Grichuk To Memphis

The Cardinals keep working toward that 25-man limit, sending Randal Grichuk to Memphis today. 34 are left in camp. We’ll talk about this more in the morning.

The last of our regional semifinals is below, the only one with the top four seeds still live.  Remember that all of these polls are open until noon tomorrow, so be sure to get your vote in and make it count! 1) Bruce Sutter vs. 4) Adam Wainwright How they got here: Sutter struck out [...]

Since 2009, one of the traditions of the spring has been the Playing Pepper series.  I ask a number of questions of blogs–some in the Baseball Bloggers Alliance, some not–that cover the other 29 teams in Major League Baseball.  This year, not only is my son involved–he and I came up with the last question together–but [...]
