Raise your hand if you predicted the Cardinals would be in a tie for first at the All Star Break. Liar. Most people certainly didn’t. I didn’t. Call them what you want, this team is certainly exciting and fun to watch. The Cardinals finish the first 92 games with a record of 49-43. Six over […]
Growing up, I learned a few lessons very quickly. Happiness is dependent upon realistic expectations. Respect is earned, not given. Don’t pee in the corner when others are looking. Some of these lessons stuck more quickly than the others. When the first Transformers film (well, live-action, not animated) came out a few years ago, I […]
Every time he steps on the mound, Kyle Lohse strives for perfection. He came up just short on Wednesday night, missing throwing a perfect game by only one inning, seven hits, two home runs, and three earned runs. Lohse has, for the most part, had an excellent season bouncing back from surgery. Perhaps best-known this […]
The injury bug has claimed yet another victim on the Cardinals roster, as it was announced today that Albert Pujols would miss approximately 4-6 weeks with a nondisplaced fracture in his left wrist. His critics have downplayed the significance of this, claiming he didn’t show up for the first two months to begin with. Watch […]
Addressing the Cardinals organization’s glaring need for a quality middle infielder, the team selected the 22nd overall pick Kolten Wong, a second baseman from the University of Hawaii. Should Wong and last year’s top pick Zack Cox join Albert Pujols in the infield someday, the Cardinals will be set with a Wong, Cox, and Pujols […]
Wow, has it really been that long since I’ve posted on here? Eesh. Seems like the season just started a while ago. I do apologize for the neglect of my writing. I haven’t really had a lot of free time with my first season coaching an Atom 2 baseball team (two ties count as a […]
People often ask: why do people get so wrapped up in sports? After all, it’s just a game; it doesn’t really have any effect on real life. There are people dying/starving/suffering, etc., while we fuss over a contest. Perhaps it’s the competition itself, the emotions that get tied into the outcome of the game. Maybe […]
Dear Lance, I owe you an apology. When I first heard about your signing in the offseason, I was more than skeptical. I saw the mediocre season you’d had with Houston and New York last season, and upon hearing we signed you for $8 million, which is almost as much as I make in a […]
Hello, Brandon Phillips. Welcome to St. Louis. You hungry? Want something to eat? Oh, nevermind, you don’t like the food here. It’s alright, though. I’m sure there are lots of great restaurants in Cincinnati for you to go home to. I mean, Cincinnati was the birthplace of 98 Degrees, so clearly the town has great […]
I think Tony La Russa and Ryan Franklin have a contract with electronics superstores. Seems like every time Tony puts him in to pitch, an inordinate amount of televisions end up with remotes getting thrown through them. First, though…what a difference a week makes. After last Saturday, the Cardinals were in desolate shape, dropping to […]
