Formal Friday

The St. Louis Cardinals play the Springfield Cardinals tonight and tomorrow in Springfield, Mo. That means, if you've got tickets, you can watch two minor league teams go at it, plus Albert Pujols.

Big Donkeys is of the opinion that Ryan Shealy should be the R's Opening Day starter at first base. That means somebody (German?) has to go via a trade this weekend. We like Ross Gload. We just like him on the bench.

It's pretty cool that none of the Royals have really gotten hurt yet, unless you count Jose Guillen being out of shape and winded all the time. Maybe it's good that everybody got the flu and nobody really played too hard all spring.

Yes, we realize that Big Donkeys just jinxed the whole season. Meche and Bannister will probably both throw out their arms or get polio tomorrow.

P.S. We have given up on that whole link farm idea already. It's SO yesterday.

P.P.S. Big Donkeys is testing out a new idea we call Formal Friday. From now on (until we get called on it), we're going to wear business-appropriate attire on Fridays, which means we get to wear sweats and Chuck Taylors Monday through Thursday.

P.P.P.S. Not sure how much posting we'll get done (if any) in between beers this weekend, but, as you know, Monday is arguably the biggest day of the year. B.D. has to work on this holiday of all holidays, but we'll definitely be back at some point on Monday with lots of good, good stuff.
