Matt Carpenter: Wunderkind
He was meant to be a stopgap. With 2011 first-round pick Kolten Wong hitting his way through the minors, he was asked to learn to play second simply so the Cardinals could get his bat in the lineup. Along with shortstop, second base has been the biggest area of need for the Cardinals the past […]
St. Louis Cardinals Look to Build Mound Presence in 2013 Draft
Every year in early June, one of the most important and exciting–albeit overlooked–days of the Major League Baseball (MLB) season occurs, the first-year player entry draft. Last week this day came and went without the prime-time fanfare of the NFL and NBA drafts; in fact most casual fans did not even know it took place. […]
When a Luxury Becomes a Necessity: Cardinals Forced to Lean on Pitching Depth
First off, let me wish you a happy Memorial Day weekend. It’s unlikely I’ll update before Monday, but I hope you take time to reflect on why most people get a holiday Monday. The sacrifices of those who gave their lives in service to this country, whether you agree with the cause or not, should […]
Why It’s Good to Be a Cardinals Fan
I’m spoiled. And not just because I have a huge house, six-figure income, and a gorgeous ladyfriend who will cook me bacon any time I ask. Because I don’t have any of those things. No, I’m spoiled because I’m a Cardinals fan. And if you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been spoiled as well. You […]

Hi there! Sorry I haven’t written in a while. Life’s been a wonderful mix of busy and hectic recently.

Rather […]
St. Louis Cardinals Set Roster – Prepare for Opening Day in Arizona, Busch Stadium April 8
Many people hate Mondays. I’m certainly not their biggest fan. I gotta admit, though, I’m looking forward to this coming Monday. Why, you ask? Well, if you have to ask, you can’t afford it you must not be a huge Cardinals fan. On Monday, April 1, the Cardinals kick off the 2013 season when they […]
Cardinals Sign Craig to 5-year Deal
Relatively speaking, the Cardinals have had it made at first base for most of the last past 15 years or so. Beginning with some Hulk named Mark McGwire, the team has been somewhat stacked at first. Even in the two years between McGwire’s retirement and Albert Pujols switching to first permanently, the team at least […]
Cardinals Spring Training Warm-Up; A Farewell to Arms
Finally! It’s almost here! No, not my resignation as a writer. Tuesday, the Cardinals pitchers and catchers will officially report to Spring Training in Jupiter. Hard to believe it’s been almost four months since our beloved Redbirds were last playing. While this has been a relatively quiet off-season for the team, there have been a […]
The Cardinals This Off-Season
Hey! Hey, you! Hi. My, it’s been while, hasn’t it? My apologies to both of you who read my writing. Life’s been undergoing a bit of a paradigm shift for me recently, and as a result, I haven’t been able to write nearly as much as I used to. I started a new job at […]
