Lankford cements roster spot for Opening Day

[007]

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - When spring training began for the Cardinals, the odds of Ray Lankford riding around Busch Stadium in an open-air car on April 5 were about as remote as oh, say, Nevada winning the NCAA basketball title.

Very cool, I am no Cards fan as you may know, but him coming "home" is cool.

Somewhere, a sportscaster is just dying to say, "I guess you really can go home again."

[cardinalgirl]

Ray was hitting the ball very hard when I was there. I got a really good feeling from seeing him at the plate.

And the other night when the Marlins walked Krob, and I figured out that Ray was coming up, I kinda had a feeling that he was going to be able to drive in a run or two.

Good vibes rule. I hope he can carry this over to the regular season. He seems to be doing better than I thought he could.

[moedrabowsky]

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!

[BringBackZezel]

So, who will be the starting LF opening day? Also, can anyone elaborate on the platoons we'll have to endure this season? I hate platoons.

I was underwhelmed by a lot regarding 2b.

But you probably knew that, huh?
