“The actions we take The choices we make Moments, both big and small Shape us into forces of destiny.”–Maz Kanata For a number of reasons, I’ve not been able to sit down and do much writing over the last few days, days that have seen a lot of activity and things that need to be [...]
As you know from reading the blog on a regular basis (because all five of you reading this are fairly loyal), when the Giants and Cardinals get together I like to talk with Craig from THE San Francisco Giants Blog. Craig’s got a great community of passionate fans over there that have yet to stone [...]
Multiple reports have the Cardinals close to trading Mike Leake, with Ken Rosenthal stating the destination is Seattle. No rumors on return or when the deal might be finalized.
With the scratch of Yadier Molina due to soreness, five of the nine starters in last night’s game (Carson Kelly, Luke Voit, Paul DeJong, Tommy Pham, and Luke Weaver) started their season in Memphis. Given what the AAA team has accomplished this year–congrats to Stubby Clapp on that manager of the year award–it’s not surprising [...]
If you are an optimistic sort, the series loss to the Padres wasn’t necessarily a season-killer. After all, when folks looked at this homestand, there was the idea that the Cardinals really needed to go at least 4-2 and with a sweep of the Rays, the Cards would have made that mark. So all they [...]
It’s the final week of the second round of the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament. Last week wasn’t without its glitches, what with The Intrepid and Cardsblog unable to put their matchups up, Redbird Rants having the right matchup in their text but the wrong one in their Twitter poll, and my matchup getting a grand [...]
If you asked any fan of the Cardinals this past week about what they had to do over the six games with the Padres and Rays, you probably would have heard something about going at least 4-2 and that you can’t lose a series to either team, but especially a Padres team 10+ games under [...]
I said around the trade deadline, in the argument for moving Lance Lynn, that I believed you could get at least 80% of what Lynn gave you from folks like Luke Weaver. At least for one night, Weaver proved I had an inkling of what I was talking about. After seeing Lynn pitch tolerably but [...]
Every time you find yourself pulled into this Cardinals team and this idea that they can be competitive, they do their best to push you back out. That was the case again last night. Coming home, facing a team well under .500 and stocked with names even Dan McLaughlin had trouble handling, this should have [...]
Another week in the books for the GCM tourney! It’s been fun reliving all these moments and seeing them pop up, completely unrelated, in other places around the net. All of these are moments that mean something to us as fans. So let’s see where we stand heading into week 3 of the second round. [...]
Once upon a time I was tied with the Cubs But now I’m only falling apart And there’s nothing I can do A total eclipse of the Cards Once upon a time there were arms in my life But now there’s only Carlos and Luke Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the Cards [...]
A good majority of the 37,181 people that were at Fenway Park last night paid to see the Boston Red Sox. A not insignificant number paid to see the St. Louis Cardinals. None of them paid for an #umpshow, but Chris Segal gave them one anyway. Before we go into that and how it played [...]
