Happy Friday all. Rather than waste time on some meaningless chatter, let's just get straight on into the links, shall we:
The Cardinals sign Matt Clement off the injury heap. Cheap money with incentives and an option for a 34-year old who hasn't really pitched since the first half of '06. Let's just hope he doesn't come with that chin hair. [STL Today]
In case you're interested in a little more in depth review of Clement's stats [Baseball Reference]
I'll come right out and say it - I didn't think Kansas was good enough to beat Va Tech. They were. [KC Star]
An interview of Missouri receiver Will Franklin on the draft, his speed and video games [GameTap]
Say what you will about retiring d-tackle Warren Sapp, but he helped make that mini-rivalry between the Rams and Bucs from 99-01 more interesting [SFGate.com]
St. Louis' relationship and ESPN.com's Keith Law got off to a bad start when he took to regularly dogging the '06 Cardinals (even after they won the WS), but the guy is fairly knowledgeable, especially about minor league talent which is the topic of this Q&A done by Future Redbirds [Future Redbirds]
It's never too early to start looking at what the draftniks have listed as the Rams choice at #2 in the Draft. I'd say the leader is a guy named Long. [Turfshow Times]
Blues prospect TJ Oshie was arrested this week for a brawl in an elevator. We like STL Gametime's assertion that this is just a demonstration of his heart and toughness [St. Louis Gametime]
