Good day for Scott... which is a great thing for the Redbirds...

That link looks funny.... but here are a few quotes

From the Post Dispatch....

"He backhanded ground balls inches fair. He turned a coach's batting practice fastball around for a make-believe home run. He said he sweated like a pig before correcting himself, because pigs don't sweat."

This is as good as I've felt physically, without question, with the shoulder since (2002)," Rolen said.

Jocketty said: "He said he felt good and he certainly looked good. Scott was key to our success and getting him back means a great deal to our lineup."


That sound you hear (you have to listen closely) is my 9 year old son yelling with delight at the prospect of Rolen back at third for the Cards. Yes, he is yelling that loudly that it reaches your home....

I heard that he wasn't going to be 100% healthy by opening day. Is that true?
