St. Louis has had a bit of a revolving door when it comes to the middle of the infield. Second base has been the worst overall culprit. How bad? The last player to start more than two seasons in a row as the opening day second baseman was Fernando Vina, whose final season with the […]
And on we roll around the horn from behind the plate to the first stop on the basepaths. Cardinals fans were lucky enough to witness one of the greatest hitters in history manning first from 2004-2011. When he moved on, it wasn’t unreasonable to expect at least a bit of a drop in production, but […]
Two more wins. That’s all they needed. In a season where the Cardinals managed a total of 106 wins (regular and post-season), all they had to do was win two more, and the Commissioner’s Trophy would have found its way yet again to the Gateway to the West. In 2011, they won a total of […]
Few filmmakers have had as much influence or success as Martin Scorsese. Some directors have a golden era and fizzle out, while others burn out after one triumph, never to be heard from again. Scorsese, though, has continuously put out excellence in a career spanning decades. In honor of The Wolf of Wall Street, we […]
In honor of Blake returning to the land of the living, we toss back some drinks and listen to the story of his journey through Hades and back… Just kidding. This week, we tackled what we considered our favorite films of the past year. 2013 had no shortage of quality films, and we were all […]
It may be the fact that many of my relatives have served in the armed forces (one of my great cousins was in the second wave at Normandy). It may be the fact that a lot of my friends currently are serving. It may just be that I’m jingoistic to a fault. Whatever the reason, […]
*Note: The above picture is from a Disney cartoon, and not actually a picture of Steve Kelley* Seasons greetings from the ReviewSTL staff! In honor of Disney’s release of Frozen, we looked back on some of our favorite Disney animated films. We talk about some of the classics from our childhoods like Aladdin and The […]
So. I’d began writing the draft of a Hot Stove Preview for the Cardinals, but then I got lazy and completely forgot to finish it up. In the meantime, the Cardinals managed to solve their two biggest positional problems via trades and free agency. Where does that leave this article? Good question. Obviously the Cardinals […]
After a less-than-stellar 2013 campaign and post-season, the Cardinals have sent David Freese to keep Albert Pujols company in Anaheim. In addition, they’re sending reliever Fernando Salas, who played a vital part in the Cardinals’ s011 championship season but has been used sparingly the last two years. In exchange, the Cardinals get outfielder Peter Bourjos […]
Ron Swanson would feel right at home here. There are some things that go hand in hand together. Peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter and chocolate. Hell, peanut butter and anything except for people who have an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts. Among these combinations, steak and whiskey gaze lovingly over the land of awesome and […]
