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]

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]

The Frustration Continues

Remember when I said that Cardinal fans should caution against getting too high off of that Cincinnati series?  Unfortunately, this 2010 team is becoming predictably frustrating.  Let's look at the series.Friday (6-3 win)Hero: Albert Pujols.  Three hits, including a home...  [Posted on August 16, 2010 8:11 AM]

A Cautionary Note

I've been thinking about this topic for a bit, but before I could write about it Brian Burwell, for once, beat me to it.  There's been a lot of optimism out of the sweep of Cincinnati, as well there should...  [Posted on August 13, 2010 9:37 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]

Doing It The Hard Way

When I turned on the game a little late last night, I was well-pleased to see that the Cards had already been serious, putting up six in the top of the inning.  And even though Jaime Garcia allowed two runs...  [Posted on July 29, 2010 8:07 AM]

Gaining On The Off Day

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]

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]

Cardinal Numerology

Second Rate

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]

Two Up, One Down

Clinching Doesn't Solve Everything
