"People ask me what I do in the winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring." -Rogers Hornsby

Spring IS Here!

Spring is officially here - the St. Louis Cardinals are playing baseball. Not necessarily good baseball, but baseball never-the-less. It's only spring training and good things are being said about Wainwright's comeback from Tommy John surgery. Carpenter is experiencing some neck stiffness so I'm a bit worried there, especially since he seems to be having more aches and pains. (He is getting up there in years.)

But it's the beginning of a new season and hope springs eternal (even for Cubs fans at this point). 

I finally subscribed to Gameday Audio on the MLB network so can listen to each and every Cardinal game (and any other team I want) all season long. Out here in the boonies we tend to lose reception on the AM radio broadcasts when the sun goes down. And since a lot of baseball is played after the sun goes down, we were missing out on a lot of action. So now we just have to turn on the computer and get the live feed via the internet. How cool is that?

Granddaughter Ellie is also ready to root on her life-long favorite baseball team - the St. Louis Cardinals!
