Rasmus leads Team USA to Beijing

ColinMacLeod — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:14:56 -0000

Colby Rasmus is getting the headlines on USA Baseball's website as one of the members of the Olympic team playing in Beijing next month. Future Redbird Brian Barden will also join him. You can see the 23 gentlemen chosen here: http://web.usabaseball.com/teams/index.jsp?team=940&content=roster

How cool is it that we get to cheer on a couple Redbirds while watching the Olympics next month? The final schedule in Beijing isn't set yet, but there will be a full round robin among 8 teams starting on Wednesday August 15th, followed by semis and finals on Friday and Saturday August 22nd-23rd.

U-S-A! U-S-A!

Last Call for Redbirds @ Tacoma Rainiers

After the Redbirds finish their homestand against Fresno, they're flying to the northwest to play the Tacoma Rainiers Wednesday through Saturday.

If you have anything I should specifically watch for (we're playing for '08 or, gulp, '09 here) or you want to join me on this excursion, please post a reply here.

Thanks,
Trayton

Memphis Redbirds @ Tacoma Rainiers - August 1st-4th

The Memphis Redbirds are visiting the Tacoma Rainiers for a four game set August 1st through 4th. For us Cards fans in the Pacific Northwest, this may be the best chance for us to cheer on our (future) Cards in person.

I got a little chatter in Wednesday's game thread, so I'm posting a diary to gain a little more attention. If you're interested, reply to this post and we'll figure out the details.
