For those of you that are in the same boat as I am, I thought I'd start the unofficial countdown for Cardinals Spring Training!  For the record, I'm talking about the first day that pitchers and catchers report; not the first game of the pre-season.  If my math is correct we only have 100 days to go.  I'm not sure if I made myself happier or a bit more depressed with this one.  Let's go Cards!  Did you know that for the first game of the 2010 season our boys will hop a plane from FL and go directly to MN to play the Twins?  Talk about a rude awakening!
