The Kelly Identity
If you asked Joe Kelly to define his role with the Cardinals, he probably would have been more assertive last year than right now. When Jaime Garcia began to display arm problems last year in the middle of the season, the Cardinals brought Kelly up as some temporary relief, and he did so well they […]

Why It’s Good to Be a Cardinals Fan
I’m spoiled. And not just because I have a huge house, six-figure income, and a gorgeous ladyfriend who will cook me bacon any time I ask. Because I don’t have any of those things. No, I’m spoiled because I’m a Cardinals fan. And if you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been spoiled as well. You […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
A Look at the Cardinals; Best Baseball Player Names EVER
Well, here we are, with spring training well into its twilight (sidenote, I still shudder every time I write the word twilight), so with a week to go I thought I’d take a look at the status of the Birds. Most of the starters are locked in, but there are a few key position battles […]
Previewing the 2012 St. Louis Cardinals – Catchers
Can you really believe it’s been three months since the finish to one of the most incredible baseball seasons in history? Actually, I can. Because it’s been three incredibly long months. This winter has been nothing short of a paradigm shift for the St. Louis Cardinals. Withing the course of a couple months, the Cardinals […]
Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose: St. Louis Cardinals Win World Series
Sorry, Friday Night Lights. I’m borrowing your line. People tend to overuse superlatives to the point that they become hyperbole. Greatest ever. Best ever. Most incredible. Blah blah blah. The problem is, I don’t know how else to describe the last two months of baseball. When the Cardinals woke up on August 25, they had […]
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 […]
