Summer Softball Returns -- SATURDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Softball Pair Plays Summer Ball

Though the collegiate softball and baseball seasons were scrapped early and Major League Baseball still hasn't figured out what they're doing, diamond sports will return this summer and two Louisville players will take part. The Florida Gulf Coast League, an annual collegiate summer league that plays home to softball and baseball players in the offseason, will get underway next week as Florida opens its doors to sporting events once more. We already knew that Florida would be playing host to the NBA season as well as the MLS tournament so it's no surprise that they would find a home for diamond sports as well.

Paige Schindler and Jordyn Wolfe will be the two representatives from Louisville softball heading south. The pair will actually report tomorrow with camp set to start on Monday and the regular season beginning on 6/18. The FGC Softball League will have a 24-game regular season with a postseason playoff and all-star events.

Playing in summer leagues is almost a given for college diamond sport athletes, but things have obviously been a bit more strange this year. Many baseball leagues are in the Northeast, none of which I have seen mention that they would be playing this year. As such, we have seen many fewer players announce that they'll be playing summer ball. I am a bit surprised that no Louisville baseball players will be participating in this Florida League, but perhaps it has to do with some team decision that we don't know about.

In any case, we wish Paige and Jordyn the best while they continue to hone their skills and hope that they are able to stay safe and healthy in these uncertain times. We'll look forward to seeing their continued development when they return to Ulmer Stadium next spring.

Cardinal Couple Radio Hour

A Pop Quiz for Computer Architecture Reviewers | SIGARCH

We should have a full house this morning on the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast, where we'll have sports topics to discuss as well as a weekly quiz. We had mascots last week, and Jared stole the show from a remote location. Paulie has committed to no repeat topics in back-to-back weeks so you'll have to join to find out what this week's quiz will be about. Join us as we bring you the latest happenings in the joy and excitement of Louisville women's athletics. Check out the Cardinal Couple YouTube Channel at 11AM for the live show or listen to the recorded version any time after the show ends around noon.

Until next time, Go Cards!

What city is the Manatee Squeeze out of and will fans be able to watch on line? This is exciting.

Another night ended making sure shelves are filled. About to hit the sack, so I'll miss the live broadcast but catch the rebroadcast. A tough transition back to third shift after being off a couple of weeks, but, traffic's light, so that's cool.

Keep the dynasty alive Jared in the quiz and beat the field!

Hey Ho! It's Dave O!

I haven't been active much lately with comments here but read each day, so when the Cardinal Couple/Batman spotlights shines in the Bradenton skies, I'll usually answer.

Here's the roster as I know it for the Squeeze:

Stormy Kotzelnick, infield (Washington)
Sommer Baker, infield (Florida Atlantic)
Paige Schindler, pitcher (Louisville)
Meagan Ricks, infield (Florida Gulf Coast)
Sara Berthiaume, outfield (Florida Atlantic)
Jenna Greene, pitcher (Presbyterian)
Abi Stuart, catcher (Clemson)
Melina Livingston, utility (Penn State)
Taylor Johnson, catcher (Wisconsin)
Alexis Johns, outfield (Florida International)
Jordyn Wolfe, outfield (Louisville)
Nikki Cuchran, infield (Northwestern)
Kenna Wilkey, pitcher (Northwestern)
Jordyn Kadlub, utility (South Florida)

No attendance details that I'e heard yet, the league will be broadcast on the internet. Stream Live Tampa, and I'll scout that out later today. Miss Sarasota Field around here is the spot where they'll play, I would think. A very nice diamond.

Maybe they'll let me stand behind the outfield, six feet away from other watchers and the players. My days as bat-boy are gone, it's that running back and forth from home to the dugout that gets me. Especially when I can't remember just which dugout to run back to.

I remain (last I checked)

PEOPLE OF THESE PAGES

Paulie tells himself he's the co-owner and managing editor here, but it's like herding kittens. He checks the obituaries each morning on line and if he doesn't see him name, he gets moving to greet his day. Trying to find long-shots in cheap claimer races is one of his past-times,. Recently retired from the advertising industry, Paulie spends a lot of his waking hours searching for his cell phone, car keys and Sonya. He still manages to get to campus and to the KFC YUM Center...adn sometimes it's even on the right day and time. Dreaming while awake and wondering what day it is are daily occurrences.. Not likely to be seen running a marathon. Known as "the Landlord".

PEOPLE OF THESE PAGES

Jeff "Worldwide" McAdams writes our Sunday columns and is well-known for his snark on The Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast and love of Volleyball. (He knows he's the brains of the operation...) He secretly wishes he was on a rocket to Mars. With good coffee.. Jeff's been with us the longest out of our writers (beside founder Paulie) and all that proves is that he's slow to change. He and Case are the guys behind always malfunctioning podcast format (which we fully expect each week). Jeff thinks he has a superior I.T. background than us and we allow him to think so -- we need him to explain "technology" to Paulie. You like Volleyball? He knows Volleyball. More than your average bear. .

