Game 5. ‘Nuff Said.
Time to dispense with the furry little rally squirrel. (The Cardinals were 1-1 when he appeared, anyway.) We need this team to be in full out beast mode tonight. Let’s hope Chris Carpenter has 3-4 more good starts left in his arm this season. If so, tonight could be a game for the ages. These […]
St. Louis Cardinals: 90 Wins Down, 11 To Go
Dear St. Louis Cardinals, Sometimes, there just aren’t words. This season has had more bounces than Brooke Burke on a trampoline. I’ve been perpetually frustrated and elated because of you, often within the same evening. Lance Berkman, I grew to dislike you for ten years. When I heard the Cardinals signed you in the off-season, […]
Cardinals Re-sign Berkman through 2012
101.1 ESPN Radio is reporting that the St. Louis Cardinals have re-signed Lance Berkman to a one-year deal for $12 million. I’ll admit, I was a bit hesitant when I heard last winter the team had signed Berkman, given his struggles in the previous two seasons. Happily, I was wrong, as after a slow start […]
Sprint Mode – The St. Louis Cardinals
I’ve come to the realization that the Cardinals this season are much like my ex: immensely frustrating at times, but always tempting enough to lure me back from time to time. They also never cook for me and pretend they don’t know me in public. With 39 games remaining, the Cardinals have essentially backed themselves […]

Walters, Brian Tallet, and Trever Miller to the Toronto Blue Jays for three pitchers and an outfielder. In exchange, the Cardinals will receive starting pitcher Edwin Jackson and relievers Octavio Dotel and Marc Rzepczynski as well as Corey Patterson. My […]
Weekend Sports Recap: Cardinals, Rasmus, Hall of Fame
Well, what a busy weekend. We’ll start with the Cardinals’ fight for first place with Pittsburgh (when’s the last time anyone could write THAT?), and go through some of the trade rumors, and discuss baseball’s Hall of Fame, which inducted three new members over the weekend. * note* I was going to do a football […]
St. Louis Cardinals: Birds at the Break
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 […]
Lohse Falls 1 inning, 7 Hits, 3 Runs, 2 HR Shy of Perfect Game
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 […]
Pujols Out 4-6 Weeks; Critics Claim He Was Already Out First 2 Months (Video)
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 […]
St. Louis Cardinals Add a Wong to Cox, Pujols Mix (Baseball News)
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 […]
