"It Didn't Look Like They Wanted To Come Out And Beat Us"

I think the title of this post says it all.  When a player on the opposing team questions the desire, there's little else to say about the 2010 Cardinals.That was Geoff Blum's quote to MLB.com after yesterday's game.  "It didn't...  [Posted on September 2, 2010 8:10 AM]


Cardinals Hit Rock Bottom, Break Out Jackhammers

You know, just once, it'd be nice to have an upbeat, positive day. I guess last Monday, with the big win over the Pirates, would count as one of those.  However, since sweeping the Reds 20 days ago, those kind...  [Posted on August 31, 2010 8:27 AM]


Another Lost Cardinal Weekend

What is left to say about this team?  We are using up all the possible words to describe what we are seeing out of this team that, on paper, is one of the most talented ever to play in St....  [Posted on August 30, 2010 6:55 AM]

Dear Cards: You Win

Dear Cardinals,This is to inform you that, due to your maddeningly inconsistent play, your inability to beat bad teams regularly, and your amazing ability to tease with late inning rallies that fall short or winning streaks that are then followed by losing...  [Posted on August 26, 2010 8:16 AM]


This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

On the face of it, it wasn't a terrible loss.  Most discussion of the next 10 games had the Cardinals going 8-2 if they wanted to make a run, so they haven't ruined that.  Cincinnati lost and so did Philadelphia,...  [Posted on August 25, 2010 8:20 AM]


Pujols In The City

I think that, if I were the owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates, I would petition Major League Baseball to make sure that the Cardinals never came to Pittsburgh in August.  It'd be bad enough to face Albert Pujols in his...  [Posted on August 24, 2010 8:22 AM]


Have The Cardinals Bounced?

The weekend started with an internet furor over a Cardinal trade.  It ended with a lot more optimism after a stellar pitching performance.  In between, well, it's possible that the Cardinals hit rock bottom and bounced.  A quick recap:Friday (6-3...  [Posted on August 23, 2010 8:55 AM]


Sigh-Inducing

Just when you start to believe in this team, to think that they've finally found that gas pedal on the team car, they stomp on the brakes.  A four game winning streak to get into first place?  Let's follow that...  [Posted on August 18, 2010 8:34 AM]


Looking To The Future

There may not have been any games on the field last night, but there were some late-night anxious moments anyway.Last night was the deadline for signing picks from the most recent draft.  Without a contract in place by midnight, those...  [Posted on August 17, 2010 8:31 AM]


The Frustration Continues

Remember when I said that Cardinal fans should caution against getting too high off of that Cincinnati series?  Unfortunately, this 2010 team is becoming predictably frustrating.  Let's look at the series.Friday (6-3 win)Hero: Albert Pujols.  Three hits, including a home...  [Posted on August 16, 2010 8:11 AM]


Did I Miss Anything?

Doing It The Hard Way

When I turned on the game a little late last night, I was well-pleased to see that the Cards had already been serious, putting up six in the top of the inning.  And even though Jaime Garcia allowed two runs...  [Posted on July 29, 2010 8:07 AM]


Gaining On The Off Day

The Cardinals hit the Big Apple yesterday.  They saw the sites (Ryan Franklin went to the Statue of Liberty with his family, according to the official Cardinal Twitter feed), made some appearances (more on Albert Pujols in a bit) and...  [Posted on July 27, 2010 8:56 AM]


A Weekend In Chicago

You know, one loss doesn't necessarily take the excitement out of a winning streak.  Three straight losses, including two to the Cubs?  That'll do it.  Quick look at the three games:Friday (5-0 loss)Hero: Jon Jay.  One for two with two walks....  [Posted on July 26, 2010 2:15 PM]


Cardinals Continue To Roll

What's been the most encouraging thing during this current Cardinal winning streak is that they keep winning in different ways.  The first couple of games, they slugged.  They've had good pitching performances.  They've had comebacks.  They've beaten pitchers that normally...  [Posted on July 21, 2010 8:51 AM]


Cardinal Comeback Continues

This winning stuff is fun, isn't it?  A lot more exciting to watch, a lot less griping and complaining.  I think even if the Cards had lost yesterday, the afterglow of the Dodger series might have tempered a little bit...  [Posted on July 20, 2010 11:26 AM]


Who Are These Guys?

