Cardinals Updates

Here are some Cardinal Updates:
Cards signed center fielder Jim Edmonds to a two year deal!! Edmonds will continue to patrol center field until 2009!!!
*First baseman Albert Pujols was awarded the Marvin Miller Man of the Year. This goes to players who not only make an effort on the field, they go above and beyond off the feild.
*Chris Carpenter placed third in the Cy Young Awards.
*Third baseman Scott Rolen picked up his 6th Gold Glove, and Pujols earned his first. Catcher Yadier Molina was denied his first gold glove, Houston Astros Brad Ausmus got it instead. The only Ausmus had over Molina was his batting average. Molina is the best defensive catcher in the league.
*Manager Tony LaRussa didn't even get a vote in the Manager of the Year award. The award considers regular season play only. The manager for the Marlins won.
*MVP players will be announced on November 21. Hopefully, Pujols will win again- he should, he had an awesome season and his team won the world series.
*The Cards will start their new season defending their NL title. That's right, April 1st its Cards vs. Mets! Down w/ the Mets!
*Cardinals do have a homegame on May 5- my bday- so I want to go!
*Spring Training starts sometime in Feb, it can't get here soon enough for me!
*Por Siempre: Let's Go Cardinals!!
