Cards/Memphis Roll Call (4/3-4/4)

Big Head — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:46:21 -0000

Cardinals and Memphis Redbirds announced a two game set the first weekend of April (Friday April 3 and Saturday the 4th)

I just moved to Knoxville, so this is my fill of 'in stadium' Cardinals baseball until Mothers Day weekend in Cincy or July 4th in Cincy. Other than that, I'm hoping to get to a few Braves games, and probably some Tennessee Smokies (Cubs AA...ugh).

Who's thinking of hitting AZP in Memphis for this? I've yet to make it to Memphis, so I'm a little jacked for this one. I'm in for Saturday's tilt, and then destroying some BBQ. Mmmmmmm.

Goold Joins St. Louis' Sports/Talk 101.1

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH sportswriter DERRICK GOOLD joins new BONNEVILLE Sports WMVN (SPORTS/TALK 101.1)/ST. LOUIS as a weekly host and contributor to the station’s baseball programming.

GOOLD, who has been a regular contributor to crosstown CBS RADIO Talk KMOX-A since 2006, will co-host a weekly baseball show with BRIAN FELDMAN, "THE HOT CORNER," to air SUNDAYS 8-10a CT starting in FEBRUARY. He will also be contributing regular call-ins to the station’s baseball pre-game programming and on the station’s daily shows on a frequent basis.

"The ambition of SPORTS/TALK 101.1 and the tone it will be setting in a market hungry for sports news and conversation is exciting. I’m eager and honored to join the lineup," said GOOLD. "Talking baseball is the favorite pastime of this town’s devoted fan base. The region’s unquenchable interest in the CARDINALS, not only demands a high level of courage, but also inspires it."

PD JASON BARRETT said, "In assembling our broadcast lineup, we’ve been looking for informed hosts who have great access to inside information and are willing to share their insight and opinions. In DERRICK’s case, he has demonstrated throughout his career that he has the ability to shine in all three areas. He is incredibly bright, well connected and has great credibility with the CARDINALS and the rest of MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL. I look forward to teaming him up with BRIAN FELDMAN to present some of the best baseball programming on ST. LOUIS radio."

Looking for a good Cards podcast...

Big Head — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:46:01 -0000

I just got an iPod Touch, and I'm starting to get into listening to podcasts. Can you help me out and list some good podcasts focusing on the Cardinals? There are a ton on Sox, Yanks, Cubs, but I haven't found a good one focusing on the Cards.

Please, help me out!

Spring Training worth it??

This is the first time I've ever had the real chance to hit up Jupiter. Anyone that has gone there before: is it worth the trip? I have a place to stay for free, so that's not a problem. I'm not worried about it being "family friendly", just down for some baseball.

It's gotta be better than shovelling ice that I've been doing the past three days.

Kansas or Nebraska

I feel like a dick even doing this, but I'm going to have to root for Nebraska. I won't root hard for the Fuskers, but we need them to beat the fake blue chickens.

I was in the stands for my first Husker game last year, and it was this one. I saw KU come back to make it a game, but as exciting of a game as it was, I couldn't have cared less.

What's your rooting interests in this game?
