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]
Is it possible that, during the All-Star Break, aliens abducted the St. Louis Cardinals and replaced them with clones? Or that Tony La Russa gives an amazing motivational talk when he has three days to prepare? It could be, perhaps,... [Posted on July 19, 2010 10:34 AM]

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]
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]
The Cardinals had a pretty eventful weekend, even with their Sunday game being rained out. More data points for decisions were made and one possible move was revealed. Spring training is so much fun, isn't it?The biggest news of the... [Posted on March 22, 2010 7:56 AM]
Before we get to the news of the weekend, it's just come across Twitter that the Cards have invited Shelby Miller and Sam Freeman into camp. While it's most likely to make sure they have enough arms for whatever drills... [Posted on February 22, 2010 10:14 AM]
As people continue to deal with snow, ice, and arctic temperatures, a nation's eyes turn to the states of Florida and Arizona, desperate for relief and for the magical words of "Play ball!"It is that time of year again, thankfully,... [Posted on February 15, 2010 9:49 AM]
For the third straight year, the United Cardinal Bloggers are voting on the Cardinal Blogger Awards. (It's probably best that we do it, instead of having the Dodger bloggers vote for the CBA.) If you want to see the past... [Posted on November 19, 2009 10:30 PM]
As you know, there aren't many things going on right now that are Cardinal related. So you have to pick out the small nuggets that are around and blow them up into talkable topics. Thankfully, I'm a blogger. That's my... [Posted on October 23, 2009 9:20 AM]
If Ryan Ludwick hits a fly ball, the Cards would have won three straight games against the Cubs in the ninth inning. What a weekend series, huh? Let's recap:Friday (3-2 win)Hero: Matt Holliday. Walk-offs in your first game in the... [Posted on September 21, 2009 9:48 AM]
Bases loaded. One out. Albert Pujols at the plate. Everything you'd want, as a Cardinals fan, in a scoreless game.Two out. Runner on first. Adam Wainwright on the mound. As a Cardinal fan, you feel pretty good about getting out... [Posted on September 16, 2009 8:39 AM]
In case you haven't noticed--and judging by the comments, you haven't--I took a long holiday weekend and wasn't able to work my way back to the blogging platform. I may have watched more of the Cardinals than I have in... [Posted on September 8, 2009 8:13 AM]
Well, it's not like the Cards were going to run off a 40+ game winning streak. (Though that obviously would have been nice.) Going up against a team that has the best record in the division with their ace on... [Posted on August 19, 2009 7:04 AM]
How nice is it to wake up in the morning and not only see that the Cards kept the lead they had when I fell asleep, but also to find out they extended their lead at the same time?Another outstanding... [Posted on August 18, 2009 6:57 AM]
Too bad Mitchell Boggs didn't show up for the first inning. Too bad Jose Oquendo doesn't realize that Yadier Molina isn't exactly Mr. Swift. Too bad the big bats couldn't come through in the ninth. Plenty of opportunities for the... [Posted on August 12, 2009 8:12 AM]
Another day, another win and another Cubs loss. I'm pretty sure Cardinal fans could get used to this. It's nice to have that three-game cushion at the top of the standings.It's been a while since the Cards put four wins... [Posted on August 11, 2009 8:15 AM]
Nice to see the Cardinals finally get a sweep, even if it was against a team they should have swept and even if they had a little trouble in doing it. Let's take a look at the highlights of this... [Posted on August 10, 2009 8:06 AM]
This close. This close to a 7-0 home stand. While it's not good to be greedy, it's a little disappointing to be so close and not get there. Still, 5-2 against the Dodgers and Astros is pretty solid. Let's take... [Posted on August 3, 2009 9:11 AM]
No matter the long term ramifications of John Mozeliak's machinations, one thing seems to be clear.These guys can hit.The Cardinals got serious for the third time in four games, reminding people of the heady days of April when the offense... [Posted on July 28, 2009 8:23 AM]
Here we go now!The Cardinal offense, which had been dormant for weeks now, finally broke through the barriers in Milwaukee last night, totaling 8 runs in getting the Brewer monkey off of their back. To put it in perspective, that's... [Posted on May 27, 2009 9:16 AM]
When your offense gets crippled and your pitching staff decides to reverse its early season goodness, chances are there's going to be a lot of losses in your future. Right now, the Cardinals are stuck in a situation that doesn't... [Posted on May 14, 2009 9:12 AM]
If there was one constant expected in this 2009 season, it was that Adam Wainwright would be the rock of the rotation. He'd stop the losing streaks, give a solid outing every time out, and generally be the joy of... [Posted on May 6, 2009 9:47 AM]
There are two games I need to write about. One was a great game, one not so much. Depends on your perspective which was which, but most of you are Cardinal fans, so Saturday was a blast and Sunday was... [Posted on April 27, 2009 2:11 PM]
As Cardinal fans, we've seen Albert Pujols for the last eight-plus years. We've seen him do astounding things at the plate, whether it's walk-off shots or multi-homer games. We've seen him be aggressive on the bases, famously scoring from second... [Posted on April 25, 2009 8:54 AM]
With an afternoon game tomorrow and before I check on how he's done against Livan Hernandez, I predict he puts one over the wall in the series finale.--C70 At The Bat, April 22.So what happened? What do you think happened?... [Posted on April 23, 2009 10:49 PM]
For a Friday, things sure didn't lend to a happy weekend yesterday.First, let's take a look at the game against the Mets. There was some great news, admittedly, in that Chris Carpenter worked two more scoreless innings and reported no... [Posted on March 7, 2009 9:26 AM]

