Finally. A light at the end of the tunnel. It might be a locomotive, but it’s still a light.

First business- temperature check. How cold are ya? 27 here.

February. Super Bowl next Sunday. Then pitchers and catchers between 10-13 February. Then Daytona 500.

That puts us to ST games. 17 February.

Seems like a bit since final out of WS. And a long cold winter.

In the winter time. When the leaves are brown. And the wind blows.

February!
4 degrees here in the St. Louis area. My neighbor went on vacation to Florida this past week. Talk about bad timing.

It will be a long boring summer of baseball.
Red, you’re not excited to WATCH this Rebuild?? Whatever that means….
I think The Mo induced PTSD CT crowd have forgotten what a MLB Season is supposed to be.
Put the best team on the field, go compete and WIN
Having a loser Manager who was extended so he has NO PRESSURE TO WIN
Sitting on 80mil while the ML club requires talent to compete
And then acting like nothing can be done about the first 2 above because they have to draft and WAIT on prospects who might not even make it……
This was just a friendly conversation about the weather until you showed up.
I wonder what they keep the thermostat set at in the Cardinals offices.

Yea i dripped my pipes at 25 last night. You must be non stop. I’m assuming you got hit hard. Electricity? Pipes?
Interesting you asked that .. my friends in Wis. were all texting us for they saw how bad Nashville area got hit ... etc.
we are between Nashville and Knoxville we have not lost any power .... got 1/2 inch snow the first storm .. then got 1 inch overnight Fri. to Sat. that's been it

Tennessee is a very long state west to east ... 500 miles 7 hr. drive from Memphis to Bristol, Tn . (northeast corner ) so a snowstorm one place may not be in another ... same in spring Tornadoes in Nashville area seem to hit now and then ... knock on wood on the plateau here we have not had tornado touch down n 15 years of living here

No. This is a schedule type thread. The weather entry was a mere ice breaker, no pun intended.

The over arching theme is ST in less than ten days. It’s February. Finally.

Good. My intent is achieved. One week and a wake up. That’s how close we are.

Then. As baseball gets really close, we have March madness.

So what this all means is- October, November December January are gone. February is here. Finally.

2 more months in Mesa AZ before returning to IN. 74 F was the lowest high this week. 3 days in the 80's coming week.

Feeling for you guys up north.

Mesa is Cubs ST camp. In the 5 years I've wintered here, the ony time I spent watching the Cubbies was when the Redbirds visited late March '24 on the way to LA opening. Cards won both games. I brought my Cubbie fan daughter and son in law (living in Phoenix) to the game and took just a little verbal pleasure in the beatdowns.

Looking forward to progress in '26, both in St Louis and the various minor league camps. I think our farms should fare well this year. :oops:
