The problem with the title of this post is that is all the hope that is out there, a flicker. Right now, we should be having a raging bonfire of hope or not have to worry about it at all, seeing the Cardinals celebrate last night. Unfortunately, that’s not how this Series has gone and, [...]
Baseball is marked by series. It’s one of the reasons that the wild-card play-in game is such an affront to most true baseball fans. We’re conditioned to watch our team play another team more than once. There are usually 52 series in a season and most are of the three-game variety. Best two out of [...]
The Cardinals are coming home to Busch tied with the Red Sox. And there was much rejoicing. Perhaps the lingering issues with the 2004 World Series are finally broken. St. Louis played a solid game last night, a game that would have been devastating to lose had the David Ortiz home run held up. That’s [...]
When you think about your team playing in the World Series, the last thing you want to hear is your ace after Game 1 saying things like “I was terrible” and compare his stuff to garbage. Yet that’s what the Cards got out of Adam Wainwright last night. While there were mitigating circumstances, there’s no [...]
This is what all the work is for. This is what makes those workouts in the winter, those exercises in the spring, that daily grind during the summer all worth it. This is why you get up early and stay up late. Folks, we’re blogging the World Series. Fans of 28 other teams can’t say [...]
World Series edition of Conversations! Chatting with Christine of Boston Red Thoughts about the Fall Classic. Give it a listen before Game 1.
The World Series isn’t like the Super Bowl. You don’t have huge events in the week leading up to the game. You don’t have endless analysis, rehashing the same point 25 times (maybe just 10 times). You don’t have hoopla and spectacle, you just have the game for the most part. Which means, in that [...]
As much as I’ve enjoyed this team and this season, I’m not sure I was really expecting this to happen. The Cardinals are the class of the NL and are just four wins away from a World Championship. You’ve read the stories by now, but we’ll rehash it a bit anyway. I spent this weekend [...]
Cardinals defeat the Dodgers 9-0 this evening and will open the World Series somewhere Wednesday night.
I was hopeful that, if the Cardinals moved on to the NLCS, I’d be able to find the time to record a podcast with the opposition. That didn’t happen, but now we have the next best thing. Scott Andes and his sister, Stacie Wheeler, run the Fansided blog Lasorda’s Lair that focuses on the Los [...]
Thanks to comments here and elsewhere, some more jerseys got their turn in the spotlight. We’ve got two new posts up on our Facebook page, which you should like if you haven’t already! Since there are so many of them, I believe a second post is in order. So kick back and enjoy round 2! [...]
Back in 2008, I was going through my closet of shirseys (with my budget, that’s what you get instead of the more expensive replica or real jerseys) and trying to decide what to wear. It came to me then that each shirt could reflect differently on the person wearing it. So I wrote about it [...]
