In 2009, before my second full season of blogging the Cardinals, I reached out to other bloggers to other teams to get insights on their clubs. This year, instead of going through the teams alphabetically, we’ll approach it a little differently, spending a week with each division. For the tenth straight season, get ready for [...]

Twenty-six St. Louis Cardinals got their contract situation settled yesterday. Twenty-four of them agreed to one-year deals that were befitting their status as players with less than three years of MLB service. Nothing dramatic about that–happens for every team every year. That’s part of the game, or at least it is right now. Given the lack [...]

We’ve turned the calendar and now there are only four weeks until the Cardinals begin their season in New York. While there are still plenty of things to figure out during the spring, there are some items of interest going on now that we should talk about. For instance, Adam Wainwright made his debut yesterday [...]
Last year, the Cardinals started off 3-1 in route to a 20-win spring schedule. Then they came out of the gate 3-9 and barely were a .500 team for the season as a whole. So starting the spring 1-3 should mean for an exciting and winning summer, right? OK, probably not. I mean, not that [...]
When the story about Kolten Wong taking yoga classes came out, my immediate reaction–as you are probably not surprised–was to recall this Dilbert cartoon. (And by recall, I mean look over my monitor at work where it is taped.) So what if Kolten took along some of his friends to this class led by a [...]
While spring training has been going for a week now, the position players didn’t officially start camp until Monday. Of course, they’ve been in Jupiter a while working out, but now they have the official drills and have a schedule of events, as it were. It also means I need to start shaking off the [...]
Around this time twenty years ago, Mark McGwire arrived in Jupiter, Florida, reporting to Roger Dean Stadium for his first spring training with the St. Louis Cardinals. It was actually everyone’s first spring training in Roger Dean as the club moved there that spring from Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg, where they’d been since [...]
One of the most famous quotes from The Dark Knight is “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself the villain.” Bud Norris is looking to flip that on its head. Norris, that notorious Cardinal killer in the past, agreed to a one-year, $3 million, major-league contract with St. Louis. It’ll [...]
Last night, the Cardinals announced the seven players that were up for fan election into the Cardinals Hall of Fame. If you haven’t seen it elsewhere (which would be a pretty big surprise), the press release is here. There were some surprises in the list, though all that made it are strong candidates. There was [...]
