So. Here we are again, facing off with Boston for the World Series title, just like in 2004. Or is it? As much as people are clamoring to call this a re-match, in all reality there too much about it that’s a re-match. The fact is, only one active player on each side was even […]
First, they knocked out America’s Cinderella team in the NLDS. Despite Pittsburgh’s first winning season since 1992, they just couldn’t keep up. Next came “America’s Team,” apparently. Perhaps the only other team with a comparable history to the Cardinals, the Dodgers boasted two of the best pitchers in the National League. Our apologies, Dodgers fans, […]
That curveball. I’ve seen it somewhere before. Watching Wainwright face down Alvarez in the ninth, once he got him 0-2, everyone knew, just knew, that filthy curveball was coming. I bet you even Alvarez knew Uncle Charlie was coming to pay him a visit. And even so, he whiffed worse than I do when I ask […]
Thank you, and welcome to the First Annual Stevo Awards! It’s an honor to be here. I even dressed up for the occasion. To commemorate the end of the season, I figured I’d give out the prestigious Stevo Awards. Matt Carpenter and Yadier Molina should receive some votes for MVP, and Shelby Miller has […]
Even with a loss today, the Cardinals managed to slip into the post-season. With Washington’s loss in the first game of their double-header today, the Cardinals officially clinched a post-season spot. Although the Cardinals lost tonight 6-4, they still remain two games ahead of both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. After splitting the four-game series in Colorado, […]
Well well well. This was supposed to be a make-or-break stretch for the Cardinals. After struggling a bit in August, going through a stretch of 17 games against three of the top teams in baseball was envisioned by some to be the point at which the Cardinals would have to play for a wild card […]
ReviewSTL, bringing you the hard-hitting topics and opinions. This week, the members of the ReviewSTL Podcast hit on Ben Affleck. [Editor: phrasing?] Affleck’s become one of the most polemical topics this side of whether or not we actually believe it’s butter. On one hand, you have his box office flops and his notable “Bennifer” personality. […]
Hitters have slumps and hot streaks. Pitchers go through nights where they have complete command and throw shutouts; other nights, they’re fighting themselves on every pitch. The team as a whole, though, is a different animal. Putting together lengthy win streaks is great, of course, but as a whole, a team must rely on a […]
Let’s face it, we all have that one friend. The one who’s very hesitant to grow up, instead trying to live in the past, to the bewilderment of their friends, who’ve all landed successful careers and started families. Hell, that might be me in my group of friends. Dammit. Regardless, there’s probably a very good […]
Well hey, don’t look now, but the Cardinals actually managed to play some solid ball this past week. Yes, I know, earlier this season, 4-2 would be par for the course, perhaps even mediocre, but with the post-season woes the team’s gone through, a 4-2 week is a welcome respite, especially coming against Pittsburgh and […]
