I sit here thinking... WOW... Less than 12 days until pitchers & catchers report for Spring Training. It is entertaining & puzzling at the same time. Do the Cards have enough pitching this season? Which has more questions - The Cardinals Pitching Staff or this MY FIRST BLOG?

I sat threw many a blown saves & gut wrenching games last year. At the stadium, at home watching the game & yes even on the road following the Cardinals.

So as Spring Training approaches I start to wonder - Will El Hombre be healthy? Will Duncan deserve to make the Opening Day roster? Will MANNY be a Cardinal? Can Ludwick back up his 08 #'s? Will Glaus fully recover? Will the fans show up in force this year? Will TLR sign an extension? Will the Cardinals sign another SP before Spring Training ends? Will Carp be healthy? Who will be the Cards Closer? Is Izzy coming back? Will Die Hard still body paint for the games?

Well I can tell you this, I will Body Paint for the games because I am FAN. Regardless of the outcome I will support the Cardinals. Anyone can go to a game in the good times, but the true FANS go regardless.

I am ready for the season to start. I may not have all the answers. I may not like all the answers I hear. But the regular season is 162 games so there is plenty of time to see what the Cards can do.

Ready or Not - The Season is Approaching... FAST!!!

GO CARDS!!!
