Season has begun

The season is well underway and the Cardinals are playing some good baseball. The issue I am having is with the Cardinals bullpen. I feel as of now its just some growing pains. Rosenthal Kelly and Boggs have shown bright spots and not so bright spots. Overall I feel time will show how good we have it with or bullpen.

Defense has been a little shady. Errors have been piling up. Part of it is because we are young on the field and experience can play a significant part on the field But the errors haven't hurt us too bad..... yet.

Overall, I am happy the way the Cardinals are playing. They are showing the league they are for real and are here to win the central!

My son turns 1 today. Needless to say I'm kinda shocked/happy. In one hand I can not believe a year has passed and on the other hand I'm so proud of him. Not to go into too much detail this time last year my wife and I were sent to the hospital because there was no Ambiotic fluid left in her stomach. Cy was born a month early and stayed in NICU for 2 weeks. Those 2 weeks were the longest ever! I cant imagine staying longer! BUT now he is more than healthy and rotten!

I made a commitment this January and 4 months later I'm down 40lbs and stronger then I have ever been thanks to Crossfit. Those of you who are not familiar with CF need to look into it. Do your research. You will be amazed what CF can do for you. They have changed my life! If you have a small competitive bone in your body you will fall in love with CF. Thats my plug for CF.

I'm going to get my Cardinals tattoo touched up and I'm adding a rose to it. In honor of my wife. The rose is her favorite flower and I am wanting to do something for her but not put her name on my arm! ;)

I talked about a little bit of everything today. Kinda short and choppy. Now that the baseball season has started I will be blogging some more. Hope you have enjoyed my blog and next week I will be aiming more forward MiLB. Until then I will see you at the ball park!

Icon of St. Louis Passes Away

I had fun last weekend at the St. Louis Cardinals Winter Warm-Up. I had the chance to get Yadier Molina's and David Freese's autographs. I got Yadi's on a helmet and David's on a Bat. They both turned out great! I also made a big trade and was able to get Albert Pujols signed bat. I was stoked! Over all it seem to be a smaller turnout then last year. Probably because last year we were coming off a WS win!

Saturday night me, and everyone in Cardinal Nation received devastating news. Stan "The Man" Musial passed away at the age of 92. Stan was the FACE of Missouri not to mention St. Louis. I never got to watch Stan play and I never got to meet him. From what I understand he was the nicest person you could meet. He never turned down the chance to swap stories and enjoy his fans. Although I never got to meet Stan, I feel I lost someone in my family. I was devastated when I heard the news. The last true ball player of the "Golden Age," of baseball passed away. Stan, although you are in heaven, I would like to say from the bottom of my heart thank you for being the icon of St. Louis. Thank you for being a man of men. Thank you for being THE MAN. You represented St. Louis till the day you passed. I hope your playing your heart out in heaven and one day I will finally get to meet you. Goodbye Stan Musial #6