Is it possible that, during the All-Star Break, aliens abducted the St. Louis Cardinals and replaced them with clones?  Or that Tony La Russa gives an amazing motivational talk when he has three days to prepare?  It could be, perhaps,...  [Posted on July 19, 2010 10:34 AM]


Turning The Corner?

It's just been two games.  This team has teased a change before and fallen back into frustrating inconsistency.  However, with these two games, I really think that, at least temporarily, the Cardinals are on the right track for once.Let's start...  [Posted on July 17, 2010 9:29 AM]


The Long National Nightmare Is Over

It finally happened.  It'd been years in the making.  I was about to start my senior year of college the last time.  Finally, finally the National League won the All-Star Game.Nice to see a little Cardinal influence on the win....  [Posted on July 14, 2010 8:25 AM]


Looking Back, Looking Forward

The All-Star Break is a great time to start doing a little examination of the team.  You can't use the "it's early" excuse--that gets replaced with the "strong second half" notion, but still, you have a pretty solid notion of...  [Posted on July 13, 2010 8:46 AM]


Two Series, Then A Break

I can hear you saying, "Break?  You've been gone?"  Sorry, but the work schedule hasn't left me much time for getting my thoughts down here, which was probably good after that Colorado series.  Let's H&G it and see where we...  [Posted on July 12, 2010 11:14 AM]


Up And Down Weekend

OK, let's hit the game highlights, such as they were.  I've had to take some motion sickness medicine, because this team seems to stop and start like the kids in their first day of driver's ed.  More writeups about the...  [Posted on July 5, 2010 9:35 PM]


Pujols The Great

Sometimes, it's all sound and fury signifying nothing.Before the game last night, there was a lot of discussion (or whining, depending on your point of view--since I was part of it, I'm going with discussion) about the unorthodox lineup that...  [Posted on June 30, 2010 8:23 AM]

Mea Culpas

Another Chance To Sweep

A Holliday Weekend

It's late in the day, I've already written about my electronic tragedy of the weekend and I've worked up my Baseball Digest column (to be up later this evening, probably).  Let's take a quick crack at this weekend's series with...  [Posted on June 21, 2010 4:36 PM]


Sweep Incomplete

Card Shuffling Proves Effective

The big news prior to yesterday's game was the fancy new lineup that Tony La Russa was running out there.  Matt Holliday was hitting second, Ryan Ludwick was hitting fourth and, to the great joy of some, the pitcher was...  [Posted on June 15, 2010 9:00 AM]


Desert Mirage

Caution: Brooms In Use

You know you are in a skid when neither Chris Carpenter nor Adam Wainwright can stop it.Save for Ryan Ludwick's three-run homer, the Cardinal bats were again quiet last night.  Yadier Molina was a bit too powerful in the ninth,...  [Posted on June 10, 2010 11:05 AM]


Cardinals Struggling In LA

A Cardinal Weekend

The Cardinals had a good weekend against the Brewers, though it could have been better.  Their slipup last night on ESPN's game of the week dropped them back into a tie for first.  I go over this series and the...  [Posted on June 7, 2010 10:51 AM]


Examining The Pitching Options

As I said in the main post this morning, I had spent a little discussion time on the possibility of the Cardinals acquiring a pitcher before technical difficulties intervened.  Since this is a free-form blog, allowing the publication of more...  [Posted on June 2, 2010 11:31 AM]


Cardinal Blogger Shuts Up, Cardinal Offense Heats Up

I sincerely hope there's not a correlation, but since I last regularly blogged last week, the Cards have scored seven runs in all but two games, the first one I missed and the one of the UCB Progressive Game Blog,...  [Posted on June 2, 2010 11:00 AM]

Their Reputation Preceeds Them

You know that going into San Diego, it's going to be a tough place to score runs.  The park is designed for pitching and the Padres usually take advantage of that with some pretty solid pitchers.  Last night was a...  [Posted on May 26, 2010 7:40 AM]


Just Enough

Cardinal Offense Still Sputtering

Even though they've split the last couple of games and won two of three since the lineup swap, the offense still isn't a well-tuned machine.  Save for that first inning against the Nationals on Monday, it's still been a struggle...  [Posted on May 20, 2010 11:30 AM]


Cardinal Numerology
