The broad side of the barn is safe. I’m not sure anyone on the Cardinals could hit it. We’ve got five games to cover here. The Cardinals scored nine runs in one of them. They scored seven runs in the other four combined, including one that went to 13 innings. While there was a glitch [...]

A while back, Tara Wellman and I did a little matching up of Cardinal players to Marvel superheroes. And while we went away from him with this comparison in our initial matchups (as you can see here, someone else took up the shield), in at least one way. He seems to have spawned a civil [...]
