Leftover Links

by Cardinals

Short post today.  I’ll point you in the right direction for a few good reads about our Birds.  As usual, Derrick Goold is blogging from Cardinals camp, and gives some insight on today’s simulated game.  Check it out here. Yesterday, Goold had a gem of a story about some of the pitchers taking a road trip to Daytona in an RV to see some NASCAR action.  It’s a must read.  If you missed it, find it here.

And if that gets you thinking about which Cardinals might be rednecks, Tim McKernan of InsideSTL.com has all the answers here.
Next, more steroid news.  Cards’ minor league pitcher Scott Vander Weg has tested positive for an unspecified performance enhancing drug.  He’ll receive a 50 game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy effective at the start of the 2008 season.  Here’s the full press release.
Finally, Bob Elliot of the Toronto Sun was in Jupiter asking some of the Redbirds about their former teammates Scott Rolen and David Eckstein.  His post is loaded with great quotes.  Find it here.

I enjoyed the story of the pitchers heading to Daytona in the RV. Besides being a Cardinal fan, I also follow NASCAR and found this story humorous!
Also liked all the great quotes about Rolen and Eckstein. Makes for some really good reading!
