I really hate seeing the Cardinals swept in a series. It’s worse that it was by the Dodgers, my die-hard in-law rivalry. Let’s hope they can pick things up this weekend against the Diamondbacks.
It’s definitely a good day when a birthday coincides with the first game of spring training. Tomorrow. 12:05 pm CT. Marlins at Cardinals.
A new site has found it’s way into the steidler.network. Play Ball is a tumblelog about the only game that really matters. It’s a true tumlelog – a river of news, photos, video, and original insight into baseball. It’s hosted with the Tumblr service and, as such, doesn’t (yet) allow for comments. If you visit and would like to comment on what you see, please feel free to contact me by email using the link on the front page.
Update: Given the “river of news” nature of Play Ball (more than 170 entries in the past four days), consuming the site in an RSS reader is well-advised. Subscribe here or from the RSS links on the site.

Albert Pujols is confident he can make it through another season, and maybe even the rest of his career, without needing reconstructive surgery on the elbow that’s hampered him off and on since 2003.
Charlie Steiner on XM’s “The Beat” this morning:
“So, what you’re saying is that the Red Sox are Barack Obama and the Yankees are Hillary Clinton.”

Man, am I ready for baseball. As a gift for the upcoming birthday, my family is giving me the Fox Sports Midwest package on DirecTV. 130 games of Cardinal baseball. Combine that with the Sunday local broadcasts, national Fox coverage, ESPN games, and I may have at my disposal as many as 155 games of the regular season.
Baseball bliss.

Five uniform lessons learned at fantasy camp:
- No, I am not a 34 waist. Why the hell did I tell them I was a 34 waist? Talk about fantasies. I haven’t been a 34 waist since Barry Bonds was a 7¼ cap.
- Remember to zip up your fly. (And for older players, also remember to zip down your fly.)
- Always wear a cup. That one pitcher we faced knows what I’m talking about. (And no, we weren’t laughing about it on our bench. Well, not much.)
- Spikes clattering across concrete remains one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.
- The rose goes in the front, big guy.

The deadline for baseball’s Hall of Fame voters to submit their 2008 ballots is Dec. 31, and once again they must consider the candidacy of Mark McGwire. In his first year of eligibility a year ago, Big Mac garnered only 23.5 percent of the vote, mostly due to suspicions that he took performance-enhancing drugs during his playing career.
Will the voters be any kinder this year to the controversial slugger? ESPN.com’s Jim Caple and Jerry Crasnick offer opposing points of view during an e-mail debate that we’ve excerpted below.
The debate is an interesting read, but I’m one who’s of the mind that we should keep them all out. The only way to maintain the integrity of the Hall of Fame is to leave out those even suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs.
