We Own The Night: 7 Down, 4 To Go.
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, […]
A Whole New Ballgame: Cards, Bucs Tied for First
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 […]
Cardinals Clinch Best First-Half Record in MLB
They’re not always pretty, but damn if they don’t get the job done. One a night that went back and forth more than a girl trying to decide her outfit for the night, the Cardinals managed to crank out 21 hits en route to a 10-6 win over the Cubs. With the win, the Cardinals […]
Cardinals Sweep Marlins, Send Five to Mid-Summer Classic
“Even the Mona Lisa’s falling apart.” After a fortuitous start to the season, the Cardinals managed to hit a rough patch for a couple weeks. While the Cardinals managed to go 35-18 in the first two months, they stumbled at the end of June and lost seven of nine games, going 14-14 in June as […]

Cards Boast Best Record in NL
Hi there! Sorry I haven’t written in a while. Life’s been a wonderful mix of busy and hectic recently. Thankfully for you who appreciate my inane posts about baseball statistics, I should have some more free time to post on a regular basis. I’m gonna switch the format of this entry up a bit. Rather […]
St. Louis Cardinals – One Last Measure
Baseball is a game of measurement. One hit ball a half inch lower on the barrel could mean the difference between a 90-foot pop up and a 400-foot home run. One short stride can mean the difference between an inning-ending double play and another chance to score a run. One thrown pitch six inches across […]
Sizing up the Cardinals’ Post-Season Chances
Oh hey there. Been a while. Welp, we’re quickly approaching that magical time of the year: October. You really can’t beat fall in terms of sports. Post-season baseball. College football. Pro football (well, the players are professional, anyway; the officials…). Hockey (usually [:(]). While it’s pretty unlikely we’ll ever see another post-season run like we […]
Cardinals Rolling; Pirates, Reds Hearing Footsteps?
The Cardinals took yet another game tonight, scoring four off Phillies ace Cliff Lee and closing out a 4-1 win. Don’t look now, but this team is rolling. Wait a minute, you might be saying. They just lost two to San Francisco and lost last night, right? That they did, including a 15-0 stinker laid […]
