Jay suffered the injury on April 19th after hitting the wall at Busch Stadium going after an eventual home run. Shane Robinson, who was sent to AAA after Lance Berkman was activated, has been promoted to fill the void.

According to the probable cause statement released by CPD, Berkstresser’s car damaged another vehicle in the passenger side and rear, causing more than $1,000 in damage. The damage caused combined with Berkstresser leaving the scene could draw a felony charge. Berkstresser posted $4,500 bond after his arrest last night and has been released.

Berkstresser was Missouri’s starter in Spring Football, and is the Tigers’ backup plan if James Franklin has any setbacks returning from his injured shoulder. Missouri coaches have said that they expect Franklin back, but left the door open for the possibility of needing Berkstresser.

It is not known how this incident will affect Berkstresser’s status at Mizzou.

This is the 4th consecutive year the Tigers will host a regional in the first round of the tournament.  Last year, the Tigers lost their second game of the regional, only to rally for 3 straight wins and the chance to advance to the Super Regional round.

The Tigers were selected as the number 9 National Seed in the Softball Tournament.  If they are able to advance to the Super Regional round, the Tigers would face off against fellow Big12/SEC conference foe, Texas A&M.

Joining Mizzou in the Columbia Regional are Illinois State (4 seed), Massachusetts (2 seed), and DePaul (3 seed).  This will mark the 4th consecutive year the Blue Demons have joined Mizzou as a memeber of the Columbia Regional.  The Tigers defeated DePaul in 2009 and 2011 to advance to the Super Regional.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Representatives of the Oakland Athletics and Chicago White Sox will be on the field when the St. Louis Cardinals retire the No. 10 jersey of former manager Tony La Russa on Friday.

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty, La Russa’s right-hand man most of his St. Louis tenure, is expected to attend the pre-game ceremony. So is Joe Torre, who preceded La Russa as Cardinals manager.

Pitchers Dennis Eckersley, Dave Stewart and Bob Welch played for La Russa in Oakland, and Eckersley also played for La Russa in St. Louis. Tom Seaver played for La Russa with the White Sox, who’ll also have owner Jerry Reinsdorf and former general manager Roland Hemond present.
In addition to the current Cardinals, Matt Morris, David Eckstein, Brian Eckstein, Jim Edmonds, Brian Jordan, and pitchers Andy and Alan Benes are on the list.

The sale price was a reported $130 million dollars and includes in addition to Stillman, several local business ventures pooling their money into the team. The sale ends a 24-month search for a buyer, following Checketts’ announcement that he wanted to separate his financial interest in the team.

Checketts sells the team at a loss, earning $20 million less than the price he bought the Blues at in 2006. Stillman becomes the franchise’s eighth owner since the team’s inception in 1966.
