Have The Cardinals Bounced?

The weekend started with an internet furor over a Cardinal trade.  It ended with a lot more optimism after a stellar pitching performance.  In between, well, it's possible that the Cardinals hit rock bottom and bounced.  A quick recap:Friday (6-3...  [Posted on August 23, 2010 8:55 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]

Turning The Corner?

It's just been two games.  This team has teased a change before and fallen back into frustrating inconsistency.  However, with these two games, I really think that, at least temporarily, the Cardinals are on the right track for once.Let's start...  [Posted on July 17, 2010 9:29 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]

Pujols The Great

Sometimes, it's all sound and fury signifying nothing.Before the game last night, there was a lot of discussion (or whining, depending on your point of view--since I was part of it, I'm going with discussion) about the unorthodox lineup that...  [Posted on June 30, 2010 8:23 AM]

Talking Cardinals

I know, I still have UCB predictions to get up.  (It's sad when the head guy can't get them done, isn't it?)  I still have a few Playing Peppers to post.  But, blast it, it's been over a week since...  [Posted on April 3, 2010 8:52 AM]

Let's Play Some Ball!

I check the weather forecast and it's supposed to be in the sixties this weekend.  I can see the sun coming up earlier and earlier and staying up later and later.  Those might be signs, but the real indicator that...  [Posted on March 4, 2010 8:00 AM]

Clinching Doesn't Solve Everything

The Cardinals were able to lock up the NL Central this weekend.  They weren't able to lock down worries about the postseason, however.The clincher was nice and you have to give all credit to Adam Wainwright.  130 pitches and he's...  [Posted on September 28, 2009 10:44 AM]

The Cardinal Fan's Dilemma

Last night's results was about the worst-case scenario for those that want to see the Cards clinch the NL Central on the field.The Cubs lose, which is usually a great thing.  However, the Cardinals do as well, plus they have...  [Posted on September 24, 2009 8:09 AM]

Launching In Houston

Is there any way the Cardinals can arrange to play October facing Houston?Whatever the reason, either the ball park or just good timing, the St. Louis bats have woken up on their trip down south.  The 11 runs that the...  [Posted on September 23, 2009 8:31 AM]

We Are All Witnesses

I don't think of Albert Pujols as a home run hitter.  I mean, obviously he can hit home runs, that's never been in doubt.  However, in my mind he's a 35-40 home run guy, which is very good power, don't...  [Posted on July 1, 2009 7:19 AM]

Cardinals Still Searching

After a weekend (and a Monday) where the Cardinals scored eight runs in four games, it's obvious that there are still some issues.  A quick rundown of the games, in the typical style:Friday vs. Minnesota (3-1 loss)Hero: Rick Ankiel.  Two...  [Posted on June 30, 2009 9:17 AM]

Cardinal Bats Make Up For Lost Time

Not much time this morning, but when the Cardinals score 13, you've got to take notice.  So here we go now!In a game where the bats were working to that extent, it's harder to find a Hero, but it's such...  [Posted on June 11, 2009 7:10 AM]

Spiriling

It's too early to panic, right?That said, there's a lot of concern in Cardinal Nation right now.  An April that gave so much promise to the year has led to a May that's about as ugly as any month in...  [Posted on May 19, 2009 9:27 AM]

Cardinals Continue To Roll

Since we last got together to discuss the Cards on the field, they've won three of four and tied the other.  There comes a point where spring results have to be taken seriously, don't they?  The Cardinals are 15-6-2 and...  [Posted on March 23, 2009 8:15 AM]

Thoughts After An Off-Day

No game to talk about from yesterday, so just a few random topics for discussion.First off, Rick Ankiel notched a 83.7% approval rating from 56 voters, sliding him right in between Mike Shannon and Tony La Russa.  I gave him...  [Posted on March 10, 2009 8:12 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]

Cardinal Fallout

People are still talking about the Adam Kennedy dismissal.Bernie Mikalsz says it was a good thing. Ignore the sunk cost and just get rid of a guy that doesn't want to be here.  All he questions is the timing.  There's...  [Posted on February 11, 2009 8:05 AM]
