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 […]
St. Louis Cardinals Baseball – The First Third of the Season
Wow, has it really been that long since I’ve posted on here? Eesh. Seems like the season just started a while ago. I do apologize for the neglect of my writing. I haven’t really had a lot of free time with my first season coaching an Atom 2 baseball team (two ties count as a […]
My Apology to Lance Berkman
Dear Lance, I owe you an apology. When I first heard about your signing in the offseason, I was more than skeptical. I saw the mediocre season you’d had with Houston and New York last season, and upon hearing we signed you for $8 million, which is almost as much as I make in a […]
Weekend Preview – GTMI Edition
Hello, Brandon Phillips. Welcome to St. Louis. You hungry? Want something to eat? Oh, nevermind, you don’t like the food here. It’s alright, though. I’m sure there are lots of great restaurants in Cincinnati for you to go home to. I mean, Cincinnati was the birthplace of 98 Degrees, so clearly the town has great […]
You Can’t Spell Ryan Franklin Without “Fail”
I think Tony La Russa and Ryan Franklin have a contract with electronics superstores. Seems like every time Tony puts him in to pitch, an inordinate amount of televisions end up with remotes getting thrown through them. First, though…what a difference a week makes. After last Saturday, the Cardinals were in desolate shape, dropping to […]
Week 1 And Other Thoughts
Hey all, sorry I never got around to finishing my 2011 preview. This spring, I took the job of head coach for an Atom 2 (9 and under) baseball team, so it’s been a bit of a second job working with them. I’ll try to post as often as I can, but until the end […]
2011 Cardinals Preview – Catchers
Spring training greetings from…well, St. Louis. I’m too broke to go to Jupiter. As we look forward to 2011, well, it’s pretty tough to make a prediction. A month or so ago, the Cardinals looked to be the favorites to win the Central. Unfortunately, Murphy’s Law found its way to Jupiter. The Cardinals still have […]
Weekend Sports Wrap
Well, I’d say there was a veritable amount of action occurring in St. Louis sports this weekend. The Blues shook up the core of their roster, the Rams released one of their top players, and a Cardinal legend (near legend?) bid his farewell to baseball. Some thoughts on each. Rams Release Atogwe The guy’s done […]
