The Cardinals had a homestand against two of the top teams in the NL West, two teams that are playing in the playoffs if the season ended this week, much less today. They went 5-2, showing again that they CAN play with anyone. And what do they get for their troubles? Really, not much of [...]
A three game sweep of the Rockies, along with some slippage by the Brewers over that time, got a lot of fans fairly excited about this team and dreaming about the possibilities. With the trade deadline coming up, folks thought if the club made this move or that move, the Cardinals could be right there [...]
Again, it’s hard to know what kind of weight to put on anything this team does, but sweeping a team that currently is in the playoffs makes you sit up and take notice a little bit. It doesn’t mean that all the problems on this Cardinals team are fixed, it doesn’t mean that a big [...]
Reports are that Harrison Bader is being called up by the Cardinals. The guess here is Dexter Fowler will go on the DL and Chad Huffman will be waived off the 40-man.
I think my Gateway cohost Tara Wellman said it best after the game last night: Nicely done, Birds. I don’t know what anything means anymore, but that was fun for a night. — Tara Wellman (@tarawellman) July 25, 2017 This season has had too many ups and downs, twists and turns for us to say [...]
We had a matchup of postseason glory versus legendary power this morning, so if you missed that, go check it out. This afternoon, we look at two very different postseason moments that both have reverberated through time. #7 Grover Cleveland Alexander strikes out Tony Lazzeri in the World Series (1926) vs #10 Tom Lawless flips [...]
Here we are starting our third week of the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament. I know I got into a very good discussion on Twitter (#BestCardsMoments if you want to hashtag) about our 8/9 matchup from last week and I hope that some of the other games have provoked similar thoughts and opinions. Let’s see where [...]
If the series against the Cubs could have just stopped after the top of the eighth Saturday, I think folks would feel a whole lot better about this team. It didn’t and they don’t. In so many years a squad just 4.5 out at this point in July would have some hope, some optimism around [...]
2017 has not been anybody’s idea of a great season. While it’s not a wasteland, it probably should be worse than it is, given the team hasn’t been over .500 since early June. When we look back on this one, nobody is going to list this as one of their favorite years to watch St. [...]
You know, I was going to write after Wednesday’s game in New York. Great title (“If You Can Make It There…It Probably Doesn’t Mean Much”) and some great games to talk about. I didn’t and now, oh boy now momentum and excitement and optimism for this team has taken a complete 180. The sound you [...]
We kicked off the second week of the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament this morning, so if you missed out on that one, be sure to check it out for a great battle of huge postseason home runs. This afternoon, we’re going with a pivotal postseason at bat against a legendary regular season moment. #6 Matt [...]
We’re one week into the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament (#BestCardsMoments) and we’ve had some fun matchups already. It’s not surprising, given the seeding on the ones we voted on in the first outing that there’s not been a real close one yet, but it’s still been fun to relive a few moments. Let’s take a [...]
