Cardinals Rally, End Half on High Note
Don’t look now, but (knock on wood) the Cardinals may be setting themselves up for a fantastic second half. With health comes good fortune, and thanks to the energetic returns of Skip Schumaker and Jon Jay, the Cardinals have been playing with resolve the last three weeks, and it’s shown. Since their return, when the […]
The Cardinals’ Week in Review: A 180 or 360?
Well, the Cardinals appeared to have turned the page on the season with the return of Jon Jay and Matt Carpenter, winning five straight before dropping the final game in Miami. Unfortunately, the problems which have plagued the Cardinals all season (inconsistent hitting, a decimated bullpen) have reared their head in recent days, and the […]
St. Louis Cardinals Gain Traction, Sweep Kansas City Royals
Holy cow, it’s been a while since I last wrote about the Cardinals. My apologies; life for the last two months has been nothing but a groundswell of beer festivals and movie reviews. Now that the beer festivals are mostly done for the summer, I’ll be back to writing on a more frequent basis. Thanks […]

The offense wasn’t terrible (although their runs per game average did drop a […]
St. Louis Cardinals Playing at Historic Pace
If you’re not excited about Cardinals baseball by now, I dunno what to tell ya. This team is good. When Pujols departed for LA (or is it Anaheim? Whatever.), I kinda figured the team would take a bit of a hit on offense. Even with the signing of Carlos Beltran, there’s no way the team […]
MLB Week 1 Recap: Cardinals Go 3-1, Cubs Officially Eliminated from Contention
The first week of the season’s come and gone, and I’m happy to report that the Cardinals managed to come out of Milwaukee with a 3-1 record (for the sake of convenience, I tend to start the sports week on Monday and end it on Sunday). Opening up with the first regular season game in […]
Previewing the 2012 St. Louis Cardinals – Right Field
Of all the positions that pose question marks for the Cardinals, none may be more high risk/high reward than right field. After the Cardinals lost Albert Pujols to the Angels, the question arose as to who would replace his presence in the lineup. While you can’t really replace one of the greatest hitters ever, the […]
