This weekend was a [...]

It was a real treat to get to sit down with Chase Woodruff of Double Birds for this edition of Conversations. I’ve always found Chase’s posts insightful and enjoy listening to him and Maq on the podcast. We talk about some of those posts, how he became a Cardinal fan, and then get into some [...]

I don’t care how long this post gets, we are finishing up looking at all of John Mozeliak’s trades in this post.  Last time we linked to all the former posts, so if you’ve missed any you can find them there.  Some of the trades in this post may be hard to grade, as they [...]

Every fanbase has their underbelly, as it were.  Those fans that root for the same team as you do, but do so in crude, entitled, arrogant, jerky fashion.  Again, there is that segment in every fanbase, I believe.  It’s just that the Cardinals segment tends to draw a bit more attention from the world at [...]

Reyes Diagnosis Confirmed

Per John Mozeliak’s press conference this morning, Alex Reyes will have Tommy John surgery as feared.  Dr. George Paletta will do the surgery there in Jupiter.  Sad but expected.
