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.

Jim Edmonds may again don No. 15 next month as a spring training instructor with the St. Louis Cardinals. The club has not announced the move, which some speculate could lead to a consultant role to general manager John Mozeliak. Mozeliak confirmed he has invited Edmonds to camp. Edmonds, 41, hit 393 home runs with 1,199 RBIs during a 17-year playing career that featured eight years with the Cardinals. (Post-Dispatch photo by Chris Lee / 2007)
