It’s been a while since I did one of these podcasts, but with the second half of the season upon us it seemed a good time to give it another go. Especially when you can land a guest the caliber of Drew Silva, writer at Rotoworld and Hardball Talk. Drew’s an overt Cardinals fan, so [...]
For the seventh straight year, the United Cardinal Bloggers are spending a summer afternoon looking at a baseball game through a number of different eyes. If you’ve been reading along after all the posts are done, you are coming here from Bob’s eighth inning over at On The Outside Corner. If not, you might be [...]
Yay, baseball! This four-day All-Star Break is tough, isn’t it? Back in the old days, you had Monday for Home Run Derby and Tuesday for the game, so it was really just Wednesday that was the issue, slogging through that with no baseball. That’s doable–we do off days all through the season (including a ton [...]
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been almost a month since the St. Louis Cardinals graciously hosted a ragtag group of bloggers for the fourth consecutive year. While I enjoyed myself immensely, as always, I’ve not sat down and actually done any writing about this yet. As the leader of said ragtag group, it’s really [...]
Since we’ve last spoken, we’ve seen the Cardinals move into first place, only to fall immediately out. We’ve seen them beat up on the Brewers, only to see the team from Milwaukee return the favor. We’ve seen a stellar pitching performance and something that, well, didn’t quite live up to that title. In other words, [...]
My compatriot Dan Buffa asked a couple of days ago “Who are these St. Louis Cardinals?” After last night, you might be asking the same thing, but with a little different meaning and inflection. Because, wow, that didn’t look like the team we’ve been following the last few months. (It looked like the team we [...]
Cardinals catcher to undergo surgery for torn ligament in his right thumb ST. LOUIS, MO (July 10, 2014) – The St. Louis Cardinals have placed All-Star catcher Yadier Molina on the 15-day disabled list with a torn ligament in his right thumb and catcher Audry (OW-dree) Perez has been recalled from Memphis (AAA) to take his spot on the [...]
To be fair, I’m partially writing this post to buoy myself up a little bit. John Mozeliak has just announced that Yadier Molina will miss 8-12 weeks as he has surgery to replace torn ligaments in his thumb. It’s almost a shame Yadi is as much of a heads-up player as he is–most players wouldn’t [...]
Cards GM John Mozeliak will talk to the press in about half an hour. Very long odds that this means there is good news on the Yadier Molina front.
For the third straight night, the St. Louis Cardinals meshed good pitching and just enough hitting to take a game from the Pittsburgh Pirates. For the third straight night, that win has been good enough to shave a game off of the Milwaukee Brewers’ lead (and, incidentally, been necessary to stay ahead of the Cincinnati [...]
Star Wars Night returns to Busch Stadium this evening and, for the second straight year, I am unable to attend. However, as one of the most known Star Wars/Cardinal fans out there, it’s incumbent on me not to let such things pass unmarked. You can see some of my other mashup work over here. As [...]
As Yogi Berra said, it’s deja vu all over again. Speaking for Cardinal fans, that’s perfectly fine with us. Kolten Wong gave the Cards their second straight walkoff victory, popping a home run that looked a lot like Matt Adams‘s from the night before. While the route wasn’t the same–this wasn’t a scoreless game by [...]
