The players who will open the season with the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A affiliate, the Memphis Redbirds, left this afternoon for Tennessee, where they will be joined tomorrow by the (newly revealed) big-league club. They took six starting pitchers with them.

Springfield News-Leader
Thursday’s opponents: Partial schedule as Springfield and Quad Cities played up a level at Port St. Lucie against the Mets Triple-A and Double-A clubs respectively. The Cardinals Triple-A club was en route to Memphis to entertain the big-league Cardinals on Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
Friday’s opponents: St. Louis at Memphis with the other four clubs playing on the Marlins’ side of the complex. Those are the last games against outside competition. Games will start early as Springfield and Quad Cities will break camp Saturday morning. Palm Beach will remain home to play some games against the extended spring training group.
The Cardinal Nation
Today was like the last day of school. That epic daily battle of Yahoo! Pool you and five of your friends have been locked in all year on the Dutch Yahoo site (as to avoid the school’s content blocker) just isn’t the same since 3 of the guys already took their summer vacation a day early. Plus, everyone is eating cookies in the cafeteria and generally wandering aimlessly through the building. Memphis was those 3 friends today.
