The Cardinals went into Milwaukee, a place where they are quite happy to play, against a team that they have done quite well against, and won two out of three. Even that is a little disappointing, given the situation, but sweeps are hard. The problem is that with just a little bit less luck, they’d [...]
I don’t want to complain, because a win is a win and the Cardinals needed their victories the last couple of nights in Milwaukee. It helped them get a little more breathing room in the wild card race as Chicago has beaten Pittsburgh twice in a row as well. Everything is good here, situation normal….but [...]
We didn’t know it, but the run had begun. From this point until the end of the 2011 season, the drama would build, the excitement would take hold, and historical things were happening. Right now, it just looked like a regular part of a lost season. Taking Joy Where You Can Been a while since [...]
As referenced at the end of last night’s post, Rob Rains posted an interview with Kolten Wong on his site yesterday that got everyone talking. Even this morning, I found it tough to get the site to load as the traffic for that post was more than the site could handle. There’s a lot in [...]
Throughout this season, we’ve often made the comment that the Cardinals haven’t been able (or, if you want to cover both types, have been resistant) to do anything with momentum. Big wins are followed by lackluster losses, but there are enough wins and rallies to make you think this team still has a chance. It’s [...]
This post actually went up five years ago yesterday. Five years ago today, the run started while some of us watched, as it was Social Media Night at Busch that evening. The Cardinals sat 10.5 games out of the wild card with barely a month left. It’s no wonder that many of us were pessimistic. [...]
All year long, we’ve talked about this team being allergic to momentum. Big wins are followed up by terrible losses. The most you could seem to hope for was a couple of games in a row. Nothing that made you think that this was more than a slightly-better-than-.500 team. And yet, over the last week, [...]
The Cardinals spent the off day Monday visiting NASA (a different Ground Control than the one Chris Correa visited) and apparently charged up their bats while they were at it. Even though the offense generally hasn’t been a problem this season, after this series the Cards are riding their first four-game “serious” streak since the [...]
The Cardinals have announced Seth Maness will have Tommy John surgery Thursday, while Matt Holliday will have thumb surgery tomorrow.
If ever there was a line to summarize the 2016 Cardinals, the ending of Guardians of the Galaxy might just be it. Any time you try to summarize this team, you’ve got something good and something bad, though not always in equal measure. We’re behind on the games, so let’s go catch up. Wednesday (3-2 [...]
There are some days that it’s tough to know what to talk about in this space. The games, sadly, are often very similar and somewhat depressing to relive. There’s nothing happening off the field. Things seem stagnant. Then there are days like yesterday, when everything happens. Let’s get the game out of the way first, [...]
The Cardinals’ top prospect Alex Reyes has been promoted to the big leagues and, per Twitter source @cardsfanmatt, is already at Busch Stadium. The move has not been officially announced.
