2014 St. Louis Cardinals Preview – First Base
And on we roll around the horn from behind the plate to the first stop on the basepaths. Cardinals fans were lucky enough to witness one of the greatest hitters in history manning first from 2004-2011. When he moved on, it wasn’t unreasonable to expect at least a bit of a drop in production, but […]
3 Down. 8 To Go.
That curveball. I’ve seen it somewhere before. Watching Wainwright face down Alvarez in the ninth, once he got him 0-2, everyone knew, just knew, that filthy curveball was coming. I bet you even Alvarez knew Uncle Charlie was coming to pay him a visit. And even so, he whiffed worse than I do when I ask […]
Cardinals 2013 Regular Season Wrap-Up: Steve Hands out Team Awards
Thank you, and welcome to the First Annual Stevo Awards! It’s an honor to be here. I even dressed up for the occasion.

Rather […]
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 […]
In-Flight Turbulence: St. Louis Cardinals Battered, But Not Beaten
Ask a dozen baseball experts who will win the World Series and who will win all the major awards, and there’s a good chance you’ll get a dozen different answers. There’s also a good chance you’ll get a dozen wrong answers. No matter how much you know about the game, it’s just about impossible to […]
Previewing the 2012 St. Louis Cardinals – First Base
For the first time since 2003, the St. Louis Cardinals will open the season with a first baseman not named Albert Pujols. I’ll let that sink in. Stings the nostrils. I’ve already shared my thoughts on Albert and his defection to the Angels, so I won’t delve back into that. Re-hashing the past isn’t what ReviewSTL […]
