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]

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]

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]