Case Hoskins writes here Saturdays and is on our podcasts when he isn't busy getting muddy, moving to a new house, field dressing deer. or saying "Yes, dear" to lovely Lindsay his wife.. He's also co-conspirator on the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast with Jeff -- when he has an Internet connection. consider him our soccer expert here at CARDINAL COUPLE....we just have to keep him away from WSOC head coach KFD. During the day he helps blueprint and design better mouse-traps or fancy-schmancy buildings and stuff. Another one of them engineer types. Known for his love of the Seattle Seahawks and dislike of games that end in ties...he adds a voice of reason, intelligence and rationality to THE CARDINAL COUPLE RADIO HOUR PODCASTS. ( Or so he thinks...) Truth told, he's probably the smartest one of this bunch of hoodlums, outlaws and ne'er do wells...but don't tell him that. Often mistaken for NFL quarterback Andrew Luck...we're 99% sure that ISN'T Bobby Petrino sitting to his left. . Free to a good home that will give him a bath, something to argue about and some Rice-a-Roni.

Jared Anderson is one of our favorite writers and does podcasts with us as well. When he's not busy snapping photos of student-athletes he's taking selfies of himself somewhere. We look forward to his expertise on several sports on these pages and when he takes on the Field Hockey water cannons. He also serves as CARDINAL COUPLE'S official photographer...an extension of his business {Jared Anderson Photography). He spends his working hours impersonating Freddy Farm Bureau around town and making sure folks are insured. Be careful, he might follow you home...but give him a hot meal, warm blanket, internet access and a corner to sleep in if he does...and he'll be fine and unobtrusive, unless you give him picture-taking capabilities.. It's said that "you're no one unless Jared has taken your photo". He's owned by Katie, she's got the rock to prove it and that's probably a good thing, because the lad needs a keeper.

Our newest writer, Daryl Foust, is all about Cardinals Athletics. A essential part of the old Cardinal Couple Radio Hour on the ill-fated WCHQ FM, she also had her own radio show (Kentucky Women Talk Sports) and has written for a couple of other Cardinal Sports sites. The standing joke is that she'll show up for the CCRH podcast again someday. When she isn't working one of her many jobs, she' stays busy being Aunt Daryl. Her WBB and Softball knowledge is top notch . And, if there's a live music festival going on locally, you can expect to see her in attendance. We're honored to have her on board, we invite you to spend Fridays With Daryl at the website -- just don't ask her to predict scores, fill out brackets or be overjoyed at taking the Cardinal Couple Radio Hour Podcast Worldwide Quiz during the summer months...she's rumored to be a golfer as well, so "fore" in advance if she's in your neck of the woods.

CO-FOUNDER AND CO-OWNER

The other co-owner and voice of reason....the lovely Sonja...who makes sure the Cardinal Couple numbers are right and the books are accurate. Easiest job around...no one ever donates and we don't spend what we ain't got. She also sneaks over to cardinalsports.com and writes about women's sports for them, in addition to her annual Christmas Poem, which is popular over there. . An avid fan of native gardening, hiking and the Smoky Mountains....she loves German potato pancakes and Led Zeppelin....and reminds you to plant native species.

About the photos...

CARDINAL COUPLE uses photos from all sources in the daily columns that we present to you. If we've used a photo you have taken and want published credit it for it...just contact us and we'll be glad to do so. Shoot, we might even write a feature article about you and call your Mom and tell her what a good son or daughter you are. WE avoid pictures that may be subject to copywrite. Our legal advisors are busy enough chasing ambulances and wheelchairs when they're not trying to figure out trifecta plays at Churchill. Some of the photos are actually taken by the staff of CARDINAL COUPLE. (When we can get the camera away from the chimps). Paul uses his cell phone to take pictures, too. You have been warned. Please realize that the captions that go with the photos are sometimes parodies. It's up to you to figure out which ones are and aren't. We can't spoon feed everything to you, you know... Congratulations if you made it this far in your reading! We know...reading stuff like this can be pretty boring but WE have to put it on the site somewhere so that we can say..."hey, there is disclaimer on the site" in case some bozo decides that they want to sue us or something. Like we have any money. We're so poor we can't even pay attention. We even owe bums money.

I was walking down this road once years ago and I saw this guy chopping down a tree. It was hot, the guy was really sweating and I stopped to watch a while. He finally took a break, cracked a can of beer and then asked me if I had a gun. I hesitated before answering but finally told him that I didn't. He said: "That's a darn shame. I'm cutting down this tree because it's my neighbor's and I'm really pissed off at him right now. I was going to just shoot his sorry a$$..but I decided to do this instead. I'm having second thoughts...though." Somtimes, there just aren't enough trees... (I've never chose that particular walking route since..) .

If I'd taken a picture of that guy working on that tree, I'd been glad to share it with the entire world. That's the way WE see other photos out there. Share 'em and create through exposure and appreciation. We provide credit to the photographer when we feel it's needed. We also pay our taxes on time...
