TWO STRAIGHT LOSSES TO START SPRING TRAINING! EVERYBODY PANIC!

(You might see this jif used a few times throughout the summer-- sarcastically, of course.)

There wasn't a whole lot worth noting about yesterday's Spring Training game, the second of the spring for the Cardinals, that ended in a 7-3 loss to the Mets.  Here's the boxscore.  You may notice a nice looking three-inning line from a Cardinals' pitcher. A perfect performance through three innings of work by a good young prospect named Lance Lynn was the highlight of the game for the Cardinals.  Lynn showed some impressive stuff as he struck out three batters in his outing yesterday afternoon.  Again, I never advocate looking too far into early Spring performances; I'm not saying this is the next prodigy on our hands.  But you never know.  Maybe he could keep impressing Tony La Russa and Dave Duncan and he may just be a serious contender for a roster spot in the bullpen.   There is, without question, plenty of room for competition for a bullpen spot.  There almost always is.

That Albert Pujols guy made his Spring debut yesterday.  He went 0-2 with a sac fly.  He also got to meet with Kobe Bryant.  It really is pretty neat that Albert is forming friendships with some of the greats in different sports.

Matt Holliday also made his spring debut yesterday.  He walked twice and also doubled in the game.

That's all for now.  And I mean it this time!

...Actually, I don't mean it.  I also wanted to just say how psyched I am about Mizzou vs Kansas this afternoon.  This could end up being the highlight of my freshman year in college.  I have to acknowledge my Tigers, and here's to hopfully a wild day in CoMo!

M-I-Z!

Z-O-U!

Okay, seriously, that's all. Peace.
