Cardinals Continue To Roll

What's been the most encouraging thing during this current Cardinal winning streak is that they keep winning in different ways.  The first couple of games, they slugged.  They've had good pitching performances.  They've had comebacks.  They've beaten pitchers that normally...  [Posted on July 21, 2010 8:51 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]

Another Chance To Sweep

First Test Passed

Pitchin' On The Dock Of The Bay

You knew, just looking at the matchups, two things about this weekend's series.  One, it was going to be darn tough for the Cardinals to keep their streak of not losing a series alive.  The second was that if anyone...  [Posted on April 26, 2010 7:49 AM]

A Penny Earned

I'd say Brad Penny has taken to St. Louis, wouldn't you?Penny reprised his performance from Cincinnati, allowing just an unearned run in seven innings.  As we talked about in his last start, the ground balls were working again, getting twelve...  [Posted on April 15, 2010 7:32 AM]

Dramatic Weekend

Well, that was an interesting Brewers series, wasn't it?  Lots to talk about in it, but let's hit last night's game--and its most troubling aspect--first.I knew something was off with Chris Carpenter in the first inning.  Sure, the leadoff home...  [Posted on April 12, 2010 8:04 AM]

Game of the Year

Last night, as I'm listening to the UCB Radio Hour and visiting sites around the web, I noticed that one of my Facebook friends (and fellow mods at CardsClubhouse) said something about this being "the game of the year" in...  [Posted on July 30, 2009 8:07 AM]

Old Familiar Story

It's like I never left.Even as out of the loop as I've been, last night's game was a pretty familiar tune.  Good pitching, not enough offense, tough Cardinal loss.  Of course, if the Cards had been playing in a real...  [Posted on July 21, 2009 8:12 AM]

Mea Culpa

Few were harder on Brad Thompson than I was, either on here or Twitter, when it was announced he was going to start last night's game.  While I wouldn't take much of that back, I will say that he did...  [Posted on June 3, 2009 8:04 AM]

Keeping Milwaukee Decent

Always good when you can beat the Brewers so they don't start removing clothing on the field.  I don't think there's anything in baseball (not counting Chicago) that riles Cards fans up more than that whole untucking of the jerseys...  [Posted on May 28, 2009 12:02 PM]

Let The Offense Come Forth

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]

Pitching Is A Wonderful Thing

How things have changed.  It used to be, just a week ago, where if the starting pitchers gave up only three runs in seven innings, plans were drawn up for a parade.  Now, that's pretty shoddy work, at least in...  [Posted on May 25, 2009 10:33 PM]
