"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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

Another Chance To Sweep

Pitching duels are a lot of fun.  At least, they are when you come out on the winning side.  I'm not sure Ian thought last night's game was as enjoyable as we did.Bernie Miklasz Tweeted last night that Chris...  [Posted on June 24, 2010 11:27 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

Busy couple of nights at the ballpark, with most of the focus on the bump in the middle.First off, the Jeff Suppan return tour kicked off in a manner that didn't shock me too much, though I will admit I...  [Posted on June 16, 2010 11:45 AM]

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

The Cardinals won the first game in Arizona, but that was just the oasis in the losing streak.  A quick recap:Friday (5-2 win)Hero: Brendan Ryan.  He's still not found himself at the plate entirely, slipping back around .200, and a...  [Posted on June 14, 2010 12:36 PM]

Heading To The Desert

The Cards had an off day yesterday, but it obviously wasn't uneventful.  Lots of talk about the signing of Jeff Suppan, and not a lot of it positive.  Bernie Miklasz discussed it this morning, doing his best to make sense...  [Posted on June 11, 2010 9:58 AM]

Soup's On? Really?

Derrick Goold has the scoop:"Suppan back with Cardinals per agent."Speaking for a lot of Cardinal fans, I want to say, "Are you kidding me?"Let's get this out of the way.  There's nobody in Cardinal Nation that doesn't like Jeff Suppan...  [Posted on June 10, 2010 3:24 PM]
