St. Louis Cardinals Set Roster – Prepare for Opening Day in Arizona, Busch Stadium April 8

Many people hate Mondays. I’m certainly not their biggest fan. I gotta admit, though, I’m looking forward to this coming Monday. Why, you ask?

Well, if you have to ask, ~~you can’t afford it~~ you must not be a huge Cardinals fan. On Monday, April 1, the Cardinals kick off the 2013 season when they visit Arizona. In a flurry of activity, the Cardinals set their Opening Day roster today and announced several moves and signings this past week. I’ll do my best to provide a brief overture, but this may turn into a novel.
