed an edge.

 Hungo’s Highlights
Hrabosky equates the fact that Marquis is starting game two of the season to him being the #2 starter.  If you say so, Al. 
Al came up with this novel idea as to why the Cards can’t hit unfamiliar pitchers.  They watch so much film of the opposing pitchers that when they have to see a new guy for the first time live, they don’t know how to adjust and “don’t trust their own eyes”.  Anyone buying that?
Al and Dan agreed that Rolen being hurt improved his MVP chances because voters can see his value to the team – while he is out, they are struggling.  However, the two also quickly agreed that Rolen won’t win, anyway.
