Cardinals Keep Destroying Hope

I wonder if any of his old friends in Cincinnati have called Adam Dunn and said thanks for the help.  Since his home run on Saturday, the Cards have scored a total of two runs in 31 innings.  Since that...  [Posted on September 1, 2010 8:22 AM]

Cardinals Struggling In LA

You know, when the offense is clicking, you think things are just going to roll on forever.  However, even with an offense like the Cardinals', when you take out a couple of pieces, the Jenga tower apparently falls down.Another game...  [Posted on June 9, 2010 9:48 AM]

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]

Signs Of Cardinal Life

It wasn't a perfect weekend for St. Louis.  Not that it was bad, mind you; anytime you win two of three it's a pretty good set.  However, the signs from this weekend indicate that as nice as this series with...  [Posted on May 25, 2010 7:54 AM]

Just Enough

The cliche is that, for good pitchers, you have to get to them early or you don't get to them at all.  Apparently Adam Wainwright, if you didn't know, is a good pitcher.After the Marlins scored two in the first...  [Posted on May 21, 2010 8:04 AM]

Second Rate

After the sweep by the Astros, the Cardinals needed a series win to stay ahead of the Reds in the division standings.  It didn't happen.Friday (4-3 win)Hero: Ryan Ludwick.  Three hits, including a two-run home run that proved to be the...  [Posted on May 17, 2010 8:07 AM]

Failing The Test?

Going into this series, most everyone saw it as a good test for the Cardinals.  The Phillies are two-time NL champs and on top of the NL East.  Easily better than the competition that the Cards have been facing, at...  [Posted on May 6, 2010 8:02 AM]

A Classic Battle

Sometimes, when it's a hyped pitching matchup, it winds up to be a 9-8 game.  Not last night.I think we can agree that this Adam Wainwright guy is good.  Facing a tough Phillies lineup in a hitter's ballpark, he allowed...  [Posted on May 5, 2010 7:52 AM]

Redbirds Roll Through Weekend

It was a very busy weekend for me, but the Cardinals did a lot of working as well.  By now you know all about the games, but let's take a quick look at Thursday through Sunday to get our...  [Posted on May 3, 2010 8:12 AM]

Disaster Start

So far the Cardinals have played two games in Arizona.  The differences could not be more stark.Monday night, it was vintage 2010 Cardinals.  Brad Penny allowed a couple of runs in the first, then cruised, piling up out after out,...  [Posted on April 21, 2010 10:59 AM]

Looking For Some Bats

Whatever you may think of this weekend series against the Mets, one thing is certain: it was definitely memorable.While Saturday's game will be the most talked-about of the three contests, being the type of guy I am I have to...  [Posted on April 19, 2010 11:10 AM]

Two Up, One Down

It's all about patterns.  The Cardinals, in the early going, have alternated day games and night games.  So far, they've kept up a two win, one loss pattern with their series as well.I'm not exactly sure what kinda mojo Bud...  [Posted on April 16, 2010 7:48 AM]

A Penny Earned

I'd say Brad Penny has taken to St. Louis, wouldn't you?Penny reprised his performance from Cincinnati, allowing just an unearned run in seven innings.  As we talked about in his last start, the ground balls were working again, getting twelve...  [Posted on April 15, 2010 7:32 AM]

Cardinals Back At It

The Cardinals took yesterday off.  I don't mean they didn't have a game, they weren't expected to work out or anything.  A team that has gone and gone since the beginning of spring training probably needed that day at home...  [Posted on April 14, 2010 8:12 AM]

Making Applesauce

Yesterday's game must have been a nice ripe apple, because Motte made sauce out of it.While in some respects it's true, as Matthew Leach Tweeted yesterday after the game, that the reason they lost isn't because of Jason Motte, but...  [Posted on April 9, 2010 7:52 AM]

Talking Cardinals

I know, I still have UCB predictions to get up.  (It's sad when the head guy can't get them done, isn't it?)  I still have a few Playing Peppers to post.  But, blast it, it's been over a week since...  [Posted on April 3, 2010 8:52 AM]

Dealing With The "Rumor"

I guess not surprisingly, the biggest thing coming out of Cardinals camp yesterday was a Seinfeldian discussion about nothing.Look, no one took that "trade rumor" involving Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard the least bit seriously.  No one thought that it...  [Posted on March 16, 2010 8:05 AM]

Wounded Birds

While there was plenty of news from the game yesterday, the biggest discussion point probably happened before the first pitch was ever thrown.Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday were both scratched from yesterday's game against the Nationals.  Pujols's back still isn't...  [Posted on March 11, 2010 8:06 AM]

Still Just Spring Training

At least there was a reason.Brad Penny was one of the most intriguing names brought into St. Louis during the offseason.  A lot of us were interested to see what this guy, who had been a very successful pitcher in...  [Posted on March 6, 2010 9:37 AM]

Cardinals Get Deeper

The big news over the weekend, of course, was that the Cardinals finally brought Felipe Lopez into the fold.  This surprised exactly no one, considering all the rumors that had been flying around throughout the whole offseason.Lopez's addition is a...  [Posted on March 1, 2010 8:16 AM]

A Great Day For Cardinal Prospect Watchers

One Day Away

Pitchers and catchers "officially" report tomorrow.  In actuality, almost the entire team is already in Jupiter or doing prep work before getting there.  Still, sitting here with 19 degree temperatures outside this morning, waking up to read about spring training...  [Posted on February 16, 2010 9:18 AM]

Cardinal Off-The-Field News

A couple of things took place this weekend.  One was at least semi-hopeful, one fairly disappointing.First off, the Cardinals finally made a formal offer to Matt Holliday.  No details on it have leaked out, though it is most likely not...  [Posted on December 14, 2009 9:53 AM]
