We’ve talked a lot this year about what’s wrong with the Cardinals. When a team that we expect to be in the postseason flounders to 83 wins this year and misses October for the second consecutive year while the Cubs continue their season, it’s not surprising that things are going to turn negative. As a [...]
I was having a discussion with a colleague a few weeks back about (has it been that long?) my previous post. Specifically, we were talking about first base and Matt Carpenter. I would say, Yadier Molina and Carp are my two favorite players on the team. Yadi isn’t going anywhere, but Carp… Carp mainly plays three [...]
It’s been a quiet week for the Cardinals, for the most part, which means a quiet time here at the blog. (Though we are still taking your Twitter user ratings!) I’ve had a few ideas on posts but I haven’t gotten around to writing on them, though Allen and I did get a Meet Me [...]

Regular readers of the site may remember (but likely don’t) that the beginning of October is a tough time for me to blog. My day job–well, my only job–takes me out of town and getting up early to blog runs the risk of me fighting sleep on the drive there and back. When they are [...]
With the regular season now behind us, it’s time to turn to that annual tradition we have around these parts. No, not that one yet. No, we’ll get to that one. Man, that one is in the spring. No, it’s time for the third annual Top Cards on Twitter event! In 2015, we kicked this [...]
The coffin is nailed shut. Elvis has left the building. The fat lady has sung. Dan Buffa’s out of coffee. Whatever your metaphor, it well applies to the St. Louis Cardinals, who will be playing games that don’t technically matter for the first time since 2010. On one hand, it’s a little strange to be [...]

We’ve written off this team many times during the season, only to see them put together a little run or to see opponents in the race stumble. Hope has reappeared, only to be dashed again. Finally, though, this team is on the edge of the precipice. One more loss and they are home for the [...]

LOUIS, MO, September 27, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have named Moises Rodriguez as the team’s Assistant General Manager, earning a promotion from his duties as Director of International Operations.

Compared to the rest of the team, the infield is actually the most stable unit, in my opinion, heading into next season. Currently, Baseball Reference has it listed this way: 1B) Matt Carpenter 2B) Kolten Wong SS) Paul DeJong 3B) Jedd Gyorko C) Yadier Molina The biggest question in my mind is shortstop. Is Paul [...]
