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]

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]

My 2009 Cardinal Blogger Award Ballot

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]

News In A Newsless Void

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]

Cardinals Get Ugly

Hopefully they were just saving it for today's matchup of Chris Carpenter and Johan Santana.  Because last night's effort, if you can call it that, for the Cardinals was sorely lacking.  I think Nick said it best last night on...  [Posted on June 25, 2009 8:04 AM]

Splashing To A Win

Did you see it?I had other things on the schedule last night, so I only saw it online, but Colby Rasmus had the blast of the year yesterday.  When you put one into the river at Pittsburgh, you've done something. ...  [Posted on May 15, 2009 9:23 AM]

Three Days, Two Losses, One Rainout

The problem with day games when I have other responsibilities that keep me from watching them is that the games seem like they never happened.  They are just recaps and numbers and you don't get a feel for how the...  [Posted on April 20, 2009 10:12 AM]

Ugly Play Causes Cardinal Loss

You'd never know it from the final 9-5 score, but yesterday's game against the Mets was a close, low-scoring affair that the Cardinals led.  Until the seventh inning.I was listening to the radio broadcast and John Rooney and Mike Shannon...  [Posted on March 27, 2009 8:51 AM]

Crafting Another Victory

For a spring training game, yesterday's matchup with the Boston Red Sox was a darn good pitching matchup.  Josh Beckett went for the visitors and allowed nothing over four innings.  The good news for Cardinal fans is that Chris Carpenter...  [Posted on March 13, 2009 8:47 AM]

A Disappointing Day in Cardinal Nation

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]

Take the Good, Take the Bad

Cards win, Cards win!  Always nice to get that 0 out of the win column, even if it is just the first week of spring training games.  And, really, is it ever bad to beat the Mets?That said, it definitely...  [Posted on February 28, 2009 8:20 AM]

Dave Duncan Speaks

Twas the Night Before Christmas, Cardinal-Style

This isn't necessarily one of my better parodies (I mean, it's no Pujols At The Bat) but I liked it enough for a Christmas break that I thought I'd share.  Enjoy and Merry Christmas!******Twas the night before Christmas, and...  [Posted on December 23, 2008 5:45 PM]

Miller Down, Greene Next?

The Cardinals finally got Trever Miller to sign on the dotted line.  Which will be longer, the elapsed time the Cards spent on the contract or the elapsed time he'll be on the mound this season?Honestly, though, this physical issue...  [Posted on December 4, 2008 12:28 AM]

The Waiting Continues

Anyone else with me and the "language" issues holding up Trever Miller's contract is that he's one of these quirky lefties that wants the contract written in the language of Borovia?  (Sorry, I've watched Imagination Movers with my kids too...  [Posted on November 25, 2008 11:07 AM]

Miller Time?

As of right now, Trever Miller is still a free agent.  Apparently, there are "language" issues between him and the Cardinals.  (Whether that means contract issues or that Miller and Dave Duncan are talking remains to be seen.)  It does...  [Posted on November 24, 2008 8:46 AM]
