"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 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 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]

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]

Sweeping Our Cares Away

Earlier this year, the Cardinals took the first two games from the Toronto Blue Jays on the road and sent out Adam Wainwright to complete the sweep.  Wainwright, though, had one of his rare off games and the Cards weren't...  [Posted on August 12, 2010 8:18 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]

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]

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

While taking my regular weekend sabbatical from blogging, I got to thinking about some of the posts that I've written this week and I realized I've strayed a little bit from what the general tone of this blog usually is.Back...  [Posted on June 28, 2010 11:48 AM]

Cards Soar In Foreign Land

You know, when the discussion of launching pad stadiums comes up, I never think of Toronto's Rogers Center.  Wrigley, Coors, even the old Atlanta stadium that started the nickname.  However, if last night is any indication, Rogers Center is...  [Posted on June 23, 2010 7:21 AM]

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]

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]

Miserable Present, Intriguing Future

Exactly what do you say about last night's debacle of a game?  The Hero is obvious, with Ryan Ludwick hitting two home runs and being the largest part of an offense that never really got on track.  Facing a pitcher...  [Posted on June 8, 2010 7:06 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]

First Place Again

Well, the offense wasn't strong last night, but since the Cardinals were able to put together enough runs to win, I'll take that as an indication that it's OK for me to stay with this blogging thing.  (I was going...  [Posted on June 3, 2010 8:02 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

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]

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]

Cardinals Back At It

The Quiet of No Baseball
