Getting It Out Of The Way

Let's look at the positive side.  At least these games don't count for anything.  Better to have this in the spring than in May or June, right?That's the way to look at this because otherwise, this losing streak would get...  [Posted on March 13, 2013 7:06 AM]

The Ride Starts Early

Last year, the Cardinals were a feast or famine team at times.  Score big or score none.  You weren't always sure what team was going to show up.  While the traditional spring caveats (it's early, it's spring, not the makeup...  [Posted on March 5, 2013 11:15 AM]

The Business of Baseball

Seriously, I'm not a jinx.  I've made bad predictions, had things blow up in my face, but I don't think I'm a jinx.  Barret Browning might disagree with me, however.Less than 24 hours after my interview with him hit the...  [Posted on January 29, 2013 7:05 AM]

Stan Musial At 92: Still The Man

As you know, tomorrow is Thanksgiving.  Many of us will gather around tables with family and friends, pausing to give thanks for all that we have.  If you are a Cardinal fan, when your head is bowed, likely a passing...  [Posted on November 21, 2012 7:35 AM]

Exit Interviews: The Synopsis

So, after 2 1/2 weeks, 45 players, one manager, one general manager, and a whole lot of blog posts, the Exit Interview series has come to an end.  I hope you enjoyed it.  I know it gave me a better...  [Posted on November 11, 2012 3:35 PM]

Exit Interview: Barret Browning

To give myself a reason to look back on this season, I've started this series of blog posts to review each player that spent time in St. Louis during 2012.  More summaries than anything, I imagine the player coming into...  [Posted on October 25, 2012 1:15 PM]

Still Fighting

You know, if you looked at just the last two games by themselves, with no context, I think Cardinal fans would be fairly pleased with what they saw.  The Cards lost a game started by Stephen Strasburg, but they...  [Posted on September 3, 2012 9:10 AM]

Six Is A Wonderful Number

Six runs on six hits in the sixth inning.  Usually, a collection of three sixes in a row indicates devilish activity, but last night that mixture wound up heavenly for the St. Louis Cardinals.Heaven knows, though, that the game...  [Posted on August 25, 2012 9:42 AM]

Sweeping Our Cares Away

With two outs in the bottom of the fourth on Thursday, the Cards were down 4-0 and looking very much like the frustrating, non-broom-wielding team that we've seen much more often than we'd like this season.  Dallas Keuchel, who gets...  [Posted on August 23, 2012 7:42 PM]

Running Out Of Time

The Cardinals had a prime opportunity this weekend, hosting the team ahead of them for the last wild card slot.  A series sweep would have been outstanding, but two out of three would have at least had them tied...  [Posted on August 20, 2012 9:23 AM]

Thanks, Arizona!

Tim Tebow may have had the birthday, but the Cardinals got the gifts.(Side rant: I never watch ESPN anymore.  Maybe occasionally a few minutes of a ballgame, but on the whole, not really.  Part of the reason is because,...  [Posted on August 15, 2012 6:33 AM]

Mood Swing

Late on Sunday afternoon, things looked pretty good.  The Cards had had a test this week versus San Francisco and Philadelphia and after splitting with the Giants, they were looking to take two out of three from the Phillies....  [Posted on August 13, 2012 6:47 AM]

Pick An Adjective

Embarrassing.  Frustrating.  Ugly.  Back-breaking.  Historic.  Anger-inducing.  Aggravating.Pick your word and it fits last night's debacle between the Cardinals and the Giants.  It started rough, got worse and finished up as a spectacle worthy of an R rating for graphic...  [Posted on August 9, 2012 6:47 AM]

Four Out Of Five Ain't Good Enough

Apologies for the long gap.  Between work and birthday happenings, I wasn't able to get to writing.  If the Cards lose tonight, I might have to swear it off for a while again because they've played some excellent ball...  [Posted on August 5, 2012 4:34 PM]

Fireworks And Fizzles

This weekend, the Cardinals at times looked every bit the dominant, outstanding team they are supposed to be, that they should be.  Unfortunately, it seems the Cubs weren't the best mirror to use.  Let's recap.Friday (4-1 win vs. Chicago)Hero: Kyle...  [Posted on July 24, 2012 11:45 AM]

Frustration Returns

If there's any word I've used on this blog regularly during the last couple of years, it would have to be inconsistent or some form of it.  Streaks and momentum seem to have no meaning to this squad and...  [Posted on July 18, 2012 7:35 AM]

The Tissue-Thin Difference

"The tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill."--John Updike Last night, the Cards were a strike--the thinnest of differences in baseball--away from having a thing done ill.  They had scored no runs on Mike...  [Posted on July 17, 2012 6:59 AM]

Bitten By The Past

That's not exactly the way we hoped the Cards would start the second half.Facing a team ahead of them in the standings, a team they really needed to do well against, the Cards are swept due to, mainly, a...  [Posted on July 16, 2012 9:27 AM]

Winning When They Should

Two games against the Rockies, two wins.  That's what good teams are supposed to do, but it's not always been a given with this Cardinal squad.  Let's look at the last couple of nights.Wednesday (4-1 win)Hero: Matt Holliday.  There...  [Posted on July 6, 2012 12:02 PM]

Salvaging the Weekend

Two games against the Pirates and, well, at least they snapped the losing streak.  To recap:Saturday (7-3 loss)Hero: Matt Holliday.  The only Cardinal with more than one hit, Holliday also drew a walk and drove in a run.Goat: Lance...  [Posted on July 2, 2012 6:43 AM]

You Know Nothing, Cardinal70

This would seem to be a pretty bad matchup for the Pirates, good pitching against weak hitting.--yesterday's post There's a reason a site called You Can't Predict Baseball exists, folks. It wasn't some wildling that provided the title for this...  [Posted on June 30, 2012 12:14 PM]
