One of the earliest Cardinal blogs on the Internet was Fungoes, written by Matt Philip. It was a sabermetric-centric site as that sort of outlook was just coming into fashion.

In the wake of all the Giancarlo Stanton talk, there’s been a lot of talk about how St. Louis “isn’t what it once was” when it comes to a destination for various players. Free agents won’t come, folks say, because the aura and the mystique isn’t there anymore. That could somewhat be true, but let’s [...]
OK, I can’t actually start this post without confirming my Star Wars credentials. I know that the line that this post title is a takeoff on doesn’t actually exist. I can quote you the scene from The Empire Strikes Back with the surrounding context. I know Vader says, “No, I am your father.” However, it’s [...]
Yesterday we wrapped up our look through all those that got votes in our Top Cards on Twitter project. However, we did things differently this year.

Another day and no resolution on the Giancarlo Stanton front. However, if the rumors and reports are accurate, it seems like St. Louis might be best served by moving on. According to Craig Mish last night, neither St. Louis nor San Francisco is on a (I assume) recent list of teams he’d accept a trade [...]

Before we get into the top folks in our survey, here are the ones that we’ve already talked about: 76-97 51-75 26-50 All right, here we go! As we did last year, we’ll put up their bio and a recent or pinned tweet to give you a taste of who they are. Stats are through [...]
All right, we’ve tackled the first two chunks (76-97 and 51-75) of our list. Here we get into those that run right up to the Top 25. I don’t know if we need any more intro so let’s get on with it, shall we? A couple of changed names here and I can’t quite remember [...]
