There are times where Mike Matheny proves that he just might know a thing or two about managing the Cardinals. When I saw that Shane Robinson was in the starting lineup yesterday, I was less than enthused. Robinson’s a nice player and all, but he’s never done much at the major league level even though [...]
The Cardinals have played two very different games over the last two nights. Both of them wound up with victories over the Diamondbacks, but the path they took were very different. Ballgames are like snowflakes, each one is unique. Plus they evaporate quickly and come in bunches. Which really isn’t relevant to what I’m saying, [...]
As our regular readers know, here in this spot we tend to take part in all the various United Cardinal Bloggers projects that come our way. This month we are taking one of our old standbys and giving it a new spin. In May and October (or November, depending on when the season ends), we [...]
Sure, there was a hiccup in yesterday’s game and they weren’t able to complete the sweep of the Atlanta Braves. However, it’s becoming more and more apparent that the St. Louis Cardinals that we were looking for to start the season have arrived. We had a week full of exciting games, winning baseball and the [...]
It lurks around every corner. You continually wonder if it’s going to rear its head. And just when you think the game is safe, it happens. The Lynning. The Lynning is a term that has seemed to catch on over on the Twitter for that one terrible inning that Lance Lynn always seems to have. [...]
Dan Buffa and I chatted on Saturday. What a difference a week makes! Go listen and see what we were thinking then. (OK, for some reason the links are showing in the main feed. Click on the post title, then you can find the direct link to the podcast.)
We’ve talked a lot lately about the struggles of the Cardinals. St. Louis seems to be unable to get out of its own way at times and as soon as you think they’ve turned a corner, you realize that corner led to a dead end. Momentum? Never heard of it. Yet for all of that, [...]
The good news is, the Cardinals won the game last night. Some of you might not know that, since it took until about midnight. I myself fell asleep for about 20 minutes before waking up to catch the end of it. So the Redbirds make it to the quarter pole at .500. They won the [...]
There was a bit of a mantra that sprung up around coverage of the Cardinals at the end of last week. It was pointed out that the Redbirds had the toughest schedule in almost 90 years when you are talking about the number of road games to this point of the year. Once they got [...]
Pittsburgh, from what I understand, is a great place to go see a ballgame. The views of and from PNC Park are spectacular every time I see them on TV. The Clemente Bridge, the city skyline, all of that makes for a visually appealing event. That was about the only appealing thing that came out [...]
Apparently Peter Bourjos made an impression. Randal Grichuk to Memphis, Joey Butler to the big league bench per Derrick Goold.
Yesterday, as you may have noted (and thanks to all that responded to the post), I was a bit worked up. Today, I’m much more calm and relaxed. That’s what happens when the Cardinals win and Mike Matheny doesn’t do anything infuriating in the process. I thought Matheny might find a way to get Jon [...]
