–Keep calm and start winning– It’s a good thing the new Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge is almost completed. Judging from most of the reactions I’ve seen over the last day or two, the Poplar Street, EADS, Jefferson Barracks, and Clark bridges don’t collectively provide enough room for all the jumpers in the greater St. [...]
As progress continues on the Ballpark Village construction site, we’re inching closer and closer to the grand opening of, among other things, the new Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum. If you’re interested in reading other ideas for the Cards HOF & Museum, I wrote some other thoughts about that a couple weeks ago here. The [...]
Stay with me here, you could win some free stuff. As the great “You drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an $80,000 BMW” once said (I’m choosing to use his more family-friendly, albeit longer alias), “Coffee is for closers”. It would seem Jason Grilli’s cup of coffee as the Pirates’ closer [...]
With the All-Star Game now behind us, we’ll spend the next two weeks racing towards the non-waiver trade deadline. To conserve battery power, you may want to turn notifications off altogether, or make sure you’re never far from a charger if you have the MLB Trade Rumors app for your mobile device. Great app, by [...]
It’s sort of like I’ve got a mini-streak going. Last week I started by reminding you all how brilliant I am, when I said the week before that the A’s were good, and the Cards would have their work cut out for them. Then last week, I talked about how it’s conceivable that short-term ridiculous [...]
I told you the A’s were good. Anyway… You probably hadn’t heard, which is obviously why you come to The Conclave, but the Cardinals kicked off a three game set against the Los Angeles Albert Pujolses of Anaheim on Tuesday night. As such, a lot has been made of the former Cardinals first baseman facing [...]
This month’s UCB project, as you may or may not already know, involves some daydreaming about Ballpark Village. But not the kind that many of us have done for the last decade or so. If you’ve not been to the Busch Stadium area lately, you may not be aware that BPV is going up [...]
You’d think a team that’s been around since 1892 would’ve done just about all there is to do in baseball. You’d be wrong. For all the NL pennants, World Championships, ROY awards, no-hitters and the like, there are still ways for the Cardinals to make baseball history. Personally, I’d like to see them check “perfect [...]
A few years ago, there was a commercial campaign–I can’t even remember what the product or service was–but it ran for a little while. Alec Baldwin and the dude from The Office (Jim, maybe? I don’t watch much non-baseball on TV) played Yankees & Red Sox fans who traded barbs, jabs, & zingers about the [...]
Last year, like most, you could cast your vote for the uh, “most deserving” players for the All-Star Game. No big deal, right? Happens every year. Until you realize that you could cast those votes before filing your Federal income taxes, and the IRS wouldn’t have any issues with you. …that is, unless your name [...]
Welcome to the new blog, “Go Crazy, Big Boy!”. I’m excited to be a part of The Cardinal Conclave, and looking forward to what’s lies ahead. I’d like to introduce myself, and give you a bit of a feel for who I am, what I’m about, and some idea as to what you can expect [...]
