Pujols Wins Second Gold Glove, Aims for Second Rookie of the Year in ’11
Congrats to both St. Louis Cardinals who managed to take home Gold Gloves in 2010, Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina. For Molina, it was his third consecutive award; Pujols grabbed his second award, his first since 2006. Arguably two more Cardinals could have won the award, Adam Wainwright (the 2009 winner) and Brendan Ryan. Certainly […]
Brandon Phillips Wants to Play Cardinals With One Leg, Can’t Win With Two
Well then. Pretty much every part of the Sea of Red here in St. Louis has heard about the inflammatory comments Brandon Phillips made regarding the Cardinals. If you didn’t read them, here they are, in all their inane glory: “I’d play against these guys on one leg. We have to beat these guys. All […]
Video of St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds Bench Clearing Brawl
Last night, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Cincinnati Reds 8-4. But not before a bench clearing brawl, started by an altercation between Yadier Molina and Brandon Phillips at home plate. But if you heard what Brandon Phillips said about the Cardinals the day before, you would understand why. “I hate the Cardinals,” said […]
Dusting off the Brooms
Finally! Much like a girl who teases and frustrates a man to the point of no return, the 2010 Cardinals have flirted with sweeps throughout the season, only to come up empty. Not this time, though. Playing the first series after the All-Star Break, the Cardinals finally managed a sweep, a four-game series, no less. […]
Halfway Home: The St. Louis Cardinals at the All-Star Break
With the All-Star game tonight marking the slightly-over-halfway point of the season, it’s a good time to look over how the Cardinals have done thus far. At 47-41, it’s safe to say thus far the results have been a little underwhelming. Like me with my women, the Cardinals started off strong before they faltered and […]
Seein’ Red – St. Louis Cardinals Baseball
Well for the first time since last July, the Cardinals are no longer in first place. Granted, they are just a half-game back. But for the first time all season, the Cardinals’ struggles offensively has been matched with a bit of a lull from the starting rotation. The Cardinals’ pitching staff still ranks fourth in […]
A Bad Luck Charm?
So far, the Cardinals have lost five home games. So far, I’ve been at four of them. Perhaps the Cardinals should pay me to stay away at this point. Went to the game Tuesday night with my ever-lovely friend Liz, but we had to leave after seven because I had to bartend. We managed to […]
Molina for MVP? And Other Thoughts
Hello there. Hopefully everyone had a content Mother’s Day that saw the Cardinals take two out of three from the Butt Pirates after dropping the last three to Philadelphia. It looks like the road to the World Series is gonna have to go through Philadelphia. If you’re one of the three readers of this post, […]
Cardinals Weekend Wrap-Up
Well, another weekend’s come and passed, and another Cardinals series win. This habit of winning two out of three isn’t all that bad. I’ll share a few thoughts, as that’s what I get paid to…wait, I don’t get paid. But I’m going to share my thoughts anyway. – Props to Adam “Bulldog” Wainwright for managing […]
Opening Day – After Action Report
And boom goes the dynamite. 2010 opening day was, on the whole, one of the more interesting opening days in years. No no-hitters or anything like that, just pure, unadulterated, baseball. The Cardinals won their first season opener in four years, winning 11 to 6 over the Reds. Overall, it was a good first win […]
