GDT: Cardinals vs. SLU

[cardinalgirl]

1205 Florida time. 1105 St. Louis time?

Anyway, I think I heard the Cards are wearing Kirkwood hats and some profits go to Backstoppers. Not Backstop, although that would be nice too.

JUPITER, Fla. — Cardinals outfielder Brian Barton knows his knee isn’t fully healed, but he calls it a full-go, and apparently the club is comfortable with that description.
He’s in the starting line for today’s game against St. Louis University.
Barton drove 1 1/2-hour south to meet with his doctor Tuesday about his surgically repaired right knee. The Rule 5 pick had some swelling and soreness in the knee, and the Cardinals had limited his workouts by deleting high-impact drills from his schedule. The team sent him to see the doctor to get a better gauge on how the knee was recovering — if he had to be dialed back or if he could speed ahead.
“I feel like I can ramp it up,” said Barton, a Cleveland farmhand until the past draft. “It has not limited me in anyway, and that was before going to the doctor. It’s nothing that I’m worried about. … The main thing is to stay on top of it. Make sure it doesn’t become a problem, and not neglect it.”
The Cardinals open spring play with today’s exhibition against SLU (1-2) at 12:05 St. Louis time in Roger Dean Stadium. The (intriguing) lineup, just posted in the clubhouse:

1. Colby Rasmus, CF
2. Brian Barton, DH
3. Joe Mather, RF
4. Josh Phelps, 1B
5. Cody Hearther, LF
6. David Freese, 3B
7. Brian Barden, SS
8. Matt Pagnozzi, C
9. Jarrett Hoffpauir, 2B

Starting pitcher: RHP Mitchell Boggs. Pitching plan: Boggs (2 innings); RHP P.J. Walters (2); RHP Clayton Mortensen (2); LHP Jaime Garcia (2); RHP Chris Perez (1).

I take it there is no radio coverage of the game.

[cardinalgirl]

probably not. If I were down there I would tape it with my camera and then post it here, but the lounge chose not to pay for my trip.

That would make sense.

The Cards are wearing the Kirkwood hats. It was on the news this morning.

Is KFNS carrying this game? They said yesterday that Bob Ramsey was in Jupiter with the Billikens baseball team.

[cardinalgirl]

I don't know. There sure isn't a lot of info out there about this game. Like the media just doesn't care about what I want to know.

I know. What if the world doesn't revolve around me after all? that would be a crushing blow.

I refuse to believe it doesn't, and I suggest you do the same.

There might be. MLB.com is showing a radio link, so I guess there has to be one somewhere. Almost has to be KTRS, doesn't it?

I'll let you know who the broadcasters are once the game starts, and maybe you can find the station from that.
