    On Sunday, I drove north to Jupiter to see my beloved Cardinals take down the Marlins in a spring training game. There were occasional showers, but most of the time it was sunshine and the crack of bats. It was weird seeing Berkman at first base, but he played well, and David Freese, of course, saved the day with a three-run homer in the eighth. Like a boss. I missed my beloved Skip Schumaker, out with another oblique injury, but all the familiar faces (Yadi, Motte, Jay, even Rzepczynski, known better as Scrabble) were there. 

    All in all, one of the best days I’ve had in a while. Go cards.
