St. Louis Cardinals Win World Series Game 6. Ten Down, One to Go.
There comes a point in time where words are simply insufficient. There are things in nature you just can’t describe. How do you describe something’s color? With another color. Well, how do you describe that color? And so on. This game started off with the makings of possibly the worst, least climactic World Series clincher […]
Why They Play the Game
With the loss of Adam Wainwright before spring training even got fully underway, most pundits decided to write the St. Louis Cardinals off. It is, after all, pretty tough to win anything when you lose your ace, let alone a 20-game winner who’s placed in the top 3 of the Cy Young voting the last […]
St. Louis Cardinals Win NLCS, Enter World Series. Four More to Go.
It has to start somewhere. Believe it or not, we owe a few members of the Milwaukee Brewers organization thanks. Thanks, Prince Fielder, for hitting the game-winning home run in the All Star game to give us home field advantage. Thanks, Ron Roenicke, for continuing to pitch to David Freese, even though he was absolutely […]
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 […]
BREAKING NEWS: Rasmus to Toronto
Various news outlets are reporting that Cardinals center fielder Colby Rasmus has been traded along with P.J. 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 […]
