Roy Oswalt is still just a rumor that seems to lose ground every day. The good news is the Super Bowl is over so baseball is on the mind of fans across the country. Here are some of last week’s media links to help guide you into spring training mode. … [visit site to read more]

I lost money playing box pools. Other than that I had nothing else invested in the game. I enjoy football, but I would not put myself among the millions who consider Sunday a day to park myself in front of the TV from 1:00 PM to 12:00 AM.

I am hooked. While it surely won’t replace some of my favorite baseball movies it has made the list and gotten me to thinking about all of the changes the St. Louis Cardinals have gone through this off-season and the struggles that may be yet to come. Between the crappy weather, it being Super Bowl Sunday, and the fact that pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in only fifteen days away my thoughts are more and more turning to baseball. Today is the culmination of the NFL season. This will leave sports fans in a distinct lull for the next two weeks at least. Fortunately the Mizzou Tigers men’s basketball team is rolling and the St. Louis Blues are playing great hockey. That will almost get us through. Since I am a casual fan at best of those sports, unless it’s March Madness I’m more than ready for some baseball.