We’ve done the fun part, looking over the surprisingly productive hitters . Now we start excavating through the remains of a pitching staff. Today’s subject group of starters was pretty good, though, which is one of the reasons the Cards... [Posted on October 8, 2008 8:00 AM]
Back in 1997, the Cardinals were in a pennant race with the Houston Astros. At least from my memory, it seemed like the Cards kept hanging around and couldn't make a move. All the talk was about getting McGwire. Then... [Posted on July 27, 2008 5:29 PM]
Before we get to tonight's game, let's take a look at a few of the stories floating around about the Cards.First off, there's the rumor that the Cardinals might part with Colby Rasmus. Here's the relevant part of that link... [Posted on July 17, 2008 7:41 AM]
The Cardinals showed last night that the road doesn't intimidate them this year. They've struggled away from Busch the last couple of years, but this year they can beat people anywhere. In fact, they have the best road record in... [Posted on July 9, 2008 7:47 AM]

Stop me if you've heard this before. The Cards jump out to an early lead, posting a crooked number in the first. However, they don't score again and the other team comes back to take the lead.Last night's game matched... [Posted on July 3, 2008 7:58 AM]
Before I do anything, I've got to give major thanks/props/kudos/whatever the kids are saying these days to Mike for filling in for me. I really appreciate him filling in and keeping things running while I was up in Reds country. ... [Posted on June 30, 2008 10:07 AM]
For the second day in a row the bullpen couldn't protect a lead. Albert Pujols capped a superior effort in his first game off the DL with an RBI single in the ninth to give the Cardinals a 2-1 lead;... [Posted on June 27, 2008 9:25 AM]
Man it's hot. It's like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn't take this kind of hot. Little bit of a heat wave on the west coast. So naturally I spent my Friday playing in a work softball tournament; 4 games in 6... [Posted on June 22, 2008 12:48 AM]
The Cards won a game last night. But they lost so much more.This rag-tag group has been surprising people, sticking around in a race people said they had no business being in. 2.5 games made them better than preseason favorite... [Posted on June 11, 2008 8:06 AM]
I was off the Net, as it were, yesterday, so I had to do a double take when I saw the thread title at CCH last night.Wainwright to the DL? Say it ain't so!"Surgery is not looking like something that... [Posted on June 10, 2008 8:06 AM]
